The longer I follow Christ the less I find I "know" about God. The sufferings of the damned will be no occasion of grief to the heavenly inhabitants, as they will have no love nor pity to the damned as such.

Does the world see honesty, honor of parents, control of anger, etc.

Thank God for them.

Some may scoff and mock, but they will notice how you have lived. All of us want to make a difference.We want to make an impact while we are on planet earth.After all, no one lives forever. How many of us became believers because of the influence of someone else? My point here is to refocus proper understanding of “good deeds”. ( Log Out /  We are here today and gone tomorrow.We want to know that our life has counted for something.We want to be sure that we didn’t waste it on things that don’t matter. That leads me to ask some pointed questions:§ Do you ever feel like hating someone because of their skin color?§ Do you ever think about having an affair?§ Are you ever tempted to cheat at work?§ Do you resent those who get ahead by cutting corners?§ Do you hold grudges against those who mistreat you?§ Do you spend time dreaming about illicit sexual encounters?§ Do you ever think, “I wish I weren’t a Christian just for a few minutes so I could do whatever I wanted to do?”.

1 Peter 3:13-17, The Day Before the End of the World 1 Peter 4:7-11, Never Be Surprised by Hard Times 1 Peter 4:12-19.

What did Peter mean? Imagine a circle that represents the character of mankind. As Jesus said, out of the heart come all the evils that make us unclean (Mark 7:20-21). And so I say with great longing in my heart not to do that: “God is glorified in me most when I am most satisfied in him.”, John Piper is founder and teacher of desiringGod.org and chancellor of Bethlehem College & Seminary. “God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him.” What I mean by the words is that this is true about us believers. Can't help but add this as a sidebar to my comment above: remember that it is totally biblical to deeply desire the salvation of all the people you know! Anyone who rejects God because of His nature does so because of their lack of understanding and appreciation for Who God is. Peter says that these fleshly desires wage war against the soul. Reason 1: It doesn’t glorify God. In the West, anti-Christian sentiment is more subtle and thus more dangerous. Listen to or download a digital audio version of one of these messages or receive them via our podcast and feed. Brothers and sisters, we are at war and the real battle is not on the outside; it’s on the inside. There certainly are contexts and times that deem abstinence from any number of things wise. A really crucial question comes in from podcast listener Amy, who asks: “Dear Pastor John, please don’t read this as accusatory, I’m just wanting to understand. If you think about evil long enough, you will be tempted to do it. I hear people say, “I’ll never do business with another Christian again” or “I’d rather hire an unbeliever.” What a shame when people turn to the world to do business because they are turned off by the way Christians act. Sometimes they will stand on the front porch, and sometimes they will even come into the house uninvited and make themselves at home.
