<br>Welcome to ...
<br>The Basic Principles Of Customer Care
<br>At The Institute For Best Customer Care
<br> For Everyone In Your Company, From Top To Bottom
<br>A Service Of The Institute For Best Customer Care - Rev. Bill McGinnis,
<br>Director
<br>
<br>The Basic Principles Of Customer Care
<br>
<br>
<br> Compiled And Edited By Bill McGinnis
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>FIRST SOME DEFINITIONS, AS USED HERE:
<br>
<br> YOU - means you, yourself, the reader of this page, whoever you may
<br>be.
<br> YOUR COMPANY - is any organization of which you are a part.
<br> YOUR CUSTOMER - is any person who visits your company, either online
<br> or in person, in order to obtain something from it.
<br> CUSTOMER CARE - is how you treat your customers.
<br>
<br>
<br>1. TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED IN THE SAME
<br>SITUATION
<br>This an application of the "The Golden Rule," our most important guideline
<br>for dealing with other people, which is, "Treat Others As You Would Like
<br>To Be Treated." This is the most important rule in all human
<br>relationships, not just customer relationships. You can apply this rule to
<br>almost any situation, and you will not be far wrong.
<br>
<br>
<br> *******************************************************
<br>
<br>2. LEARN TO SEE AND FEEL FROM YOUR CUSTOMER'S POINT OF VIEW.
<br>You like it when the other person understands your point of view and can
<br>see problems the way you see them. So do the same for your customer. Learn
<br>to see and feel every situation from your customer's point of view. The
<br>ability to do this is called "empathy," and it will help you in all kinds
<br>of human relationships, not just customer relationships.
<br>
<br>Learn to "laugh when they laugh and cry when they cry."
<br>
<br>NOTE: For more about empathy, you can visit the free Christian Empathy
<br>Training Website at =>
<br><a href="http://www.loveallpeople.org/empathytraininginstitute.html">http://www.loveallpeople.org/empathytraininginstitute.html</a> Please be
<br>advised that this website does contain some religious content based on
<br>Progressive Biblical Christianity. Employers should not require their
<br>employees to use this link.
<br>
<br>
<br>3. SMILE AND BE FRIENDLY.
<br>You like it when people smile at you and behave in a friendly manner. So
<br>do the same to your customers. It is an ancient Chinese proverb, that "the
<br>shop owner must have a friendly face."
<br>
<br>
<br>4. BE COURTEOUS AND RESPECTFUL
<br>You like it when people are courteous and respectful to you. And you
<br>dislike it when people are discourteous or rude to you. So be courteous
<br>and respectful in all of your dealings with your customers.
<br>
<br>
<br>5. IF POSSIBLE, LEARN AND REMEMBER YOUR CUSTOMER'S NAME, AND USE IT
<br>FREQUENTLY.
<br>You like it when other people remember and use your name. So do the same
<br>for your customers.
<br>
<br>
<br>6. DON'T ARGUE.
<br>Arguments are very negative. They poison good human relationships. You
<br>don't like it when someone argues with you. So don't argue with your
<br>customers. And if you see an argument coming, take the appropriate steps
<br>to avoid it before it causes any damage.
<br>
<br>
<br>7. DON'T CRITICIZE OR EXPRESS DISSATISFACTION WITH YOUR CUSTOMER IN ANY
<br>WAY.
<br>Criticism builds hostility and bad attitudes. Criticism is poison to good
<br>Customer Care. You don't like to be criticized; so don't criticize your
<br>customers. They don't like it, either. And you won't help accomplish
<br>anything good by criticizing. As your mother probably taught you, "If you
<br>can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." But even better:
<br>find something nice to say.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>8. GIVE YOUR FULL ATTENTION TO YOUR CUSTOMERS WHEN THEY ARE TALKING.
<br>You like it when people pay full attention to you when you are talking. So
<br>do the same for your customers. Don't be half-trying to do something else,
<br>or playing with your smartphone.
<br>
<br>
<br>9. WHERE APPROPRIATE, TALK ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMER'S INTERESTS.
<br>You like to have other people talk with you about your interests. So do
<br>the same for them. Find out what things your customer is interested in,
<br>and steer the conversation toward these things.
<br>
<br>
<br>10. WHERE APPROPRIATE, ADMIT YOU MAY BE WRONG.
<br>This idea is surprisingly powerful and useful!
<br>
<br>Here's what to say, whenever there is a question as to a matter of fact:
<br>"Now, I may be wrong about this. I frequently am wrong about things. But
<br>this is the way it appears to me:" (And then state your beliefs.)
<br>
<br>By admitting you may be wrong, and by admitting that you frequently are
<br>wrong (You are, you know. We all are.), you encourage the other person to
<br>admit that he, too, may be wrong! Then, with your egos out of the way, you
<br>can both search objectively for the truth!
<br>
<br>And if you really are wrong this time, it will be much less embarrassing
<br>for you than if you had been stubbornly insisting that you were totally
<br>right!
<br>
<br>
<br>11. LET YOUR CUSTOMER DO MOST OF THE TALKING.
<br>You like it when people let you do most of the talking. So do the same for
<br>them. It won't hurt you, and you might learn something.
<br>
<br>
<br>12. LET YOUR CUSTOMER TALK ABOUT HIMSELF.
<br>You like to talk about yourself, don't you? We all like to talk about
<br>ourselves! But restrain the urge, and let your customer talk about
<br>himself, instead.
<br>
<br>
<br>13. LET YOUR CUSTOMER TAKE THE CREDIT WHEN GOOD THINGS HAPPEN.
<br>If something has worked out well, don't grab the credit for yourself, even
<br>if you think you deserve it. Give it to your customer. Say, "It couldn't
<br>have happened without you."
<br>
<br>
<br>14. LET YOUR CUSTOMER SAVE FACE.
<br>The expression "saving face" means to maintain dignity, or not to look
<br>like an idiot or a worthless person. Sometimes people do things which make
<br>them look like an idiot or a worthless person. If you can rescue your
<br>customer in such a situation, and help him maintain his dignity, you have
<br>done a very good thing.
<br>
<br>And maybe someone will do the same for you some day, when you need it
<br>most! "As you do, so shall it be done unto you."
<br>
<br>
<br>15. REMEMBER: WHEN YOU ARE WITH A CUSTOMER, YOU ARE THE COMPANY TO HIM.
<br>Your customer's opinion of your company may be based almost entirely on
<br>his experience with you. So make that a good experience, to the best of
<br>your ability.
<br>
<br>
<br>16. HOLD YOURSELF TO HIGH AND NOBLE STANDARDS, AND EXPECT THE SAME FROM
<br>OTHERS IN YOUR COMPANY.
<br>People tend to live up to the expectations others have of them. If you
<br>expect a lot from people, they tend to give what you expect. Likewise, if
<br>you expect little from people, that is what they tend to give.
<br>So act honestly yourself, and expect honesty from your co-workers; act
<br>morally yourself, and expect morality from your co-workers; act fairly
<br>yourself, and expect fairness from your co-workers. Be a good example to
<br>them.
<br>
<br>
<br>17. GO THE EXTRA MILE.
<br>You are pleasantly surprised when other people do more for you than you
<br>had asked or more than you had expected. So do the same for your customer:
<br>"Go the extra mile," to be pleasant and helpful in all respects.
<br>
<br>BLESSINGS TO YOU, AND BEST WISHES FOR YOU IN YOUR CUSTOMER CARE.

<br>By admitting you may be wrong, and by admitting that you frequently are
<br>wrong (You are, you know. We all are.), you encourage the other person to
<br>admit that he, too, may be wrong! Then, with your egos out of the way, you
<br>can both search objectively for the truth!
<br>
<br>And if you really are wrong this time, it will be much less embarrassing
<br>for you than if you had been stubbornly insisting that you were totally
<br>right!
<br>
<br>
<br>11. LET YOUR CUSTOMER DO MOST OF THE TALKING.
<br>You like it when people let you do most of the talking. So do the same for
<br>them. It won't hurt you, and you might learn something.
<br>
<br>
<br>12. LET YOUR CUSTOMER TALK ABOUT HIMSELF.
<br>You like to talk about yourself, don't you? We all like to talk about
<br>ourselves! But restrain the urge, and let your customer talk about
<br>himself, instead.
<br>
<br>
<br>13. LET YOUR CUSTOMER TAKE THE CREDIT WHEN GOOD THINGS HAPPEN.
<br>If something has worked out well, don't grab the credit for yourself, even
<br>if you think you deserve it. Give it to your customer. Say, "It couldn't
<br>have happened without you."
<br>
<br>
<br>14. LET YOUR CUSTOMER SAVE FACE.
<br>The expression "saving face" means to maintain dignity, or not to look
<br>like an idiot or a worthless person. Sometimes people do things which make
<br>them look like an idiot or a worthless person. If you can rescue your
<br>customer in such a situation, and help him maintain his dignity, you have
<br>done a very good thing.
<br>
<br>And maybe someone will do the same for you some day, when you need it
<br>most! "As you do, so shall it be done unto you."
<br>
<br>
<br>15. REMEMBER: WHEN YOU ARE WITH A CUSTOMER, YOU ARE THE COMPANY TO HIM.
<br>Your customer's opinion of your company may be based almost entirely on
<br>his experience with you. So make that a good experience, to the best of
<br>your ability.
<br>
<br>
<br>16. HOLD YOURSELF TO HIGH AND NOBLE STANDARDS, AND EXPECT THE SAME FROM
<br>OTHERS IN YOUR COMPANY.
<br>People tend to live up to the expectations others have of them. If you
<br>expect a lot from people, they tend to give what you expect. Likewise, if
<br>you expect little from people, that is what they tend to give.
<br>So act honestly yourself, and expect honesty from your co-workers; act
<br>morally yourself, and expect morality from your co-workers; act fairly
<br>yourself, and expect fairness from your co-workers. Be a good example to
<br>them.
<br>
<br>
<br>17. GO THE EXTRA MILE.
<br>You are pleasantly surprised when other people do more for you than you
<br>had asked or more than you had expected. So do the same for your customer:
<br>"Go the extra mile," to be pleasant and helpful in all respects.
<br>
<br>BLESSINGS TO YOU, AND BEST WISHES FOR YOU IN YOUR CUSTOMER CARE.

