Episode 29
Yes we want to live a life that is recommendable and we want to live in a manner that others respect how we live as followers of Christ. But just because we live a life like that doesn't mean everyone will respect that. As followers of Christ we will be ridiculed and we will get made fun of and we will get "hated" on. The fact is there are mean and evil people in this world.
So stop caring what others think of you! You are spending time and energy and emotion worrying about it but in the end the only opinion that matters is God's!!
Proverb 29:25
The fear of human opinion disables;
trusting in God protects you from that. (Message)
It is dangerous to be concerned with what others think of you, but if you trust the Lord, you are safe. (GNT)
Gal 1:10
10 You can see that I am not trying to please you by sweet talk and flattery; no, I am trying to please God. If I were still trying to please men I could not be Christ’s servant. (TLB)
10 Does this sound as if I am trying to win human approval? No indeed! What I want is God's approval! Am I trying to be popular with people? If I were still trying to do so, I would not be a servant of Christ. (GNT)
Josh 1:9
9 This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (NLT)
9 Remember that I have commanded you to be determined and confident! Do not be afraid or discouraged, for I, the Lord your God, am with you wherever you go.” (GNT)
