Here is Monday's Morning Message for March 16, 2026,
from Brother Sam Scheib:
Good morning, Brothers and Sisters in Christ. Happy Monday to you.
This week I want to encourage you to be kind. This may sound easy enough
but how about when you're met with the "tip of the spear?" Someone comes
at you hot, how do you respond? Do you fire back? Or do you calmly respond
with grace and kindness? "A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words
make tempers flare" (Proverbs 15.1). Meeting harsh words with harsh words
is like dumping gasoline on a fire. It will damage a relationship or worse,
destroy it. Being kind in these situations defuses the bomb and usually leaves
the aggressor dumbfounded and intrigued. Kindness is contagious. How
awesome it would be if it "infected" every corner of the earth. "Instead, be
kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through
Jesus Christ has forgiven you" (Ephesians 4.32). Jesus was kind to everyone.
Children, the poor, tax collectors, sinners of the worst sort, even His enemies.
We are to be kind like He was, even when met with harsh words. Think before
you speak and let the LORD use you. Be kind!
Have a blessed week!
Soli Deo Gloria!
