Titus 3: 2 to slander no one,to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone
Paul offers great advice. The people once lived with anger and envy, but they have been saved by a merciful God. Now their behavior needs to change.
We are living in a summer of discontent. One controversy after another rolls out. There are horrible natural disasters, and hate crimes are killing people, including Christians targeted for their faith, all over the world. It's good to consider these words, and it's even better to follow them.
Prayer: I need to remember to be more gentle and considerate. I need to pray for those who suffer, even those who lash out against others in their pain. I need to avoid controversy when it is just an exercise in vanity, but I need to rush in when my words and actions can lead to peace.
Amen
