\nAnd whatever you do in word or deed,
\ndo all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
\ngiving thanks to God the Father through Him.<\/span>
\nColossians 3:17<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bible represents general principles that permit spirit-led believers to determine the righteousness (or wrongness) of actions not expressly mentioned in God’s Word. \u00a0In everything that we say, do, think, or enjoy we must ask the following questions:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Can it be done to God’s glory?
\n\u2022 Can it be done in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ?
\n\u2022 Can it be done while sincerely giving thanks to God?
\n\u2022 Is it a Christ-like action?
\n\u2022 Will it weaken the sincere convictions of other Christians?
\n\u2022 Will it weak the desire for spiritual things, God’s Word, and prayer?<\/p>\n

God showed us the kind of God He is. \u00a0His deeds showed His love for us by sending Christ to die for us. \u00a0His banner over us is love. \u00a0His thoughts for us are of good and not of evil (Jeremiah 29:11). \u00a0The Word of God is to be enjoyed as it brings life (Proverbs 4:22). \u00a0It is like the two-edged sword that pierces the heart (Hebrews 4:12).<\/p>\n

\n

Sisters, it is good to do good deeds to everyone around us
\nas it gives glory to God.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Father, we thank You for Your Word always teaches us how to do good, righteous deeds. \u00a0We pray for forgiveness of all our sins and unrighteousness; dear Lord, forgive us. \u00a0I thank You on behalf of everyone. May You be praised, Lord. \u00a0In Jesus’ name, Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