<br>Understanding God's Law
<br>
<br>By Rev. Bill McGinnis, Director - Internet Church Of Christ -
<br>LoveAllPeople.org
<br>Search our pages => <a href="http://loveallpeople.org/searchallpages.html">http://loveallpeople.org/searchallpages.html</a>
<br>
<br>The complete Law Of God demands total perfection from us, and it is
<br>impossible for us to fulfill. No mere human has ever fulfilled it, and
<br>none ever will.
<br>
<br>The complete Law Of God is more demanding than even the strict Mosaic Law
<br>the Jews tried to follow. One of the very first things Jesus did in His
<br>ministry was to point out that the Law Of Moses was deficient in six
<br>respects:
<br>
<br>
<br>-------------------------------------------------------
<br>
<br>1. He expanded the prohibition against killing (murder), to include a
<br>general prohibition against anger. (See Exodus 20:13, compared to Matthew
<br>5:21-26.)
<br>
<br>2. He expanded the prohibition against forbidden acts, to include a
<br>general prohibition against desire to commit forbidden acts. The example
<br>He chose to use was the forbidden act of adultery, but the principle
<br>applies to all forbidden acts: wanting to do it is the same as doing it,
<br>under God's Law. (See Exodus 20:14, compared to Matthew 5:27-30). This is
<br>an impossible standard for mere humans to meet: desiring to sin is the
<br>same thing as actually committing the sin! Who is free of sinful desires?
<br>Nobody!
<br>
<br>3. He eliminated easy, non-consensual divorces, in which the husband "put
<br>away" the wife for almost any reason (uncleanness) he wanted. And He
<br>expanded the concept of adultery to include all divorced persons who
<br>remarry. Yes, that's what He said. Read Luke 16:18. We can dance around it
<br>all we like and pretend He said something else. Or we can go through a
<br>phony "annullment" and pretend we weren't really married when we were. But
<br>He said what He said. (See Deuteronomy 24:1, compared to Matthew 5:31-32
<br>and Luke 16:18.)
<br>
<br>4. He expanded the prohibition against false oaths, to include a general
<br>prohibition against all oaths. (See Leviticus 19:12, compared to Matthew
<br>5:33-37.)
<br>
<br>5. He abolished the Law Of Retaliation, which entitled an offended person
<br>to take vengeance on the offender, "Eye for eye, tooth for tooth . . . "
<br>(See Exodus 21-23-25, compared to Matthew 5:38-40.)
<br>
<br>6. He expanded the Law Of Love to include everyone, even enemies. (See
<br>Leviticus 19:18, compared to Matthew 5:43-48.)
<br>
<br>
<br>----------------------------------------------------
<br>
<br>Jesus emphasized the insufficiency of Mosaic law by pointing out that the
<br>Pharisees, who were meticulous keepers of the Law Of Moses, were not
<br>righteous enough for God.
<br>
<br>
<br> "For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the
<br> scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of
<br> heaven." (Matthew 5:20 RSV)
<br>
<br>So what, then, are we to do? If we cannot keep God's Law, how are we ever
<br>going to please Him enough to get into Heaven?
<br>God, in His mercy towards us, has given us The Way to do this: JESUS
<br>CHRIST.
<br>
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>
<br> Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no
<br> one comes to the Father, but by me." (John 14:6 RSV)
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>
<br>
<br>If you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord, you are saved from the penalty of
<br>breaking God's Law, which all of us surely break,
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>
<br> "because, if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and
<br> believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will
<br> be saved." (Romans 10:9 RSV)
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>
<br>
<br>Under the Law, there is no forgiveness of sin without the shedding of
<br>blood, and Jesus shed His blood for us so that we might live. He paid the
<br>penalty of all our sins for us.
<br>
<br> Hebrews 9:22 (RSV)
<br>
<br> "Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with
<br> blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no
<br> forgiveness of sins."
<br>
<br>
<br> 1 John 1:7 (RSV)
<br>
<br> "but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we
<br> have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus
<br> his Son cleanses us from all sin."
<br>
<br> Romans 6:23 (RSV)
<br>
<br> "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is
<br> eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
<br>
<br>
<br>By accepting Jesus Christ as Lord, we have satisfied all the requirements
<br>of God's Law, because Jesus Himself has paid all the penalties for us. We
<br>are then clean and debt-free to God, thanks to Jesus.
<br>From then on, we are bound not by the detailed requirements of God's Law,
<br>which are impossible for us to keep, but by the Law Of Love, which God now
<br>accepts as total fulfillment of His Law. And the Law Of Love is this:
<br>"LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."
<br>
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>
<br> For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, "You shall love your
<br> neighbor as yourself." (Galatians 5:14 RSV)
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>
<br>
<br>And who is your neighbor? Your neighbor is everybody else, all other
<br>people, not just people in your own group. This is the meaning of the
<br>Parable Of The Good Samaritan. (See Luke 10:25-37.)
<br>Are we then free to disregard all of the known details of God's Law? Is it
<br>then permissible for us to murder and rape and steal? Of course not,
<br>because all of these things are inconsistent with loving your neighbor as
<br>yourself. Anything which is inconsistent with love is still opposed to
<br>God's will and is thus still a sin for us.
<br>
<br>But many details of God's Law no longer apply to us, as long as we have
<br>accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and we love our neighbor (everybody
<br>else) as we love ourselves. Jesus paid the price for our past sins; and
<br>love for neighbor is accepted by God as fulfilling all of His law now and
<br>in the future.
<br>
<br>And even if we do sin, God will overlook it as long as we truly love
<br>others as we love ourselves.
<br>
<br>
<br> Romans 13:9 (RSV)
<br> The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not
<br> kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet," and any other
<br> commandment, are summed up in this sentence, "You shall love your
<br> neighbor as yourself."
<br> Romans 13:10 (RSV)
<br> Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling
<br> of the law.
<br> James 2:8 (RSV)
<br> If you really fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture,
<br> "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well.
<br> Proverbs 10:12 (RSV)
<br> Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.
<br> 1 Peter 4:8 (RSV)
<br> Above all hold unfailing your love for one another, since love
<br> covers a multitude of sins.
<br>
<br>Some people might say that these teachings are "soft on sin;" that they
<br>teach people to break God's commandments; that I will surely go to Hell
<br>for teaching these things.
<br>In reply, I will say that the Legalists themselves are guilty of throwing
<br>stumbling blocks in the way of people who might otherwise become perfectly
<br>good Christians. How many people are lost to Christ only because they are
<br>taught (incorrectly) that merely thinking about sex is an unacceptable
<br>sin? or that all sexual activity before marriage is a sin? or that
<br>forbidden sexual desires, such as homosexuality, make them unacceptable to
<br>God? How many people are lost to Christ only because they are taught
<br>(incorrectly) that material possessions are evil? How many people are lost
<br>to Christ only because they are taught (incorrectly) that Christ demands
<br>self-denial and mortification of the flesh at all times? How many people
<br>are lost to Christ only because they are taught (incorrectly) that Satan
<br>is in charge of the world and that all worldly things must be avoided?
<br>
<br>I rest my case on Galatians 5:14 which states it just as clearly as it can
<br>ever be stated:
<br>
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>
<br> For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, "You shall love your
<br> neighbor as yourself." (Galatians 5:14 RSV)
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>
<br>If you don't believe this, you don't believe the Bible.
<br>Belief in Christ pays for all your past sins; then with His Holy Spirit in
<br>you and guiding you, love for neighbor covers all sins in the future.
<br>
<br>You are free in Jesus Christ, our Lord!
<br>
<br>IN SUMMARY:
<br>
<br>"For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this:
<br>Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." - Galatians 5:14 (KJV)
<br>
<br>And who is your neighbor? Everyone is your neighbor!
<br>See => > <a href="http://www.loveallpeople.org/pearl-everyoneisyourneighbor.html">http://www.loveallpeople.org/pearl-everyoneisyourneighbor.html</a>
<br>
<br>So . . . "Love your neighbor as yourself" means "Love all people as
<br>yourself," since everyone is your neighbor.
<br>Therefore, God's One Law for all Mankind must be, "Love All People As
<br>Yourself." Nobody is excluded.
<br>
<br>
<br>May the Lord bless this presentation of His holy Word.

<br>
<br>
<br> Our Father, who art in heaven,
<br> hallowed be thy Name,
<br> thy kingdom come,
<br> thy will be done,
<br> on earth as it is in heaven.
<br> Give us this day our daily bread.
<br> And forgive us our trespasses,
<br> as we forgive those who trespass against us.
<br> And lead us not into temptation,
<br> but deliver us from evil.
<br> For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
<br> for ever and ever. Amen.

<br> I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
<br> Maker of heaven and earth:
<br> And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord;
<br> Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit;
<br> Born of the Virgin Mary,
<br> Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
<br> Was crucified, dead, and buried;
<br> He descended into hell;
<br> The third day he rose again from the dead;
<br> He ascended into heaven
<br> And sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
<br> From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
<br> I believe in the Holy Spirit;
<br> The holy catholic church; *
<br> The communion of saints;
<br> The forgiveness of sins;
<br> The resurrection of the body;
<br> And the life everlasting.
<br>
<br> Amen.
<br>
<br>
<br> * Note: "catholic church" here means the entire body of
<br> believers in Christ, not just one particular church.

<br>A Blessing To You From St. Paul
<br>
<br> EPHESIANS 3:14-21 (KJV)
<br>
<br>
<br> 14
<br> For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord
<br> Jesus Christ,
<br> 15
<br> Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
<br> 16
<br> That he would grant you, according to the riches of his
<br> glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the
<br> inner man;
<br> 17
<br> That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye,
<br> being rooted and grounded in love,
<br> 18
<br> May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the
<br> breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
<br> 19
<br> And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge,
<br> that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
<br> 20
<br> Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above
<br> all that we ask or think, according to the power that
<br> worketh in us,
<br> 21
<br> Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout
<br> all ages, world without end. Amen.
<br>

<br>Prayer For You
<br>A Prayer To Banish Anger From The Earth
<br>NOTE: When you read this prayer, try to imagine hearing my voice as I
<br>speak
<br>it to you. In this way, the prayer is reactivated, and it is the same
<br>as if I were actually praying for you at that moment.
<br>(Just like television prayers are reactivated when you watch
<br>them, although the videotape may have been shot years before.)
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>NOTE: This prayer, today, is written as a collective prayer, for all of us
<br> to pray whenever we are moved to do so. Recently on Family Radio,
<br> I heard a missionary in Peru express his belief that the Lord
<br> restrains Himself from acting in human affairs *unless* we pray
<br> for Him to act. If true, this is a stunning concept, and it would
<br> suggest that we should pray more actively for the Lord to intervene
<br> in human affairs, confident that the Holy Spirit will lead us
<br> to pray in a manner consistent with His will.
<br>
<br>
<br> "A Prayer To Banish Anger From The Earth"
<br>
<br> Perhaps there was a time when man did need
<br> A way to pump adrenalin inside,
<br> To get us ready fast to fight or flee,
<br> From animals or enemies at hand.
<br> And if so, maybe anger had its place.
<br>
<br> But now it seems that anger is a curse,
<br> Which causes far more harm than it does good.
<br> For rarely do we need to flee from lions,
<br> But often are we harmed by angry men.
<br> And so we pray that You will hear us now,
<br> And grant this new request that now we make:
<br> Please banish, Lord, all anger from the earth:
<br> Just dry it up, and make it blow away,
<br> And let it nevermore come back to us.
<br> We know that You can do this if You wish,
<br> And now we pray You make it come to pass.
<br> Forgive us if we seem to ask too much,
<br> But we, Your children, need this help from You.
<br> In Jesus' name we pray for this, Amen.

