An honest man was being
tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light
turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the
crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating
through the intersection.
The tailgating woman hit the roof, and the horn, screaming in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection with him.
As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer.
The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a cell.
After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.
He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping the guy off in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him.
I noticed the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the ‘What Would Jesus Do’ bumper sticker, the 'Follow Me to Sunday School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car."
Hebrews 13:2
Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.
Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.
New King James Version (NKJV)
21 envy, murders,[a] drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
Proverbs 15:2
The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, But the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness.
The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, But the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness.
Ecclesiastes 10:13
The words of his mouth begin with foolishness, And the end of his talk is raving madness.
Isaiah 32:6The words of his mouth begin with foolishness, And the end of his talk is raving madness.
For the foolish person will speak foolishness, And his heart will work iniquity: To practice ungodliness, To utter error against the LORD, To keep the hungry unsatisfied, And he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
James 1:23
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror;
Proverbs 27:19
As in water face reflects face, So a man’s heart reveals the man.
1 Timothy 2:2
for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.
Proverbs 11:30
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise.
Proverbs 17:7
Excellent speech is not becoming to a fool, Much less lying lips to a prince.
Colossians 3:11-13
New King James Version (NKJV)
11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.
Character of the New Man
12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.Daily Sound of Oil
