harmless, children of God without

shine as lights in the world,
16 holding fast the word of life, so that I
may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have
not run in vain or labored in vain.

1Ti 5:1,2
1 Do not rebuke an older man, but
exhort him as a father, younger men
as brothers,
2 older women as mothers, younger as
sisters, with all purity.
Philippians 2:1-4
1 Therefore if there is any consolation in
Christ, if any comfort of love, if any
fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and
mercy,
2 fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having
the same love, being of one accord, of one
mind.
3 Let nothing be done through selfish
ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of
mind let each esteem others better than
himself.
4 Let each of you look out not only for his
own interests, but also for the interests of
others.
Mark 10:15
"Assuredly, I say to you,
whoever does not receive the
kingdom of God as a little child
will by no means enter it."

RELATIONSHIPS:RELATIONSHIPS:Mt 18:14-17
14 "Even so it is not the will of your Father who
is in heaven that one of these little ones should
perish.
15 "Moreover if your brother sins against
you, go and tell him his fault between you and
him alone. If he hears you, you have gained
your brother.
16 "But if he will not hear, take with you one or
two more, that 'by the mouth of two or three
witnesses every word may be established.'
17 "And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the
church. But if he refuses even to hear the church,
let him be to you like a heathen and a tax
collector.
