FROM TODAY’S READING (3/16/2022)…
“We must give up the idea of trying to please everyone. The thing is impossible, and the attempt is mere waste of time. We must be content to walk in Christ’s steps, and let the world say what it likes. Do what we will, we shall never satisfy it, or silence its ill-natured remarks.”
John Charles Ryle (1816-1900)
Anglican Bishop of Liverpool, England
Galatians 1:10 (NLT) Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.
Apostle Paul
1 Thessalonians 4:1 (NLT) Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live in a way that pleases God, as we have taught you. You live this way already, and we encourage you to do so even more.
Ephesians 5:10-11 (NLT) Carefully determine what pleases the Lord. Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them.
