21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

I am so weary of all the bickering, the slander, the salacious gossip, the judging, the arrogance, the self righteousness, the politicking, the power games, the carnality and so much more that is the result of the TV vote at Tampa and the resulting Tulsa meeting later this month.

AMEN! Exactly what I've been tryin to say.
It is elementary to have realized this LONG ago, before I ever even posted here, I'd read here every now and then and immediately get the urge to fleee fast!
But I'm fond of THIS exercise is positive reasoning:

IF you are not part of the solution
Then you are part of the problem
If you're not part of the problem,
Then you're part of the solution

[ or somethin like this it could be turned several ways]

NOT that I have resembled any of this, I just think that this at least, sounds reasonably good.
In simpler English I think it probably means that:

To go along, thereby encouraging or condoning, is to be part of the problem.

To go against the grain, *which may encourage railing from those opposing this trend* eventually contributes to the solution.

Words to live by:

Treat others as you wish to be treated.


Jesus put the onus on each of us to do good before being done to......Do unto to others.....we are to be doers of the Word regardless of how we are being treated.

I would really like to see a show of hands of how many believe they are fulfilling this one.

(Mat 5:44) But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

(I Co 13:3) And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
(I Co 13:4) Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
(I Co 13:5) Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
(I Co 13:6) Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
(I Co 13:7) Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