<br>How To Find A Real, Live Church
<br>An online church is better than no church at all; but it is even better
<br>for most Christians to actually belong to a real, live church, with real,
<br>live people. Then, you can have your real church PLUS your online church,
<br>so you gain the benefits of both. You can find a church for yourself by

<br>Benediction
<br>
<br> I pray the Lord that He will lead your path
<br> Away from the temptations all around.
<br> I pray that when temptation lingers near,
<br> The Lord will lead you not into its reach.
<br> But if temptation grabs you as you pass,
<br> I pray the Lord that you will struggle free.
<br> In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.
<br>
<br>
<br>Blessings to you in Jesus Christ our Lord.

<br>How To Enjoy Other People
<br>
<br>By Rev. Bill McGinnis, Pastor - InternetChurchOfChrist.org
<br>Director - LoveAllPeople.org
<br>
<br>God Wants Us To Love One Another
<br><a href="http://www.internetchurchofchrist.org/wemustloveoneanother.html">http://www.internetchurchofchrist.org/wemustloveoneanother.html</a>
<br>
<br>
<br>Enjoying Other People Is A Big Part of Loving Them
<br>
<br>The common experience of mankind is that if you enjoy someone, it is easy
<br>to love them; but if you do not enjoy them, then it is hard to love them.
<br>So we see that enjoying other people is a big part of loving them.
<br>Therefore, if we want to love other people, it is very helpful -- maybe
<br>necessary -- for us first to be able to enjoy them. So we need to seek and
<br>find enjoyment in other people.
<br>
<br>This is not really very difficult to do, once we start to think about it.
<br>Here's how . . .
<br>
<br>How To Enjoy Other people
<br>Here are four things to do, which will help you enjoy other people . . .
<br>
<br>1. First, set your mind on doing it. Recognize that God wants you to enjoy
<br>other people, not only because He wants you to be able to love them, but
<br>also because He loves you and wants you to have more enjoyment for
<br>yourself! So you have God's complete permission to enjoy other people,
<br>maybe far more than you ever imagined.
<br>
<br>2. For every person you encounter, try to find at least one thing about
<br>them which you enjoy. Examples: beautiful face, sweet smile, pretty eyes,
<br>sweet voice, pleasant mannerisms, graceful movements, nice hair,
<br>intelligence, ability with words, ability to fix things, creative
<br>personality, good personality, comforting presence, generosity, ability to
<br>solve problems, personal leadership skills, good sense of style,
<br>attractive body parts, good attitude with children, helpful personality,
<br>good intentions, nice smell, attractive clothing, good attitude with other
<br>people, sincerity, honesty, etc. If you find more enjoyable things about
<br>them, go ahead and list them in your mind.
<br>
<br>3. For each thing you enjoy about that person (above), please think of a
<br>complete sentence which expresses your thought. For instance, "I enjoy
<br>watching her smile," or "I enjoy the pleasing sound of his voice." Then
<br>say that sentence out loud, to yourself. Or better yet, tell it to someone
<br>else.
<br>
<br>4. If there are things you do not enjoy about that person, do not express
<br>those thoughts in words, because that would make you think about them even
<br>more. But instead, think to yourself one of the following explanations:
<br>
<br>"Maybe they can't help it." or
<br>
<br>"Maybe they have their own good reasons for being that way." or
<br>
<br>"Maybe they don't realize what they are doing."
<br>
<br>In other words, give them a good excuse for whatever it is that you do not
<br>enjoy.
<br>
<br>If you will do these things, you will be well on your way to developing
<br>your love for others, as well as increasing your own personal enjoyment in
<br>your life.

<br>8. - Practical Christian Life: Day-To-Day Living With The Lord
<br>
<br>Exhortation For Today: "Willingly Embrace Whatever God Gives To You"
<br>
<br> Excerpt From "Uniformity With God's Will,"
<br> by St. Alphonsus de Ligouri, 1755
<br> Public Domain
<br> "Willingly Embrace Whatever God Gives To You"
<br>
<br> Let us not lament if we suffer from some natural defect of body or
<br> mind; from poor memory, slowness of understanding, little ability,
<br> lameness or general bad health. What claim have we, or what obligation
<br> is God under, to give us a more brilliant mind or a more robust body?
<br> Who is ever offered a gift and then lays down the conditions upon
<br> which he will accept it? Let us thank God for what, in his pure
<br> goodness, he has given us and let us be content too with the manner in
<br> which he has given it to us.
<br>
<br> Who knows? Perhaps if God had given us greater talent, better health,
<br> a more personable appearance, we might have lost our souls! Great
<br> talent and knowledge have caused many to be puffed up with the idea of
<br> their own importance and, in their pride, they have despised others.
<br> How easily those who have these gifts fall into grave danger to their
<br> salvation! How many on account of physical beauty or robust health
<br> have plunged headlong into a life of debauchery! How many, on the
<br> contrary, who, by reason of poverty, infirmity or physical deformity,
<br> have become saints and have saved their souls, who, given health,
<br> wealth or physical attractiveness had else lost their souls! Let us
<br> then be content with what God has given us. "But one thing is
<br> necessary," and it is not beauty, not health, not talent. It is the
<br> salvation of our immortal souls.
<br>
<br> It is especially necessary that we be resigned in corporal
<br> infirmities. We should willingly embrace them in the manner and for
<br> the length of time that God wills. We ought to make use of the
<br> ordinary remedies in time of sickness -- such is God's will; but if
<br> they are not effective, let us unite ourselves to God's will and this
<br> will be better for us than would be our restoration to health. Let us
<br> say: "Lord, I wish neither to be well nor to remain sick; I want only
<br> what thou wilt." Certainly, it is more virtuous not to repine in times
<br> of painful illness; still and all, when our sufferings are excessive,
<br> it is not wrong to let our friends know what we are enduring, and also
<br> to ask God to free us from our sufferings. Let it be understood,
<br> however, that the sufferings here referred to are actually excessive.
<br> It often happens that some, on the occasion of a slight illness, or
<br> even a slight indisposition, want the whole world to stand still and
<br> sympathize with them in their illnesses.
<br>
<br> But where it is a case of real suffering, we have the example of our
<br> Lord, who, at the approach of his bitter passion, made known his state
<br> of soul to his disciples, saying: "My soul is sorrowful even unto
<br> death" and besought his eternal Father to deliver him from it:
<br> "Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me." But our
<br> Lord likewise taught us what we should do when we have made such a
<br> petition, when he added: "Nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou
<br> wilt."

<br>WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS - by Joseph M. Scriven, 1855
<br> - Public Domain
<br>
<br> What a friend we have in Jesus,
<br> All our sins and griefs to bear;
<br> What a privilege to carry
<br> Ev'rything to God in prayer!
<br>
<br> O what peace we often forfeit,
<br> O what needless pain we bear.
<br> Just because we do not carry
<br> Ev'rything to God in prayer.
<br>
<br> Have we trials and temptations?
<br> Is there trouble anywhere?
<br> We should never be discouraged;
<br> Take it to the Lord in prayer.
<br>
<br> Can we find a friend so faithful,
<br> Who will all our sorrows share?
<br> Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness;
<br> Take it to the Lord in prayer.
<br>
<br> Are we weak and heavy-laden,
<br> Cumbered with a load of care?
<br> Precious Saviour, still our refuge;
<br> Take it to the Lord in prayer.
<br>
<br> Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
<br> Take it to the Lord in prayer;
<br> In His arms He'll take and shield thee,
<br> Thou wilt find a solace there.
<br>
<br> Amen.

<br>FIRST: YOU HAVE GOD'S AUTHORIZATION TO LOVE EVERYBODY!
<br>Men, women, children, saints, sinners, rich, poor,
<br>black-white-yellow-green, old, young, beautiful, ugly, friends, enemies:
<br>you have God's permission to love EVERYBODY in the entire world.
<br>You don't need to be shy. You are authorized by God to love all people,
<br>whomever they may be.
<br>
<br>
<br> "For all the law is fulfilled in one word,
<br> even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour
<br> as thyself." (Galatians 5:14 KJV)
<br>
<br> "This is my commandment, That ye love one another,
<br> as I have loved you." (John 15:12 KJV)
<br>
<br>
<br>And the Bible says that EVERYONE IS YOUR NEIGHBOR!

<br>The Lord wants us to love others as we love ourselves and as He has loved
<br>us. But how exactly do we do this?
<br>
<br>The basic way is this: "TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED."
<br>This this is the Golden Rule, God's guideline for all mankind.
<br><a href="http://www.loveallpeople.org/golden.html">http://www.loveallpeople.org/golden.html</a>
<br>
<br>Our love begins within our heart, from the Holy Spirit within us. Then it
<br>flows outward, towards others. But sometimes we have difficulty knowing
<br>how to express this love and give it to others.
<br>
<br>This ministry provides practical techniques and methods for giving your
<br>love to other people.

