Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it.

But select from all the people some capable, honest men who fear God and hate bribes. Appoint them as leaders over groups of one thousand, one hundred, fifty, and ten.They should always be available to solve the people’s common disputes, but have them bring the major cases to you. Let the leaders decide the smaller matters themselves. They will help you carry the load, making the task easier for you.If you follow this advice, and if God commands you to do so, then you will be able to endure the pressures, and all these people will go home in peace.”Moses listened to his father in law’s advice and followed his suggestions.He chose capable men from all over Israel and appointed them as leaders over the people. He put them in charge of groups of one thousand, one hundred, fifty, and ten.

But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, are only a small village among all the people of Judah. Yet a ruler of Israel, whose origins are in the distant past, will come from you on my behalf.

Then Peter told them exactly what had happened.

Spouting off before listening to the facts is both shameful and foolish.

Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.

We can make our own plans, but the Lord gives the right answer.

An honest answer is like a kiss of friendship.

A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare.
