In our politically correct world today there is an idea that we should always major on the positive and never the negative. Weshould always stress the do's and not the don't, and should never say never. Therefore, in this post you will read some truths that are politically incorrect.
Never be so good that you are bad. Beware of self righteousness. "There is none righteous no not one." Romans 3:10. Never seek to be so zealous for God that in the process you trust your own righteousness rather the righteousness that God has provided for you in Christ. Romans 10:2-4.
Never be so good looking that you are ugly. Jesus said to the religious people of his day, "You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean," Matthew 23:27. If you focus only on the outward , you will neglect the most important thing. God expects you to be good on the inside. "The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." 1 Samuel 16:7. If you are beautiful on the outside and ugly on the inside, you will soon becomes ugly all the way around. If you are beautiful on the inside, you will radiate beauty in all things.
Never seek to be so wealthy that you become poor. "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" Matthew 16:26
Never work so hard for the here and now that you forget about the here after. "Every one of us shall give account of himself to God." Romans 14:12 ". Paul said, "For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ." Galatians 1:10 Never be so tied up in knots worrying about today that you forgot that you have a Heavenly Father Who watches over you. "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34. "Do not be like them (those who do not have a personal relationship with God), for your Father knows what you need before you ask him." Matthew 6:8.
