CHRISTIANS ARE DEFINED BY THEIR NEED FOR GOD

when we withhold mercy for any reason, we miss the point

CHRISTIANS EXTEND FORGIVENESS TO THE GUILTY & COMPASSION TO THE HURTING & SUFFERING

when we justify our sin and compromise our character, we miss the point

CHRISTIANS SEEK TO LIVE LIVES THAT ARE MORALLY PURE IN THOUGHT, WORD & DEED

when we fail to seek peace, even when we are wronged, we miss the point

CHRISTIANS ARE PEACEMAKERS, RECONCILERS & BRIDGE BUILDERS

when we avoid doing what is right for fear of persecution, we miss the point

CHRISTIANS ARE DEFINED BY THEIR OBEDIENCE TO GOD