<br>INTRODUCTION - First thoughts from 1998
<br>
<br>
<br> "I hope this little book leads you to experience the total
<br> joy that comes only through loving other people."
<br>
<br>=> Introduction - <a href="http://www.loveallpeople.org/loveintro.html">http://www.loveallpeople.org/loveintro.html</a>
<br>
<br>THE SCRIPTURAL MANDATE TO LOVE OTHER PEOPLE
<br>"Love All People As Yourself."
<br>The Bible states it very clearly, so there can be no possible
<br>misunderstanding: the Law Of Love fulfills the whole Law of God.
<br>
<br>
<br> THE LAW OF LOVE
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>
<br> For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, "You shall love your
<br> neighbor as yourself." (Galatians 5:14 RSV)
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>
<br>And who is your neighbor? Everyone is your neighbor. This is shown in the
<br>Parable Of The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37, shown below). Therefore,
<br>"Love your neighbor as yourself" really means "Love all people as
<br>yourself," because everyone is our neighbor.
<br>But what about love for God? Doesn't that come first? Yes, but God counts
<br>our love for others as if it were love for Himself. So when we love
<br>others, we are loving Him at the same time. This is shown in the Parable
<br>Of The Sheep And The Goats (Matthew 25:31-46, in the Appendix below). And
<br>we cannot claim to love God until we first love our fellow man.
<br>
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br> If any one says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a
<br> liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen,
<br> cannot love God whom he has not seen. (1 John 4:20 RSV)
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>But what about The Ten Commandments? Aren't we supposed to obey them? Yes,
<br>but The Ten Commandments are only an approximation of what God wants from
<br>us. The Pharisees obeyed all of the Ten Commandments, yet God was very
<br>displeased with them because they did not have love. The exact thing God
<br>wants from us is that we should love our neighbor as we love ourselves.
<br>Everything else depends on this.
<br>
<br>But what about holiness? Aren't we supposed to avoid improper sex, etc.
<br>and be pure and chaste? Aren't we supposed to deny our physical selves in
<br>order to strengthen our spiritual selves? Maybe so, but our feeble
<br>attempts at being holy do not even come close to God's high standards. To
<br>Him, they are like filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6). But if we have love for
<br>others, God will overlook a multitude of our sins (1 Peter 4:8). And if we
<br>forgive others of their offenses against us, He will forgive us of our
<br>offenses against Him (Matthew 5:14-15). Love makes everything holy, since
<br>God is love (1 John 4:8, 4:16).
<br>
<br>So all of God's requirements for mankind boil down to this one command:
<br>"YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." If you truly do this one thing
<br>only, it is enough. It then doesn't matter if you fall short on some of
<br>the dozens of others. But if you do not do this, all of the others
<br>together are not enough. This is the big one, more important than all the
<br>others combined.
<br>
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>
<br> If you really fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture,
<br> "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well.
<br> (James 2:8 RSV)

<br>TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED
<br>The best way to express your love for other people is to always follow The
<br>Golden Rule, "Treat Others As You Would Like To Be Treated."
<br><a href="http://www.loveallpeople.org/golden.html">http://www.loveallpeople.org/golden.html</a>
<br>THERE IS ONE UNDERLYING RULE FOR RIGHT AND WRONG BEHAVIOR:
<br>
<br>"TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED."
<br>This rule is known as "The Golden Rule." Some version of it is found in
<br>most religions, yet it establishes no particular religion; it leads to
<br>harmony among all people; it is the foundation of Democracy; and it leads
<br>to the political goal of "Greatest Good For The Greatest Number, With
<br>Basic Rights For All."
<br>
<br>To apply the Golden Rule, simply ask yourself "How would you like to be
<br>treated in the same situation?" Then treat the other person that way. TWO
<br>NOTES:(1) When we say, "Treat others as you would like to be treated,"
<br>this includes all other people, not merely those who happen to be with us
<br>at the moment. So we must also consider the impact of our actions on all
<br>other people, not only those immediately before us. (2) When we say "in
<br>the same situation," this means that our roles and personalities must be
<br>mentally reversed, so that we see the situation from the other person's
<br>point of view, trying to understand his needs and desires as if they were
<br>our own. Also, we need to apply the "Rational Man" standard,
<br>long-established in Law. The Golden Rule does not require us to grant
<br>irrational requests made by insane persons.

<br>situation, please visit

<br>LEARN HOW TO ENJOY OTHER PEOPLE
<br>The common experience of mankind is that if you enjoy someone, it is easy
<br>to love them; but if you do not enjoy them, then it is hard to love them.
<br>So we see that enjoying other people is a big part of loving them.
<br>It is difficult to love other people if we do not enjoy them.

<br>=> How To Enjoy Other People -
<br><a href="http://www.internetchurchofchrist.org/howtoenjoyotherpeople.html">http://www.internetchurchofchrist.org/howtoenjoyotherpeople.html</a>
<br>How To Enjoy Other people
<br>Here are four things to do, which will help you enjoy other people . . .
<br>1. First, set your mind on doing it. Recognize that God wants you to enjoy
<br>other people, not only because He wants you to be able to love them, but
<br>also because He loves you and wants you to have more enjoyment for
<br>yourself! So you have God's complete permission to enjoy other people,
<br>maybe far more than you ever imagined.
<br>
<br>2. For every person you encounter, try to find at least one thing about
<br>them which you enjoy. Examples: beautiful face, sweet smile, pretty eyes,
<br>sweet voice, pleasant mannerisms, graceful movements, nice hair,
<br>intelligence, ability with words, ability to fix things, creative
<br>personality, good personality, comforting presence, generosity, ability to
<br>solve problems, personal leadership skills, good sense of style,
<br>attractive body parts, good attitude with children, helpful personality,
<br>good intentions, nice smell, attractive clothing, good attitude with other
<br>people, sincerity, honesty, etc. If you find more enjoyable things about
<br>them, go ahead and list them in your mind.
<br>
<br>3. For each thing you enjoy about that person (above), please think of a
<br>complete sentence which expresses your thought. For instance, "I enjoy
<br>watching her smile," or "I enjoy the pleasing sound of his voice." Then
<br>say that sentence out loud, to yourself. Or better yet, tell it to someone
<br>else.
<br>
<br>4. If there are things you do not enjoy about that person, do not express
<br>those thoughts in words, because that would make you think about them even
<br>more. But instead, think to yourself one of the following explanations:
<br>
<br>"Maybe they can't help it." or
<br>"Maybe they have their own good reasons for being that way." or
<br>
<br>"Maybe they don't realize what they are doing."
<br>
<br>In other words, give them a good excuse for whatever it is that you do not
<br>enjoy.
<br>If you will do these things, you will be well on your way to developing
<br>your love for others, as well as increasing your own personal enjoyment in
<br>your life.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TOLERANCE AND APPROVAL
<br>In our culture today, there are certain controversial actions which we may
<br>be able to tolerate but may never fully approve of. Among these
<br>controversial actions are: unrestricted sex among consenting adults,
<br>including homosexual acts, adultery, and prostitution; abortion; same-sex
<br>civil unions and/or marriage; and rights to die, including suicide and
<br>mercy killing.
<br>Without going into the merits of these issues at this time, we can
<br>nevertheless recognize the important differences between Tolerance and
<br>Approval.
<br>
<br>"Tolerance" is allowing something to exist without actively opposing it,
<br>even though we do not like it very much and we do not think it is a good
<br>thing. "Approval" is helping something to exist because we do like it and
<br>we do think it is a good thing.
<br>
<br>Thus it is easier for us to tolerate something than it is to approve of
<br>it. (Please see our conceptual model for this idea at
<br><a href="http://www.loveallpeople.org/tolerancevsapproval.html">http://www.loveallpeople.org/tolerancevsapproval.html</a>)
<br>
<br>Here are two easy examples from everyday life, which illustrate the
<br>difference between Tolerance and Approval.
<br>
<br>We tolerate babies crying in public, because it is in their nature to cry
<br>sometimes, and what can we really do to stop it? But we do not approve of
<br>babies crying in public. Their mothers should try to keep them as quiet as
<br>possible, so as not to annoy other people and not to interfere with other
<br>people's rights of "quiet enjoyment."
<br>Traffic police frequently tolerate driving speeds of five or ten miles per
<br>hour above the posted limits on major highways. They cannot actually
<br>approve of driving faster than the speed limits, because they are required
<br>to enforce the law, and the law sets the speed limits. But they can simply
<br>not enforce the minor infractions.
<br>
<br>To love other people, we must sometimes tolerate some of their behaviors
<br>which we cannot approve of.
<br>In these cases, it it may be helpful to give them the benefit of these
<br>three time-tested excuses . . .
<br>
<br>"Maybe they can't help it." or
<br>"Maybe they have their own good reasons for being that way." or
<br>
<br>"Maybe they don't realize what they are doing."
<br>
<br>In other words, give them a good excuse for doing whatever it is that you
<br>do not approve of, but need to tolerate.
<br>If you will do these things, you will be well on your way to developing
<br>your love for others, as well as increasing your own personal enjoyment in
<br>your life.

