We may know that these things make no difference, but we cannot just go ahead and do them to please ourselves. We must be considerate of the doubts and fears of those who think these things are wrong. We should please others. If we do what helps them, we will build them up in the Lord. For even Christ didn't please himself. As the Scriptures say, "Those who insult you are also insulting me." Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. They give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God's promises. May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other-each with the attitude of Christ Jesus toward the other. “and I think this will be our verse for today,” Samantha said, “It was like we were supposed to read it, cause this was the first thing I came to when I opened it.” Pulling the bible into her lap Rachel read the words to herself, “Wow I think this it our verse for the week.” “Ok,” I suddenly cut in, I think we should say a little prayer.” Grabbing each others hands we took turns praying and when we finished we all felt like a burden had been lifted.

Romans 15 Tells us to build each other up instead of tear each other down, for the insults of those who insult you will fall upon the Lord. What this means is when you say things that are hurtful even though you mean only to be funny they subconsciously tear apart the persons esteem and self worth. Words are so powerful, for the world was created by the spoken words from the Lords mouth, and can transform a persons life for the better or worse.
