Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful. 7 For who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it? Paul used the word “steward” which is oikonomos (οἰκονόμος) in the Greek.  It was a word understood by people in his day.

That “something” is lying. In the world of politics and the larger society, the response to egregious acts by one or by the few is often, “Well, everyone does it.“ When I was a child—and perhaps you had the same experience— trying to downplay some lie or bad deed by attempting to deflect and bring others in the wrong. “Johnny did it too!” was met with a swift and strong rebuke from my mother, “I am talking to YOU!” This is Called “Moral Equivalence” Moral equivalence is the concept or rhetorical device that suggests two actions or behaviors, which may differ in degree or context, are equally morally wrong or right.

There are not many things better in life than peace. There are a couple of important ways to understanding peace as it relates to God and your spiritual life: 1) Peace is a state where one is in right relationship with God. 2) Peace is a mental/emotional state where there is an absence of conflict and freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts.

Mercy is a great gift and provision from God. Mercy is the gift before and after faith. Mercy is also a mystery because we don’t understanding exactly when, how, where is works. God’s mercy endures forever, but it should not be taken for granted. Like all gifts, mercy should be valued and appreciated.
