Today's Thought

 Today's Thought:

Then these came...and asked .., saying, Sir, we desire to see Jesus... Then I, the prisoner in the Lord, exhort you to walk worthily of the calling in which you were called, holding forth yourself as a pattern of good works about all things in doctrine, in purity, sensibleness, incorruption, in sound speech, without condemnation, that he of opposition may he ashamed, having nothing bad to say about you. Do all things without murmurings and disputings, that you may be blameless and harmless, children of God, without fault in the midst of a crooked generation, even having been perverted, among whom you shine as luminaries in the world, holding forth the Word of Life... Beloved, I exhort you as pilgrims and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul; having your behavior good among the nations, in that which they speak against you as evildoers; by observing your good works, they may glorify God in a day of visitation. (John 12:21; Eph 4:1; Titus 2:7-8; Php 2:14-16a; 1Pet 2:11-12)
