We’re called, not to fix people but to share the transforming gospel of Christ.
Proverbs 27:14
A loud and cheerful greeting early in the morning
will be taken as a curse!
Proverbs 27:13
Get security from someone who guarantees a stranger’s debt.
Get a deposit if he does it for foreigners.
How to Handle Praise
Our character is tested by the praise that comes to us. Every compliment that bounces into our ears should quickly rebound up to the Father. If we hold onto it, the poison of pride will begin to infect our hearts. But if we pass the praise to God, humility takes up residence in our souls.
