I am at a conference for men with our church called Man Alive.  Here are some great quotes from tonight’s teaching.

Someone is watching all of us…How do we deal with the inevitable opinions?  Here are some great thoughts I heard and wrote down…

1. Do what you can to win it. Romans 12:18
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. (Romans 12:18)

2. Beware when it’s too high. Luke 6:26
Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

3. In the end it’s a small thing. 1 Corinthians 4:3
But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.

4. God’s Opinion is what matters. 1 Corinthians 4:4
For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

5. God’s opinion in the end will matter. 1 Corinthians 4:5
Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
