All of these chapters seem very tactical. I really like reading them. Its a great example of how to treat people. Sometimes I don't think enough about how my actions are affecting other people....not just in the things that I say, but in how I act.
I like the premise that you pick your path in life, and live it for God. But, your chosen path is between only you and God and you shouldn't condemn anyone for choosing a different path.
Agreed,these are great chapters. I was re-reading in the Message translation. I liked the following:
ReplyDelete"v10-12 Your critical and condescending ways aren't going to improve your position there one bit...So tend to your knitting. You've got your hands full just taking care of your own life before God."
amen to that
