Memory Verse:
And
we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who
love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
Romans 8:28
…for the good….
Dear friend, don't let this bad example influence
you. Follow only what is good. Remember that those who do good prove that they
are God's children, and those who do evil prove that they do not know God. 3 John 1:11

Do good. We
have the choice. With every breath we take and with each action, word…and even
thought, we have a choice. Do good…or not. It is our choice about to whom we
listen or choose for public office. Be careful to whom you listen…and follow
their advice.
Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to
speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes
from God. For there are many false prophets in the world. This is how we know
if they have the Spirit of God: If a person claiming to be a prophet
acknowledges that Jesus Christ came in a real body, that person has the Spirit
of God. But if someone claims to be a prophet and does not acknowledge the
truth about Jesus, that person is not from God. Such a person has the spirit of
the Antichrist, which you heard is coming into the world and indeed is already
here. But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory
over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the
spirit who lives in the world. Those people belong to this world, so they
speak from the world's viewpoint, and the world listens to them. But we belong
to God, and those who know God listen to us. If they do not belong to God, they
do not listen to us. That is how we know if someone has the Spirit of truth or
the spirit of deception. 1 John 4:1-6
(underlined for emphasis)
Do your
thoughts, words and actions bring good of those who love the Lord?
Prayer
~ Lord God—you taught…do good to those who are good, whose hearts are in tune
with you. Psalm 125:4. Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should
do good to everyone--especially to those in the family of faith. Galatians
6:10.
