"Oh, what a wonderful God we have! How great are his wisdom and knowledge and riches! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his methods! For who among us can know the mind of the Lord? Who knows enough to be his counselor and guide? And who could ever offer to the Lord enough to induce him to act? For everything comes from God alone. Everything lives by his power, and everything is for his glory. To him be glory evermore."
"As God's messenger, I give each of you God's warning:
1) Be honest in your estimate of yourselves, measuring your value by how much faith God has given you.
2) Just as there are many parts to our bodies, so it is with Christ's body. We are all parts of it, and it takes every one of us to make it complete, for we each have different work to do. So, we belong to each other, and each needs all the others.
3) God has given each of us the ability to do certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophecy, then prophesy whenever you can--as often as your faith is strong enough to receive a message from God.
4) If your gift is that of serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, do a good job of teaching. If you are a preacher, see to it that your sermons are strong and helpful.
5) If God has given you money, be generous in helping others with it.
6) If God has given you administrative ability and put you in charge of the work of others, take the responsibility seriously.
7) Those who offer comfort to the sorrowing should do so with positive cheer.
8) Don't just pretend that you love others: REALLY LOVE THEM!
9) Hate what is wrong. Stand on the side of good.
10) Love each other with brotherly and sisterly affection and take delight in honoring each other.
11) Never be lazy in your work but serve the Lord enthusiastically.
12) Be glad for all God is planning for you.
13) Be patient in trouble, and prayerful always.
14) When God's children are in need, you be the one to help them out.
15) Get into the habit of inviting guests home for dinner or, or if they need lodging for the night.
16) If someone mistreats you because you are God's children, don't curse them; pray that God will bless them.
17) When others are happy, be happy with them. If they are sad, share their sorrow.
18) Work happily together. Don't try to act big. Don't try to get into the good graces of important people, but enjoy the company of ordinary folks. And DON'T THINK YOU KNOW IT ALL!
19) Never pay back evil for evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honest clear through.
20) Don't quarrel with anyone. Be at peace with everyone, just as much as possible. Don't let evil get the upper hand but conquer evil by doing good."