<br>INCREASE YOUR LOVE FOR OTHERS BY DOING GOOD TO THEM
<br>It is a happy fact of human nature, that we increase our love for others
<br>by doing good to them. The more good we do to other people, the more our
<br>love for them increases. Try it for yourself, and you will see.
<br>IF WE LOVE, WE MUST FORGIVE
<br>If we love them, we must forgive them. Just as God loves us and has
<br>forgiven us, we must also forgive them. If we will not forgive others, God
<br>will not forgive us! Simple as that. People who claim to be Christians but
<br>who will not forgive are merely deceiving themselves.
<br>
<br>A METHOD OF GRANTING FORGIVENESS
<br>
<br>But you may say, "I know I should forgive them, but it is very hard to do.
<br>How can I do it? What should I do?"
<br>
<br>Here is a good way to go about granting your forgiveness to others.
<br>
<br>First, let me pray for you, to help you grant your forgiveness.
<br>
<br> "As You Forgive, So Shall You Be Forgiven"
<br>
<br> I pray that you will learn this teaching well,
<br> I pray that you engrave it on your heart.
<br> The Lord has spoken clearly as can be:
<br> "As you forgive, so shall you be forgiven."
<br> * * *
<br> So if someone has done you wrong, forgive!
<br> And if somebody steals from you, forgive!
<br> And if they lie and laugh at you, forgive!
<br> And if they beat you half to death, forgive!
<br> * * *
<br> So when the day of judgment comes for you,
<br> And He reviews the life that you have led,
<br> I pray the record shows that you forgave,
<br> So He can say, "I likewise do forgive."
<br> * *
<br> In Jesus' name I pray for you, Amen.
<br>
<br> by Rev.Bill McGinnis, Public Domain
<br>Next, you make a list of everyone you can think of who has ever done you
<br>wrong or aroused anger in you. Call this your "Forgiveness List." On this
<br>list, write down the name of each offender, and a brief description of the
<br>thing(s) he did bad to you.
<br>Then, say this prayer, asking the Lord to help you.
<br>
<br> THIS PRAYER IS FOR YOU, YOURSELF, TO PRAY
<br> "To Grant Your Forgiveness"
<br>
<br> NOTE: This is a prayer for you to grant your forgiveness
<br> to everyone who has hurt you or has aroused the emotion of
<br> anger in you. You need to make a list of these people,
<br> complete to the best of your ability. If you don't know a
<br> particular name, you may merely describe the situation, like
<br> "The man who ran my car off the road last year, then drove
<br> away." As you are praying, you refer to this "forgiveness
<br> list." You may repeat this prayer whenever you need to.
<br> As a Christian, you never want to hold a grudge against
<br> anyone very long.
<br>
<br> * * *
<br>
<br> O Lord, I raise my humble prayer to you,
<br> That you might soothe my soul and grant me peace,
<br> For I have burned in anger, raged in wrath.
<br> I have a list where I have written down
<br> The names of those I want now to forgive.
<br>
<br> So Lord, I now declare that I forgive
<br> The people who are listed here today.
<br> For every wrong that they have done to me,
<br> I do forgive and blot out of my heart.
<br> For any anger they aroused in me,
<br> I do forgive them, each and every one.
<br> And any others, not upon this list,
<br> I also do forgive them, every one.
<br> I do sincerely promise this to you.
<br>
<br> And as I now forgive those listed here,
<br> I pray that you will likewise grant to me,
<br> Complete forgiveness for my many sins.
<br> In Jesus' name I pray to you, Amen.
<br>
<br>
<br> by Bill McGinnis, Public Domain
<br>
<br>Finally, go down the list of people, one-by-one. Deliberately forgive each
<br>person, saying, "In the name of Jesus, I forgive you." Then write beside
<br>each name the words, "I forgive you," and scratch out the name and the
<br>offense(s).
<br>If necessary in the future, make additional forgiveness lists, and repeat
<br>this procedure.

<br>JESUS ENABLES US TO LOVE OTHERS AS OURSELF
<br>By our own flawed human nature, it is almost impossible to love others as
<br>we love ourself. Maybe some few people can do it, but most people cannot
<br>even come close. But when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord, His Holy
<br>Spirit enters us and dwells within us, transforming our flawed nature into
<br>a more perfect nature, more like His own.

<br>HOW TO LOVE STRANGERS
<br>It is easy to love those who already know you and love you. So here is the
<br>way to love strangers.
<br>First, Give Them What They Ask For - unless you have a good reason not to
<br>do so.
<br>Next, Give Them What They Really Want - as best you can determine it.
<br>
<br>Finally, Give Them What They Clearly Need - but do not assume too much.
<br>
<br>Always Follow The Law Of Love And The Golden Rule ("Love your neighbor as
<br>yourself," and "Treat others as you would like to be treated."

<br>The Gift Of Your Blessing -
<br>"How To Give Your Blessings To Other People"
<br><a href="http://www.internetchurchofchrist.org/giveyourblessings.html">http://www.internetchurchofchrist.org/giveyourblessings.html</a>
<br>
<br>
<br>When we pray for someone, the conversation is between us and the Lord.
<br>When we give our blessings, however, the conversation is between us and
<br>the other person directly, with the Lord listening in, observing.
<br>
<br>A blessing is the opposite of a curse. As Christians, we almost never want
<br>to curse anybody for anything. In contrast, we should dispense our
<br>blessings freely, whenever the Spirit leads us to do so.
<br>
<br>There are two proven formats for giving a blessing to other people. You
<br>can give it directly to them, using the word "May," followed by whatever
<br>good things you want them to receive. Or you can invoke the Lord's help,
<br>using the words "May the Lord," followed by whatever good things you want
<br>Him to give them. Here are examples . . .
<br>
<br>Examples Of Direct Blessings
<br>"May you have a safe trip home, with no difficulties of any kind."
<br>"May your days be filled with joy."
<br>
<br>"May your pain subside and your illness go away."
<br>
<br>"May you get the job you are trying to obtain."
<br>
<br>"May your grief pass by like a cloud, and may peace return to your heart."
<br>
<br>"May your heart be filled with joy at this moment of happiness for you."
<br>
<br>Examples Of Blessings Which Invoke The Lord's Help
<br>"May the Lord richly bless you as you continue your work in His behalf."
<br>"May the Lord give you a safe trip home, with no problems of any kind."
<br>
<br>"May the Lord wipe away your tears and give you peace of mind."
<br>
<br>"May the Lord bring love and harmony into your home."
<br>
<br>
<br> * * *
<br>So don't be shy. Just go ahead and start blessing people, as the Spirit
<br>leads. When Holy Spirit prompts you to give a blessing, do it! Just walk
<br>right up to the other person, maybe shake their hand or touch them, look
<br>them in the eye, and pronounce your blessing on them.
<br>They will recognize immediatly that this is a major expression of love,
<br>and they will *always* appreciate it.
<br>
<br>Be sure to give Christ the glory by identifying yourself as a Christian.
<br>The Lord *loves* to use imperfect vessels for His work, so don't feel
<br>unworthy if you are less than a "perfect" Christian. You are *always*
<br>authorized to dispense love to other people: ALWAYS!

<br>PRAY FOR PEOPLE, EVEN THOSE WHO MAY HATE YOU AND WISH YOU HARM
<br>"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good
<br>to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and
<br>persecute you;" - Jesus speaking, Matthew 5:44
<br>Here's an example you can follow (from 1998). Clearly the USA did not
<br>follow this example.

<br>=> Giving Poems And Prayers - <a href="http://www.loveallpeople.org/sendapoem.html">http://www.loveallpeople.org/sendapoem.html</a>
<br>
<br>As Christians, we are called to share and participate in the happiness and
<br>the sadness of others.
<br>
<br> "Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep
<br> with them that weep." (Romans 12:15 KJV)
<br>
<br>One very good way to do this is to find suitable poems and prayers, then
<br>give them to the other person.
<br>
<br>It would actually be a good idea for every Christian to start a collection
<br>of poems and prayers to use in such occasions. (Maybe even write some
<br>yourself, if He leads you to do this.)
<br>
<br>I maintain Public Domain collections of poems and prayers which you are
<br>free to use. The poems are kept at
<br><a href="http://patriot.net/users/bmcgin/poems.html">http://patriot.net/users/bmcgin/poems.html</a>, and the prayers are kept at

<br>PLEASE DISREGARD ANY COPYRIGHT NOTICES YOU FIND AT THESE LOCATIONS. ALL OF

<br>
<br>Here is a good example of a prayer/poem to send to someone who is unhappy:
<br>
<br>
<br> "When All Seems Bleak And Dreary"
<br>
<br> When all seems bleak and dreary in your life;
<br> When every step is weighted down with care;
<br> When each new day seems like the day before it;
<br> I pray the Lord will brighten up your sky.
<br>
<br> I pray He sends a robin to your birdbath;
<br> I pray He brings a package to your door;
<br> I pray you get a phone call from a loved one;
<br> I pray the Lord, Himself, will sing to you.

<br>
<br> "But if any one has the world's goods and sees his brother in need,
<br> yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in
<br> him?" (1 John 3:17 RSV)
<br>
<br> "Every one to whom much is given, of him will much be required;"
<br> (Luke 12:48b RSV)
<br> ---------------------------------------------------------------
<br> MATTHEW 25:31-46 (RSV)
<br> The Sheep And The Goats
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br> 31
<br> "When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the
<br> angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.
<br> 32
<br> Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will
<br> separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the
<br> sheep from the goats,
<br> 33
<br> and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the
<br> goats at the left.
<br> 34
<br> Then the King will say to those at his right hand, 'Come,
<br> O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for
<br> you from the foundation of the world;
<br> 35
<br> for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and
<br> you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,
<br> 36
<br> I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited
<br> me, I was in prison and you came to me.'
<br> 37
<br> Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see
<br> thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink?
<br> 38
<br> And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or
<br> naked and clothe thee?
<br> 39
<br> And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit
<br> thee?'
<br> 40
<br> And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as
<br> you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you
<br> did it to me.'
<br> 41
<br> Then he will say to those at his left hand, 'Depart from
<br> me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the
<br> devil and his angels;
<br> 42
<br> for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty
<br> and you gave me no drink,
<br> 43
<br> I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you
<br> did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not
<br> visit me.'
<br> 44
<br> Then they also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see thee
<br> hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in
<br> prison, and did not minister to thee?'
<br> 45
<br> Then he will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did
<br> it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to
<br> me.'
<br> 46
<br> And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the
<br> righteous into eternal life."
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>
<br>"Yes," some people might say. "But doesn't Jesus say that the poor shall
<br>always be with us? Doesn't this mean that there is really nothing we are
<br>required to do
<br>
<br>about the poor people?"
<br>"No," I reply. "You misunderstand the meaning of those words. Jesus is
<br>telling the women that He will not be with them very much longer, so
<br>therefore they should
<br>
<br>give their full attention to Him now, while He is at their house with
<br>them. They can help the poor people anytime after that."

<br>Holding Fair Elections
<br>A Commentary On Representative Democracy
<br>A person can grant his "power of attorney" to another person so that the
<br>second person can act in behalf of the first. The power of attorney may be
<br>unlimited or it
<br>
<br>may be limited to certain matters. For instance, a few years ago, I
<br>granted my limited power of attorney to a friend so that he could act in
<br>my behalf in all
<br>
<br>matters pertaining to the ownership and operation of a taxicab I owned.
<br>See our "Limited Power Of Attorney" form here =>
<br><a href="http://www.loveallpeople.org/limitedpowerofattorney.html">http://www.loveallpeople.org/limitedpowerofattorney.html</a>
<br>
<br>Representative Democracy operates just like power of attorney. When we
<br>elect a representative to a legislative body, we are in effect granting a
<br>limited power of
<br>
<br>attorney to the elected representative to act in our behalf in all matters
<br>pertaining to the legislative body. To me, this is the best way to
<br>understand the idea of
<br>
<br>"representative Democracy." There is nothing mystical or etherial about
<br>it: we are simply granting our power of attorney to the elected
<br>representative.

