Philippians 2:14-15 Do everything without complaining or arguing, [15] so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation.
If we really want to have a moral influence in the world, the biblical way to do it is to actually live moral lives ourselves.
I don't mean 2 keep getting on a personal level through these blogs, some days I read a chapter and I feel I'm already in the middle of striving to do what I'm reading. In many ways we can relate.
Persecution is all good, as long as your being persecuted for righteous reasons. Being in the position God has me in, is definitely one of the most challenging things I've done!! It's important to show your godly character, and to help hold each other accountable to do so.
1 Peter 3:15-16 Do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience.
The existence of moral laws will not bring morality to our society. But, if we pursue our own personal morality, if we live like the good, decent, honest, generous, upright people that God wants us to be, then we will have an purifying and palatable effect on the world. We will be the salt of the earth.
