Scriptures: Colossians 4:5-6 “Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” (NIV)
Nugget: This scripture makes me think of visitors to my church. We want to make them feel at home, not as if they are really visiting. We must also consider that this could be someone’s first time coming to church, so we want them to understand what’s being said & walk away with knowledge of Jesus!
This scripture doesn’t necessarily have to apply to church only, it applies to life. Allow outsiders (new people on the job, new family members (there’s a lot of weddings going on!), & more to feel like they’re a part of what’s going on without being overwhelmed.
Quote: “Let a man set his heart only on doing the will of God and he is instantly free. If we understand our first and sole duty to consist of loving God supremely and loving everyone, even our enemies, for God’s dear sake, then we can enjoy spiritual tranquility under every circumstance.” –A.W. Tozer