<br>WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS - by Joseph M. Scriven, 1855
<br> - Public Domain
<br>
<br> What a friend we have in Jesus,
<br> All our sins and griefs to bear;
<br> What a privilege to carry
<br> Ev'rything to God in prayer!
<br>
<br> O what peace we often forfeit,
<br> O what needless pain we bear.
<br> Just because we do not carry
<br> Ev'rything to God in prayer.
<br>
<br> Have we trials and temptations?
<br> Is there trouble anywhere?
<br> We should never be discouraged;
<br> Take it to the Lord in prayer.
<br>
<br> Can we find a friend so faithful,
<br> Who will all our sorrows share?
<br> Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness;
<br> Take it to the Lord in prayer.
<br>
<br> Are we weak and heavy-laden,
<br> Cumbered with a load of care?
<br> Precious Saviour, still our refuge;
<br> Take it to the Lord in prayer.
<br>
<br> Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
<br> Take it to the Lord in prayer;
<br> In His arms He'll take and shield thee,
<br> Thou wilt find a solace there.
<br>
<br> Amen.

<br>
<br> LUKE 15:11-32 (King James Bible Clarified New Testament)
<br>
<br>
<br> The Prodigal Son
<br>
<br> 15:11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
<br>
<br> 15:12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the
<br> portion of goods that falls to me. And he divided unto them his
<br> living.
<br>
<br> 15:13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together,
<br> and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his
<br> substance with riotous living.
<br>
<br> 15:14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that
<br> land; and he began to be in want.
<br>
<br> 15:15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and
<br> he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
<br>
<br> 15:16 And he would gladly have filled his belly with the husks that
<br> the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
<br>
<br> 15:17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of
<br> my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
<br>
<br> 15:18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father,
<br> I have sinned against heaven, and before you,
<br>
<br> 15:19 And am no more worthy to be called your son: make me as one of
<br> your hired servants.
<br>
<br> 15:20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a
<br> great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and
<br> fell on his neck, and kissed him.
<br>
<br> 15:21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven,
<br> and in your sight, and am no more worthy to be called your son.
<br>
<br> 15:22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe,
<br> and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
<br>
<br> 15:23 And bring to here the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat,
<br> and be merry:
<br>
<br> 15:24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and
<br> is found. And they began to be merry.
<br>
<br> 15:25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew
<br> close to the house, he heard music and dancing.
<br>
<br> 15:26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things
<br> meant.
<br>
<br> 15:27 And he said unto him, Your brother is come; and your father has
<br> killed the fatted calf, because he has received him safe and sound.
<br>
<br> 15:28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father
<br> out, and entreated him.
<br>
<br> 15:29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I
<br> serve you, neither transgressed I at any time your commandment: and
<br> yet you never gave me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
<br>
<br> 15:30 But as soon as this your son was come, which has devoured your
<br> living with harlots, you have killed for him the fatted calf.
<br>
<br> 15:31 And he said unto him, Son, you are ever with me, and all that I
<br> have is yours.
<br>
<br> 15:32 It was suitable that we should make merry, and be glad: for this
<br> your brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

<br>10. - Christian Civics: "Seeking The Greatest Good For The Greatest

<br>Holding Fair Elections
<br>A Commentary On Representative Democracy
<br>A person can grant his "power of attorney" to another person so that the
<br>second person can act in behalf of the first. The power of attorney may be
<br>unlimited or it may be limited to certain matters. For instance, a few
<br>years ago, I granted my limited power of attorney to a friend so that he
<br>could act in my behalf in all matters pertaining to the ownership and
<br>operation of a taxicab I owned.
<br>See our "Limited Power Of Attorney" form here =>
<br><a href="http://www.loveallpeople.org/limitedpowerofattorney.html">http://www.loveallpeople.org/limitedpowerofattorney.html</a>
<br>
<br>Representative Democracy operates just like power of attorney. When we
<br>elect a representative to a legislative body, we are in effect granting a
<br>limited power of attorney to the elected representative to act in our
<br>behalf in all matters pertaining to the legislative body. To me, this is
<br>the best way to understand the idea of "representative Democracy." There
<br>is nothing mystical or etherial about it: we are simply granting our power
<br>of attorney to the elected representative.

<br>WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS - by Joseph M. Scriven, 1855
<br> - Public Domain
<br>
<br> What a friend we have in Jesus,
<br> All our sins and griefs to bear;
<br> What a privilege to carry
<br> Ev'rything to God in prayer!
<br>
<br> O what peace we often forfeit,
<br> O what needless pain we bear.
<br> Just because we do not carry
<br> Ev'rything to God in prayer.
<br>
<br> Have we trials and temptations?
<br> Is there trouble anywhere?
<br> We should never be discouraged;
<br> Take it to the Lord in prayer.
<br>
<br> Can we find a friend so faithful,
<br> Who will all our sorrows share?
<br> Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness;
<br> Take it to the Lord in prayer.
<br>
<br> Are we weak and heavy-laden,
<br> Cumbered with a load of care?
<br> Precious Saviour, still our refuge;
<br> Take it to the Lord in prayer.
<br>

<br>"The Importance Of Agreement In Practical Christian Life"
<br>
<br>If people agree on something, they can work together in harmony. But if
<br>they do not agree, the result is dissention and confusion.
<br>As a matter of practical Christian life, it is good policy for people to
<br>establish clear agreements on all matters of importance among themselves.
<br>In many cases, it
<br>
<br>is desirable to have written statements of agreement, in order to avoid
<br>misunderstanding and dissention. As they say, "Get it in writing, avoid
<br>misunderstanding."
<br>
<br>In order to help people develop agreements among themselves, I have
<br>written several free legal forms which can cover many common situations
<br>where people might need
<br>
<br>to have written statements of agreement. One of the forms, the
<br>"All-Purpose Agreement Form," is located at
<br><a href="http://www.loveallpeople.org/allpurposeagreementform.html">http://www.loveallpeople.org/allpurposeagreementform.html</a>
<br>
<br>. All of these forms are located at
<br><a href="http://www.loveallpeople.org/freelegalforms.html">http://www.loveallpeople.org/freelegalforms.html</a> . I have placed them in
<br>the Public Domain, so that everyone can copy and use
<br>
<br>them freely, without restriction.

<br>"Getting Through The Storms Of Life" - FAQ
<br>The Storms Of Life are the various troubles and problems which happen to
<br>us during our lives. They may include sickness, injury, war, birth
<br>defects, problems with
<br>
<br>our parents, problems with our children, problems on the job,
<br>unemployment, poverty, problems with demons and other unclean spirits,
<br>problems with money, bad
<br>
<br>habits, addictions, chronic pain, problems with the law, problems with our
<br>neighbors, problems in our intimate relationships, problems with food,
<br>problems with
<br>
<br>weight, and many others. But they all have one common characteristic: they
<br>are bad situations which we do not want to be in.

<br>CAST YOUR CARES ON JESUS - Be Anxious For Nothing
<br>Jesus is our Lord and our Saviour. We have given ourselves to Him, so we
<br>now belong to Him. He has been given all power in Heaven and Earth, so we

<br>boundaries when we feel we have to figure everything out for ourselves.

<br>HOW TO LOVE OTHER PEOPLE
<br>Practical Methods For Increasing And Expressing Your Love For Others
<br>Details at => <a href="http://www.loveallpeople.org/howtoloveotherpeople.html">http://www.loveallpeople.org/howtoloveotherpeople.html</a>
<br>
<br> Some of the main ideas . . .
<br>
<br>FIRST: YOU HAVE GOD'S AUTHORIZATION TO LOVE EVERYBODY!
<br>
<br>
<br>And the Bible says that EVERYONE IS YOUR NEIGHBOR!
<br><a href="http://www.loveallpeople.org/pearl-everyoneisyourneighbor.html">http://www.loveallpeople.org/pearl-everyoneisyourneighbor.html</a>
<br>The Lord wants us to love others as we love ourselves and as He has loved
<br>us. But how exactly do we do this?
<br>
<br>The basic way is this: "TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED."
<br>This this is the Golden Rule, God's guideline for all mankind.

<br>
<br>THE SCRIPTURAL MANDATE TO LOVE OTHER PEOPLE
<br>"Love All People As Yourself."
<br>The Bible states it very clearly, so there can be no possible
<br>misunderstanding: the Law Of Love fulfills the whole Law of God.
<br>
<br>
<br> THE LAW OF LOVE
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>
<br> For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, "You shall love your
<br> neighbor as yourself." (Galatians 5:14 RSV)
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>
<br>And who is your neighbor? Everyone is your neighbor. This is shown in the
<br>Parable Of The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37, shown below). Therefore,
<br>"Love your neighbor as yourself" really means "Love all people as
<br>yourself," because everyone is our neighbor.
<br>But what about love for God? Doesn't that come first? Yes, but God counts
<br>our love for others as if it were love for Himself. So when we love
<br>others, we are loving Him at the same time. This is shown in the Parable
<br>Of The Sheep And The Goats (Matthew 25:31-46, in the Appendix below). And
<br>we cannot claim to love God until we first love our fellow man.
<br>
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br> If any one says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a
<br> liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen,
<br> cannot love God whom he has not seen. (1 John 4:20 RSV)
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>But what about The Ten Commandments? Aren't we supposed to obey them? Yes,
<br>but The Ten Commandments are only an approximation of what God wants from
<br>us. The Pharisees obeyed all of the Ten Commandments, yet God was very
<br>displeased with them because they did not have love. The exact thing God
<br>wants from us is that we should love our neighbor as we love ourselves.
<br>Everything else depends on this.
<br>
<br>But what about holiness? Aren't we supposed to avoid improper sex, etc.
<br>and be pure and chaste? Aren't we supposed to deny our physical selves in
<br>order to strengthen our spiritual selves? Maybe so, but our feeble
<br>attempts at being holy do not even come close to God's high standards. To
<br>Him, they are like filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6). But if we have love for
<br>others, God will overlook a multitude of our sins (1 Peter 4:8). And if we
<br>forgive others of their offenses against us, He will forgive us of our
<br>offenses against Him (Matthew 5:14-15). Love makes everything holy, since
<br>God is love (1 John 4:8, 4:16).
<br>
<br>So all of God's requirements for mankind boil down to this one command:
<br>"YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." If you truly do this one thing
<br>only, it is enough. It then doesn't matter if you fall short on some of
<br>the dozens of others. But if you do not do this, all of the others
<br>together are not enough. This is the big one, more important than all the
<br>others combined.
<br>
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>
<br> If you really fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture,
<br> "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well.
<br> (James 2:8 RSV)

<br>
<br>TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED
<br>The best way to express your love for other people is to always follow The
<br>Golden Rule, "Treat Others As You Would Like To Be Treated."
<br><a href="http://www.loveallpeople.org/golden.html">http://www.loveallpeople.org/golden.html</a>
<br>THERE IS ONE UNDERLYING RULE FOR RIGHT AND WRONG BEHAVIOR:
<br>
<br>"TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED."
<br>This rule is known as "The Golden Rule." Some version of it is found in
<br>most religions, yet it establishes no particular religion; it leads to
<br>harmony among all people; it is the foundation of Democracy; and it leads
<br>to the political goal of "Greatest Good For The Greatest Number, With
<br>Basic Rights For All."
<br>
<br>To apply the Golden Rule, simply ask yourself "How would you like to be
<br>treated in the same situation?" Then treat the other person that way. TWO
<br>NOTES:(1) When we say, "Treat others as you would like to be treated,"
<br>this includes all other people, not merely those who happen to be with us
<br>at the moment. So we must also consider the impact of our actions on all
<br>other people, not only those immediately before us. (2) When we say "in
<br>the same situation," this means that our roles and personalities must be
<br>mentally reversed, so that we see the situation from the other person's
<br>point of view, trying to understand his needs and desires as if they were
<br>our own. Also, we need to apply the "Rational Man" standard,
<br>long-established in Law. The Golden Rule does not require us to grant
<br>irrational requests made by insane persons.

