Philippians 4:5

Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord [is] at hand.

after a strange week, here and at work, i just wanted to know how ya'll felt about this. BTW we have a strong prayer group at work and things are going really well, but someone told me (secondhand) thati was "overbearing" and a "Jesus freak" and a bible thumper (thank you very much BTW)

(there is more to this than i can say at this time)

i can live with it but i don't want to appear unreasonable. and the only time i give any advice/insight is when asked, or i see a person in a difficult situation, and i only let them know what God has done for me


please pray for this situation and myself for better understanding

I've been called a Jesus Freak, I tell them thanks. I know it's hard to walk away from ridicule, but remember you are only doing what God has called you to do. If you weren't upsetting the devil, you wouldn't be doing what is right. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad for great is your reward in heaven. "Glory"

thanks rev, but i remember a time when i was lost, and i hated who i was, and had several people approach me, now i realize/know that person(s) was trying to help, and i do appriciate it, but i never really wanted to be the "Jesus freak or the bible thumper" that some say i have become, what i was really looking for is an approach that is meek, and btw i will (and always will) mention God to others, but my primary attention is to the people that i feel need it the most, the ones in turmoil.


i guess my question on moderation was could i be to pushy, or too much

i have no problem with what people say to me or behind my back, and i realize some will like me and some won't, pretty much like anything else, none of which is my primary objective

What I see on the forum is a very humble man that loves God. People also calledJesus names my friend. That happens alot when you are doing good. Mt;13 "For the Word's sake."

(there is more to this than i can say at this time)

i can live with it but i don't want to appear unreasonable....sir I honestly think your main concern is pleasing God.. You can forget about making all people / Christians happy. That will never happen. Justcontinue to put a smile on God's face.and the only time i give any advice/insight is when asked, or i see a person in a difficult situation, and i only let them know what God has done for me

I pray for you and all of yours alot my friend.
