Lazy People
Lazy People In The Workplace
When dealing with people, (they are like zebras never changing their stripes,) evil doers will never switch-over to the side of good.
Japhy
When forced to interact with selfish people, you are tested of your kindness, patience and self-preservation.
Develop your ability to adapt and change, so you do not fall in to their trap of acting the ways in which they do.
Forgotten Statues
Have faith that good spirit shall reign.
In action, when speaking The Great Truth, -The Great Struggle,- compassion is discovered only for the living.
Reminder
“Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.”
Titus 3:1-2

Be Truthful
Deceive your Fellow Brother NOT!
“Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices”
COLOSSIANS 3:9
Did Not Seek Me
Here am I
“I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me;
ISAIAH 65:1
I was found by those who did not seek me.
To a nation that did not call on my name,
I said, ‘Here am I, here am I.’”
Light of the World
Light a Lamp
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.
MATTHEW 5:14-16
Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
To Be One, Know Him
To Be One, Know one
“Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’”
MATTHEW 7:23
Ask To Receive
Knock; and the door will be opened.
“Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
MATTHEW 18:19-20
For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
His Words
Words of Jesus
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
MATTHEW 11:28-30
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Kindness and Sterness
Of God
“Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.”
ROMANS 11:22
Bread and Love
Manna
“Man shall not live on bread alone, but by every word that prodeedeth out of the mouth of God;”
MATTHEW 4:4
The Church is our Christian Family; however, The Temple– the structure of worship- is your body!
The Temple is not a stone building, but worship- True Worship,
True Love emits from the center of the Temple’s heart.
Two pillars of the church are Strength and Beauty. A third pillar of the church is Wisdom.
A strong Christian sees God’s beauty in all things and practices mercy even with those who do wrong. After all, it is God’s duty to punish; and we are forbidden from punishing others.
Remain Calm
The Peace of God
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
What is Love?
Defining Love
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-8
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies,they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.”
