Consider these great quotes on how we treat others:
John Maxwell – "People may hear your words, but above all, they feel your attitude.  Your

                    KEYS TO UNDERSTANDING THE PARABLES
Parables provide insight into the nature, coming, growth and of the Kingdom of God.
Parables are by design intended to be surprising. They often sneak up on us.
Parables are used to simulate thinking and cause the hearer to carefully contemplate what they

                    SEEING IN THE GLORY OF GOD
Tom Long, professor of Homiletics at Candler School of Theology, tells the story of striking up a conversation with a man on a plane.  He said they shared the normal kind of nice chit chat, sharing what they each did for a living and sharing pictures of their families.

                    The story of Augustine's conversion is an inspiring and amazing one. In my opinion it is a miraculous account of God grabbing the attention of Augustine and speaking directly into his heart through the power of a perfectly timed scripture.

A healthy marriage is a safe haven where we can relax and recuperate from the tensions of everyday life. We need to hear positive things from our mate. Just as I gathered together some friends to tell me what not to say to a spouse, so they also suggested what they
