The Terminator - #6467

When the Devil Pulls Your String - #6151

"Judge" in the Bible: Matthew 7:1-5
It's a natural human impulse to judge and criticize others, to note how they don't measure up to our standards in one way or another. But the Bible is clear about the role of judgment in our lives: we should focus on our judging eyes on ourselves and our own ample faults, rather than obsessing on the flaws of other people.

Premature Bombs - #2814

Fragile Stickers - #2632
A lot of times we handle people roughly in reaction to how they handled us. But Jesus calls us to do pro-active talk, not reactive, not treating people as we were treated by as we want them to treat us, and treating them, not as they have treated you, but as Jesus has treated you.

Flowers While they Can Smell Them - #2855
The people in your personal universe are people in desperate need of regular encouragement. How are you doing in giving it to them? Some of us came from a background where there was little praise, little encouragement - so it's hard for us to give what we never got. But you of all people should know how much it hurts not to get it. Ask the Lord to give you eyes to see the positive in the people around you, and the words to tell them.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Family Infections - #4436
Every family has them - those germs that get passed around the family. And they're not all the kind you go to a doctor for. The most virulent, most damaging family infections of all come from moral germs, spiritual germs, some of which have infected generations and are in the process right now of being passed on to yet another generation.

“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.”
- 1 Corinthians 13:1-3
Today's passage is from the New International Version of the Bible
