What is a Christians Role in an Angry World? There seems to be great conflict at every turn Political Social Family Geographic Monetary Religious Where has the kindness gone? Are we “Meaner” than ever? Quicker to react Don’t trust anymore Anonymity of the Internet

What is a Christians Role in an Angry World? How is a Christian suppose to act? Do we participate? Water Cooler Talk Is it an opportunity? Peter and Paul had some opinions on this I Peter 2:11-12 Strangers & Pilgrims We didn’t have a people (vs. 10) Duty to ourselves & others I Th 4:11-12 Lead a quiet life Mind our own business Work with our hands Walk “properly”

A Christian as a Neighbor? Does your Neighbor know who/what you are? Much more isolated than in the past 2 Co 6:14-18/1 Co 5:9-13 Jesus example – Mark 2:14-17 Is it an opportunity? What do we “owe” our neighbors Romans 12:17-21 Live peaceably Revenge/Evil for evil Therefore…. I Corinthians 10:32-33 Give no offense! Seek not your own profit but thiers Why? THAT THEY MAY BE SAVED!!

A Christian as a Neighbor? What do we “owe” our neighbors To Love them Romans 13:8-10 Kindness through hospitality Romans 12:13 I Timothy 3:2/5:10 Use our time to get ready to answer! Colossians 4:5-6 Ephesians 4:25 Do good The light on our good works – Matthew 5:14-16 To all men – Galatians 6:10/I Thessalonians 5:15 Humility to all Titus 3:1-2

A Christian in the Workplace? General attitudes in the workplace Disengaged Clock Watching What is in it for me? Examples from the Scriptures Ephesians 6:5-8 Obedient As to the Lord When they are watching As servants of Christ With good will As to the Lord

A Christian in the Workplace? Examples from the Scriptures Colossians 3:22-25 Instructions repeated I Timothy 6:1-3 Bring honor to God’s name Titus 2:9-10 Don’t steal Obey those who are over you (unless they ask you to do that which is unethical or illegal) Work with proper respect and good will toward your boss Labor sincerely and heartily, as to the Lord and not to men

A Christian in the Workplace? Do not work only when the boss is watching, or just to please those over you Demonstrate that you can be trusted with responsibility Offer such service, not just to good employers, but even to those who are unfair -- In so doing, you are adorning the doctrine of God our Savior!
