Anyone who meets a testing challenge head-on and manages to stick it out is mighty fortunate. For such persons loyally in love with God, the reward is life and more life.
In simply humility, let our gardener, God, landscape you with the Word, making a salvation-garden of your life.
Act on what you hear! Those who hear and don't act are like those who glance in the mirror, walk away, and two minutes later have no idea who they are, what they look like.
Don't let public opinion influence how you live out our glorious , Christ-originated faith. If a man enters your church wearing an expensive suit, and a street person wearing rags comes in right after him, and you say to the man in the suit, "sit here, sir; this is the best seat in the house!" and either ignore the street person or say, "better sit in the back row," haven't you segregated God's children and proved that you are judges who can't be trusted?
If you refuse to act kindly, you can hardly expect to be treated kindly.
