1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not a god of disorder but a God of peace. What does this verse mean to you?
What are ways that I can experience more of Gods peace and use his peace on a daily basis.
God is also teaching me that I am not to be the center of attention but that God is the center. How can I be mature in not monopolozing the conversation, being too wound up and very hyper and overly talkative? I am going to be in my realtives wedding this saturday could you pray that God is glorified in how I act? Because what I listed in above is not being in order and I know it.
My hearts desire is to grow closer to God and realize it is not about me but about Him.
What are ways you have grown in the Lord and put your life in order? What are ways have you helped others to grow in thier walk with Christ?

We're polar opposite. I am a listener more than a talker.
Some people want to blame God for all the bad and chaotic things that happen. Man causes the chaos not God.
It's helpful to take time out of your day to meditate on scripture. Pray. God has given me much peace in my life.
I try to encourage those around me. I try to answer questions here to the best of my ability. I do care about some of the posters here and I pray for them.

Great question and even better realization on your part. The short answer is to give up. There is nothing you can do to produce more spiritual fruit, Jesus Himself is already doing that. SO the best thing is to enter the Sabbath Rest that Jesus affords those who believe Him.
Hebrews 4:6-11 (New International Version)
6It still remains that some will enter that rest, and those who formerly had the gospel preached to them did not go in, because of their disobedience. 7Therefore God again set a certain day, calling it Today, when a long time later he spoke through David, as was said before:
"Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts."[a] 8For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his. 11Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience.

I've learned that God is patient, merciful, and understanding. I've grown closer to him by putting my focus on him more through out the day. Just by acknowledging all the things he's done for me. Get into the habit of praying and reading your bible daily. Spend time talking and listening to God. Know, that a relationship with God is a two way street. You have to be willing to allow him to work in your life to attain the peace you desire. It will come to you. Be patient and trust him. Telling people about what God has done in your life is a great way to talk to people and help with their walk. God has definitely been good to me. It helps me to hear of his goodness to others also. I pray that your relationship with him grows and that you receive the peace you are asking for. At your relatives wedding...Listen to others, join in on conversation when necessary, and be interested in what other people have to say. People will enjoy talking to you more also if you are interested in them. God bless!

One of the fruits of the Spirit is patience.
Saddly most try to produce fruits of the Spirit in their own strength, but a Christian cannot produce fruit when seperated from the very source of life: Jesus Christ.
When we rely on Him to live the Christlike life through us, we will find ourselves responding to circumstances in ways that we have never responded before.
All the things we may or may not do are not Jesus' chief concern. He is far more concerned with whether or not the Holy Spirit is reproducing the very qualities of the Savior within us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
As we cooperate (trust and rely upon the Holy Spirit to work in and through us) the fruit of the Spirit is reproduced in us.
Committing your life to Christ means believing in Him for salvation, obeying Him, and making Him Lord over every area of your life; this is essential to yield maximum fruit in your life.

1 Cor 14:33 is talking about conditions within the congregation.
1 Cor 1:10 is talking about all christians speaking in agreement.
Paul said when we defend our faith, it is to be seasoned with salt.
Salt in Paul's day made food taste better and also kept the food from spoiling.
So when we disagree with people it should be done respectful striving to gain a brother, Not attacking their beliefs and faith.

follow your heart and what you feel is right to do. no matter what happens if you are true to your own thoughts and beliefs how can you be totally wrong even if everyone else disagrees as long as you do not interfere with the free will and rights of others or break any of the laws rules and mores of the society in which you live.

A god of peace? Ready to send people to his hell for not believing does not sound like a peaceful god to me.
No son of god.

in elementary words between the criteria needs to be replied. that's the 2d element. the answer is that God is in a position to maintain away from evil yet he's not prepared because He needs us to do it. for sure, Epicurus isn't attentive to free will. I also suspect that he develop into not in any respect a figure. to apply an analogy, If I see my individual son about to screw up, i visit inform him he could no longer do it. even with if i'm in a position to quit it, i'm no longer prepared because I truly have already taught him to no longer commit evil. If he chooses to ignore my guidance, the evil is his fault no longer mine. i develop into in a position to quit it yet i develop into no longer prepared because my son is a being with a free will. God needs us to do the right challenge, yet when he fixes all of our complications and receives rid of each and every challenge in our lives, then the position is the free will to make alternatives.

It means that God wouldn't create and rule over a species that destroys itself and everything that surrounds it.

In the biblical context, this verse is a call to godly, orderly worship.
