Love Your Neighbor as Yourself

Built on the Rock
“Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. 2For with the judgment you make you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. 3Why do you see the speck in your neighbor’s eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye? 4Or how can you say to yourContinue reading “Built on the Rock”
We Love Because God First Loved Us
Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love.

Examine whose life?
Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test! I hope you will find out that we have not failed the test. But we pray to God that you may notContinue reading “Examine whose life?”
self centered…
Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.