<br>situation, please visit

<br>
<br>
<br>LEARN HOW TO ENJOY OTHER PEOPLE
<br>The common experience of mankind is that if you enjoy someone, it is easy
<br>to love them; but if you do not enjoy them, then it is hard to love them.
<br>So we see that enjoying other people is a big part of loving them.
<br>It is difficult to love other people if we do not enjoy them.
<br>
<br>Here are four things to do, which will help you enjoy other people . . .
<br>1. First, set your mind on doing it. Recognize that God wants you to enjoy
<br>other people, not only because He wants you to be able to love them, but
<br>also because He loves you and wants you to have more enjoyment for
<br>yourself! So you have God's complete permission to enjoy other people,
<br>maybe far more than you ever imagined.
<br>
<br>2. For every person you encounter, try to find at least one thing about
<br>them which you enjoy. Examples: beautiful face, sweet smile, pretty eyes,
<br>sweet voice, pleasant mannerisms, graceful movements, nice hair,
<br>intelligence, ability with words, ability to fix things, creative
<br>personality, good personality, comforting presence, generosity, ability to
<br>solve problems, personal leadership skills, good sense of style,
<br>attractive body parts, good attitude with children, helpful personality,
<br>good intentions, nice smell, attractive clothing, good attitude with other
<br>people, sincerity, honesty, etc. If you find more enjoyable things about
<br>them, go ahead and list them in your mind.
<br>
<br>3. For each thing you enjoy about that person (above), please think of a
<br>complete sentence which expresses your thought. For instance, "I enjoy
<br>watching her smile," or "I enjoy the pleasing sound of his voice." Then
<br>say that sentence out loud, to yourself. Or better yet, tell it to someone
<br>else.
<br>
<br>4. If there are things you do not enjoy about that person, do not express
<br>those thoughts in words, because that would make you think about them even
<br>more. But instead, think to yourself one of the following explanations:
<br>
<br>"Maybe they can't help it." or
<br>"Maybe they have their own good reasons for being that way." or
<br>
<br>"Maybe they don't realize what they are doing."
<br>
<br>In other words, give them a good excuse for whatever it is that you do not
<br>enjoy.
<br>If you will do these things, you will be well on your way to developing
<br>your love for others, as well as increasing your own personal enjoyment in
<br>your life.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TOLERANCE AND APPROVAL
<br>
<br>
<br>=> The Difference Between Tolerance And Approval -
<br><a href="http://www.internetchurchofchrist.org/differencebetweentoleranceandapproval.html">http://www.internetchurchofchrist.org/differencebetweentoleranceandapproval.html</a>
<br>
<br>
<br>INCREASE YOUR LOVE FOR OTHERS BY DOING GOOD TO THEM
<br>It is a happy fact of human nature, that we increase our love for others
<br>by doing good to them. The more good we do to other people, the more our
<br>love for them increases. Try it for yourself, and you will see.
<br>IF WE LOVE, WE MUST FORGIVE
<br>If we love them, we must forgive them. Just as God loves us and has
<br>forgiven us, we must also forgive them. If we will not forgive others, God
<br>will not forgive us! Simple as that. People who claim to be Christians but
<br>who will not forgive are merely deceiving themselves.
<br>
<br>A METHOD OF GRANTING FORGIVENESS
<br>
<br>FORGIVE EVERYBODY FOR EVERYTHING BAD THEY HAVE DONE TO YOU OR YOURS
<br>
<br>But you may say, "I know I should forgive them, but it is very hard to do.
<br>How can I do it? What should I do?"
<br>
<br>
<br>Here is a good way to go about granting your forgiveness to others.

<br>
<br>
<br>JESUS ENABLES US TO LOVE OTHERS AS OURSELF
<br>By our own flawed human nature, it is almost impossible to love others as
<br>we love ourself. Maybe some few people can do it, but most people cannot
<br>even come close. But when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord, His Holy
<br>Spirit enters us and dwells within us, transforming our flawed nature into
<br>a more perfect nature, more like His own.

<br>
<br>It is easy to love those who already know you and love you. So here is the
<br>way to love strangers.
<br>First, Give Them What They Ask For - unless you have a good reason not to
<br>do so.
<br>Next, Give Them What They Really Want - as best you can determine it.
<br>
<br>Finally, Give Them What They Clearly Need - but do not assume too much.
<br>
<br>Always Follow The Law Of Love And The Golden Rule ("Love your neighbor as
<br>yourself," and "Treat others as you would like to be treated."

<br>The Gift Of Your Blessing -
<br>"How To Give Your Blessings To Other People"
<br><a href="http://www.internetchurchofchrist.org/giveyourblessings.html">http://www.internetchurchofchrist.org/giveyourblessings.html</a>
<br>
<br>
<br>When we pray for someone, the conversation is between us and the Lord.
<br>When we give our blessings, however, the conversation is between us and
<br>the other person directly, with the Lord listening in, observing.
<br>
<br>A blessing is the opposite of a curse. As Christians, we almost never want
<br>to curse anybody for anything. In contrast, we should dispense our
<br>blessings freely, whenever the Spirit leads us to do so.
<br>
<br>There are two proven formats for giving a blessing to other people. You
<br>can give it directly to them, using the word "May," followed by whatever
<br>good things you want them to receive. Or you can invoke the Lord's help,
<br>using the words "May the Lord," followed by whatever good things you want
<br>Him to give them. Here are examples . . .
<br>
<br>Examples Of Direct Blessings
<br>"May you have a safe trip home, with no difficulties of any kind."
<br>"May your days be filled with joy."
<br>
<br>"May your pain subside and your illness go away."
<br>
<br>"May you get the job you are trying to obtain."
<br>
<br>"May your grief pass by like a cloud, and may peace return to your heart."
<br>
<br>"May your heart be filled with joy at this moment of happiness for you."
<br>
<br>Examples Of Blessings Which Invoke The Lord's Help
<br>"May the Lord richly bless you as you continue your work in His behalf."
<br>"May the Lord give you a safe trip home, with no problems of any kind."
<br>
<br>"May the Lord wipe away your tears and give you peace of mind."
<br>
<br>"May the Lord bring love and harmony into your home."
<br>
<br>
<br> * * *
<br>So don't be shy. Just go ahead and start blessing people, as the Spirit
<br>leads. When Holy Spirit prompts you to give a blessing, do it! Just walk
<br>right up to the other person, maybe shake their hand or touch them, look
<br>them in the eye, and pronounce your blessing on them.
<br>They will recognize immediatly that this is a major expression of love,
<br>and they will *always* appreciate it.
<br>
<br>Be sure to give Christ the glory by identifying yourself as a Christian.
<br>The Lord *loves* to use imperfect vessels for His work, so don't feel
<br>unworthy if you are less than a "perfect" Christian. You are *always*
<br>authorized to dispense love to other people: ALWAYS!

<br>Normal, Everyday Life In Harmony With The Will Of God
<br>Day-To-Day Living With The Lord
<br>By Rev. Bill McGinnis, Director - LoveAllPeople.org
<br>To support us, please visit the advertisers on our pages.
<br>
<br>Some people prefer a private type of religion, where they simply want to
<br>live their lives in a normal everyday manner, in harmony with the will of
<br>God. They don't want to save any souls, or lead any movements, or be a
<br>conspicuous "religious person" in any way.
<br>
<br>Such people are acceptable to God, although He would prefer that they take
<br>a more open active stance for Him. And He reserves his best blessings for
<br>those who openly and boldly express their love and devotion to Him.
<br>
<br>Nevertheless, He loves and accepts those who simply want to live in
<br>private accord with His will for them.
<br>
<br>For these people, here is all they really need to do: THE BARE MINIMUM . .
<br>.
<br>
<br>1. Accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour.
<br>Click HERE! to do that. => <a href="http://www.loveallpeople.org/gateway.html">http://www.loveallpeople.org/gateway.html</a>
<br>Jesus promises that everyone who believes in Him will have eternal life.
<br>
<br>
<br> "For God so loved the world, that he gave his
<br> only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
<br> in him should not perish, but have everlasting
<br> life." (John 3:16 KJV)
<br>
<br>2. Follow the Golden Rule, which is, "Treat Others The Way You Would Like
<br>To Be Treated."
<br>Click HERE! to find out more about the Golden Rule =>
<br><a href="http://www.loveallpeople.org/golden.html">http://www.loveallpeople.org/golden.html</a>
<br>Jesus teaches that all of God's law is embodied in the Golden Rule.
<br>
<br>
<br> The Golden Rule
<br>
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>
<br> "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to
<br> you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."
<br> (Matthew 7:12 KJV)
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>
<br>
<br>If you do these two things alone, you will meet all of God's minimum
<br>requirements. You will have a full and rich life on earth, and you will
<br>have an eternity in heaven after you leave this life. You will NOT reach
<br>your highest potential, and you will not receive the highest blessings.
<br>(To achieve these things, you would need to seek Him actively and to
<br>desire intensely to be ever-closer to Him at all times.) But you will be
<br>okay. And for many people, this is all they seek.

