NM GOP Leader Involved in Profanity-Laced Dispute Outside Restaurant/Bar in Santa Fe

I saw this report by the Albuquerque Journal when it first came out this week, but I have been so busy, I am sorry I have not been able to post it. This is the kind of story I pray I would never have to report. New Mexico Politicians involved in a verbal dispute outside a restaurant/bar that was laced with profanity. This is not proper behavior and not the example we want to set for our children. Let us have God guide our words and actions.  ABQ Journal Report Disagreements need to be discussed in a calm, cool way directed by the Holy Spirit.

Our children learn from us.

Ephesians 4:29

Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.

The Holy Spirit, Our Guide

John 16:12-15

All of God’s children are on a journey. And as we travel through life en route to our eternal home, every one of us will face a multitude of choices. Forks in the road and unmarked intersections challenge and frustrate us. In such circumstances, how can we know which way to go?

Jesus promised to give us an internal and ever-present Guide. Starting at the moment of salvation, everyone who trusts in the Savior is indwelt by the Holy Spirit, who promises to lead believers into all the truth. Like a built-in compass, He will direct us exactly the right way, regardless of the choice. He never makes a mistake.

So you may be thinking, If He is living in me and never makes a wrong choice, why do I keep messing up? His leadership is always right, but our reception isn’t always clear. Yielding to the Lord is an essential part of receiving His direction. We cannot tolerate sin and go our own way in one area and expect to receive His guidance in another.

Sin does to our understanding of the Lord’s clear direction what a magnet does to the needle of a compass. If a magnet is placed next to a compass, the needle will point in a multitude of directions. In the same way, sin will mislead us.

When a decision is unclear, ask yourself these questions: Will Christ be glorified in this choice? Can I do this in Jesus’ name? If either answer is no, then don’t follow that path, because the Holy Spirit is not guiding you there. His leading always aligns with Scripture and brings glory to Christ.
