Matthew 5:37
Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’;
anything more than this comes from evil.
We are all now familiar with the phrase, "Cancel Culture."
Tonight, I was listening to a Program saying one of the problems today is the fleeting values of Culture. The absurd way values change year to year. This was romantically assessed as growth. I don't think this is growth. I believe a great deal of this is pressure and overt and covert bullying.
In the year 2000, an acquaintance of mine, went to a jazzy dinner party where the discussion was hijacked to be a guest's moral and ethical values. When others disagreed, then there was expert, verbally annihilation. The Dinner Party wasn't complete with tears. The attacks continued. 100 years ago, this would have been a misogynist attacking women.
My acquaintance friend was shamed to silence.
There are several highly effective solutions to Adult Bullying.
Say no. Doesn't even have to be loud. Repeat no, if necessary. End the spin. And do what the Bible says.
Matthew 5:38-40
You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.
You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.
Matthew 5:38-40
“You have heard that it has been said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I tell you, do not fight with the man who wants to fight. Whoever hits you on the right cheek of the face, turn the other side also."
Dionne Warwick must have liked this Biblical Verse. The Dionne Warwick Version says, "Walk On By." Bye.
A rolling-past soap box collects no más. Go home. Go to the Restroom. Changing locations sometimes simply shifts the conversation. Say, "Dear, we are Leaving." Say, "Dessert Course, another location."
Never agree. To be Bullied.
Never, never, never, never give up.
Never, never, never give up on Truth and Mercy
Never, never, never, never give up.
Never, never, never give up on Truth and Mercy
The Truth is a well-spring of well-being.
Ten years of hate from social and political 'expectations' of equality led to the original haters being beheaded several times, bloodbaths and the Reign of Terror. Rolling hate. Haters grow hate with lies, intimidation and never ending senseless arguments.
Stand up for what is right.
Even with one simple word, no. No verbal accompanying shot has to be fired.
2 Timothy 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear;
but of power,
and of love,
and of a sound mind.
Skip the anger. Skip the drama. Do what is right. Feel good.
Culture -
The arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively.
Attack Culture does not allow for difference of opinion. A rigid adherence to a code of conduct. Anything outside the idea box is labeled as fascism. Odd. There is no savor the flavor of ideas generating growth. Do not adhere within the box. Avoid being a clone.
Romans 12
2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.
4 For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function
So we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
6 Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; 7 if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8 the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.
Abba,
Joy to read the Brothers of Jesus Christ. We find Your Words taught to us, Your Family.
Jude 1:2
Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.
Joy to read John the Beloved Disciple living into the 2nd Century in endurance and Love.
John 20:21
Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you."
We ask You to Dwell in us.
And in Your Love and Mercy to be displayed and a True Peace,
we pray to un-learn the art of not being seen.
Hebrews 12:14
Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy;
without holiness no one will see the Lord.
We pray to be the Helper in ending The Great Cold, this Virus Covid.
To persevere, to encourage, to be merciful, to be Truth.
In Lovely circumstance, in distance circumstance, in times of unequal blessings
a real part of the ups and downs of life, and in great discomfort -
to find real Brotherhood
Timothy 1:2
To Timothy, my dear son:
Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
James 2
Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in. 3 If you lavish attention on the man in fine clothes and say, “ Here is a seat of honor, but say to the poor man, “You must stand or “Sit at my feet, have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?

Hebrews 13:2
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Pursuit what is Good.
Disregard what is unnecessary. Look to what is Good.
Jude 1:16
These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
Be Genuine. Love what is Good.

2 Corinthians 8:9
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes
He became poor, that ye through His poverty might become rich.
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes
He became poor, that ye through His poverty might become rich.
Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable are His judgments and how inscrutable His ways!
For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be glory forever.
We will take the strength of God and find:
Father in Your Strength,
we will find More Heaven on earth and
see You first.
We will place those we love confidently in Jesus Christ.
Dwell in us, we ask in the Name of Jesus for Your Help.
Jesus help us in this Nation to be in Your Word and more Joyful.
