God prefers changed lives to silver tongues

Monday April 7^th, 1 Peter 1: 17 You say that God is your Father, but God doesn't have favorites! He judges all people by what they do. So you must honor God while you live as strangers here on earth.  No favorites in the Kingdom of God, not even for you or me.  Hard to believe isn’t it.  But then maybe it is the “we have it right and they have it wrong” mentality that is the problem.  It is one thing to claim God as your father, to say the Lord’s prayer every Sunday, or at least when you show up at worship, it is quite another to claim that love deep down so that every moment is lived as a child of God, not for you, but for others, your sisters and your brothers.  As the song goes, they will know we are Christians, not by our programs, our wisdom, our eloquence, our doctrine, but by our love.  God prefers changed lives to silver tongues.
