Good points. The world has desensitized the morality of many to passivity. I’m working on that myself. God’s standards matter.
“The Lord works out everything to its proper end— even the wicked for a day of disaster. The Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.”
Proverbs 16:4-5 NIV
“The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.”
Proverbs 18:21 NLT
“Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.”
Proverbs 27:17 ESV
Praise God for not giving up on us!
“I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.”
Philippians 1:3-11 ESV
