Okay, guys, I have to run. I'm headed home from the beach. I'll get the "Week at a Glance" up tomorrow.

Coming off of Week 1 and my action plan for application, I was not surprised that what jumped out at me was "Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles". Okay, Okay. I am getting the message! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! this chapter is chock full of things to convict me. I started off by looking up the word malice. I have a general knowledge of the word, but i wanted a specific meaning. It specifically means "the desire to inflict injury, harm, or suffering on another". How many times in my own life have I let malice reign in my heart? I would love to say never, but the truth is I've had my share of bad thoughts and desires toward others. I think it's very fitting that this chapter starts by telling us to get rid of malice and ends by telling how Jesus didn't retaliate even when He was clearly in the right.
