If we love Christ we speak Bible into every situation and every relationship. Every single thing is evaluated according to God's heart and commands.
When we have the Holy Spirit living in us everything we think about will be filtered through the word of God. We won't have to work hard at it because we love Him, because we seek Him.
So what is going on in so many "Christians" that they become angry when we speak Bible to them? Why do so many act irritated and even rage when we can only think in terms of how God would think?
Might I suggest that many people like this are not born again. Also there are those who believed on Christ but have kept themselves in the world so much they think more like the world.
Our job as workers for Christ is to bring the thinking always back to God. If this is irritating to some that is not on us, its on them for not enjoying Christ so fully that they love to hear about Him and His principles no matter where they are or what they are doing. In fact born again believers when together at a gathering or picnic have been known to bust out in song for no reason at all except for the joy that wells up inside of them at the mention of Him.
John 17:16-17 "16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.…"
Romans 12:2
"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
1 John 2:15
"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him."
John 17:14
"I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world."
Pray for the superficial Christians that they become convicted over their love for the world that keeps them in bondage to the thinking of the world instead of thinking with the mind of Christ.
Colossians 3:2
"Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth."
When we set our minds continually on Christ the arrows of the devil do not bring us low, they only strengthen our resolve to keep going only more intensely than before.