<br>"How To Get More Holy Spirit Into You"
<br>
<br>God wants us to love Him and seek Him. If we ask for more of Him, He will
<br>give it. In general, sin grieves the Holy Spirit and drives Him away. Love
<br>pleases the Holy Spirit and attracts Him to us. When we please the Holy
<br>Spirit, we draw Him into us in greater measure. Holy Communion is
<br>extremely important, directly commanded by Jesus. We don't know how, but
<br>it works to infuse us with more Holy Spirit.

<br>CAST YOUR CARES ON JESUS - Be Anxious For Nothing
<br>Jesus is our Lord and our Saviour. We have given ourselves to Him, so we
<br>now belong to Him. He has been given all power in Heaven and Earth, so we
<br>should let Him take care of these things for us. We are overstepping our
<br>boundaries when we feel we have to figure everything out for ourselves.

<br>NOTE: This kind of restatement of Biblical ideas is authorized by Jesus in
<br>Matthew 13:52, where He says,"Therefore every scribe which is instructed
<br>unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder,
<br>which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old." I am a
<br>scribe (writer) who is "instructed unto the kingdom of heaven," and I am
<br>bringing forth new things like this, out of the treasure He has given to
<br>me.
<br>Eliminate All Guilt Through Jesus Christ
<br>
<br>
<br> Many people, perhaps even you, are going through their lives weighted
<br> down by a load of guilt.
<br>
<br> Even if you are not religious at all, you still have an inborn
<br> knowledge of right and wrong which your Creator wrote into your heart
<br> when He made you in your mother's womb. Deep down, you basically know
<br> what is right and what is wrong, without anybody telling you. Your
<br> conscience tells you.
<br>
<br> As the Bible says . . .
<br>
<br>
<br> ROMANS 2:14-15 (KJV)
<br>
<br> 14
<br> For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by
<br> nature the things contained in the law, these, having not
<br> the law, are a law unto themselves:
<br> 15
<br> Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts,
<br> their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts
<br> the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
<br>
<br>
<br> God understands very well that we have guilt . . .
<br>
<br>
<br> "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"
<br> (Romans 3:23 KJV)
<br>
<br>
<br> And God has provided a clear and simple way for us to eliminate all of
<br> our guilt, now and forever: His Son, Jesus Christ.
<br>
<br> By dying for us, in our place as a substitute for us, Jesus has paid
<br> the death penalty for everyone who will accept His payment for
<br> themselves. By shedding His own blood for us, He makes us clean.
<br>
<br> "and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from
<br> all sin." (1 John 1:7b KJV)
<br>
<br> Whatever things you have done wrong in your entire life, Jesus can
<br> wipe them away completely.

<br>Summary Of All The Commandments Of Jesus
<br>
<br>This is His one commandment which summarizes all the others:
<br> ********************************************************
<br> "This is my commandment, that you love one another
<br> as I have loved you." (John 15:12 RSV)
<br> ********************************************************
<br>Here is the way He arrived at this one summary verse.
<br> JOHN 15:9-12 (RSV)
<br>
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>
<br> 9
<br> As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in
<br> my love.
<br> 10
<br> If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love,
<br> just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in
<br> his love.
<br> 11
<br> These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in
<br> you, and that your joy may be full.
<br> 12
<br> This is my commandment, that you love one another as I
<br> have loved you.
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>
<br>
<br>This is not just one more commandment He added to a list. This one
<br>commandment summarizes all the others: "Love one another as I have loved
<br>you." "
<br>NOTE: "Love one another" means "love all people," not just "love other
<br>Christians."
<br>
<br>Complete List Of The Commandments Of Jesus
<br>
<br>Here, then, is the complete list of all the Commandments which Jesus
<br>taught His disciples to observe, as I have found them recorded in the four
<br>Gospels. They are organized into two groups: the Universal Moral Law, and
<br>the Other Commandments Of Jesus.
<br>A summary of each commandment is given first, then a detailed explanation
<br>of each one, with Scriptural references.
<br>
<br>It is always possible that I have overlooked a commandment or two. So in
<br>order to make sure for yourself, please buy a Bible with the words of
<br>Jesus written in red. Then read the red words first, and see for yourself!
<br>As Jesus said, "the words I speak to you, they are spirit and they are
<br>life." (John 6:63b KJV)
<br>

<br>
<br>Detailed List Of The Commandments Of Jesus, With Scriptural References
<br>
<br>The Universal Moral Law
<br> This is the Universal Moral Law regarding your relationship with your
<br> Creator and with all other people on Earth. This law now applies to
<br> all people in all situations.
<br>
<br> There are three parts to the Universal Moral Law . . .
<br> 1. The Law Of Love
<br> 2. The Ten Commandments
<br> 3. The Golden Rule
<br>
<br> THE LAW OF LOVE
<br> "First, love God your Creator more than anything
<br> else. Then, love all other people the same as you
<br> love yourself."
<br> (Based on Matthew 22:35-40, restated in Mark
<br> 12:28-31 and Luke 10:25-28. The idea of all people
<br> as neighbors is explained in Luke 10:29-37)
<br> "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord
<br> thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
<br> and with all thy mind. This is the first and great
<br> commandment." (Matthew 22:37-38 KJV)
<br> "And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy
<br> neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang
<br> all the law and the prophets. (Matthew 22:39-40 KJV)
<br>
<br>
<br> THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
<br> Throughout the Old Testament, there are hundreds of "commandments,"
<br> covering all parts of life. Collectively, these make up "the Law" of
<br> the Old Covenant.
<br>
<br> However, one group of commandments is very special, and it is known as
<br> "the commandments." That is the Ten Commandments, dictated by God,
<br> written in stone, and given to all people forever. The people of
<br> Israel placed The Ten Commandments first, separate and distinct above
<br> all others.
<br>
<br> Most of The Law of the Old Covenant no longer applies to Christians
<br> under the New Covenant (See Hebrews 8:13, etc.) However, the Ten
<br> Commandments still apply, because they were ratified by Jesus in Mark
<br> 10:19 and Luke 18:20 when He said, "You know the commandments."
<br>
<br> The Ten Commandments are given in two different places in the Bible,
<br> once in Exodus 20:1-17 and once in Deuteronomy 5:6-22. The content is
<br> the same in both places.
<br> Here is the modern restatement of The Ten Commandments. After this is
<br> the translation of the original text.
<br> The Ten Commandments: Modern Restatement
<br> 1. "Do not put anything ahead of God your Creator."
<br> 2. "Do not make or worship idols."
<br> 3. "Do not take the name of God in vain."
<br> 4. "Take one day of complete rest each week, in honor of God."
<br> 5. "Honor your father and your mother."
<br> 6. "Do not commit murder."
<br> 7. "Do not commit adultery."
<br> 8. "Do not steal."
<br> 9. "Do not tell lies against anyone."
<br> 10. "Do not covet other people's possessions."
<br> (Based on Exodus 20:1-17, restated in
<br> Deuteronomy 5:6-22. Jesus did not specifically
<br> restate commandments 2, 3, 4 or 10, but it was
<br> understood that He endorsed and followed all of the
<br> Ten Commandments.)
<br>
<br> EXODUS 20:1-17 (KJV)
<br> The Ten Commandments
<br> 1
<br> And God spake all these words, saying,
<br> 2
<br> I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of
<br> the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
<br> 3
<br> Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
<br> 4
<br> Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or
<br> any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or
<br> that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water
<br> under the earth.
<br> NOTE: "Graven images" here means idols, not all
<br> drawings or statues, as some have mistakenly
<br> believed. If statues were prohibited, then
<br> the two angel statues on the Ark Of The
<br> Covenant would have been prohibited.
<br> (See Exodus 25:18-20)
<br> 5
<br> Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve
<br> them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God,
<br> visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the
<br> children unto the third and fourth generation of them
<br> that hate me;
<br> 6
<br> And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love
<br> me, and keep my commandments.
<br> 7
<br> Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in
<br> vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that
<br> taketh his name in vain.
<br> 8
<br> Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
<br> 9
<br> Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
<br> 10
<br> But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy
<br> God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy
<br> son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy
<br> maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is
<br> within thy gates:
<br> 11
<br> For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the
<br> sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh
<br> day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and
<br> hallowed it.
<br> 12
<br> Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may
<br> be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth
<br> thee.
<br> 13
<br> Thou shalt not kill.
<br> NOTE: This is a prohibition against private killing,
<br> not against killing in war or as punishment for
<br> breaking the law. God specifically authorized
<br> killing in war (see Deuteronomy 7:2, etc.)
<br> and killing as punishment for certain crimes
<br> (see Deuteronomy 13:9, etc.)
<br> 14
<br> Thou shalt not commit adultery.
<br> 15
<br> Thou shalt not steal.
<br> 16
<br> Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy
<br> neighbour.
<br> 17
<br> Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou
<br> shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his
<br> manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his
<br> ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
<br> * * *
<br> "And all the people saw the thunderings, and the
<br> lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the
<br> mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they
<br> removed, and stood afar off." (Exodus 20:18 KJV)
<br>
<br> THE GOLDEN RULE
<br> "Treat Others As You Would Like To Be Treated."
<br> (Based on Matthew 7:12, restated in Luke 6:31)
<br> "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men
<br> should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is
<br> the law and the prophets." (Matthew 7:12 KJV)
<br>
<br>The Other Commandments Of Jesus
<br> 1. "FORGIVE EVERYBODY OF ALL THEIR OFFENSES AGAINST YOU."
<br> (Forgive, and be forgiven.)
<br> As you forgive other people, God will forgive you.
<br>
<br> "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our
<br> debtors." (Matthew 6:12 KJV)
<br> "And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have
<br> ought against any: that your Father also which
<br> in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
<br> "But if ye do not forgive, neither will your
<br> Father which is in heaven forgive your
<br> trespasses." (Mark 11:25-26 KJV)
<br>
<br> 2. "YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN."
<br> Being "born again" means casting off the spirit of the
<br> flesh and taking on the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit,
<br> Who is given by the grace of God to those who believe
<br> in Jesus Christ as the only-begotten Son of God, risen
<br> from the dead.
<br>
<br> "Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born
<br> again." (John 3:7 KJV)
<br> 3. "ABIDE IN ME, AND LET ME ABIDE IN YOU."
<br>
<br> When you accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour,
<br> His Holy Spirit moves into your heart. He actually lives
<br> in you, and you live in Him.
<br> "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear
<br> fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more
<br> can ye, except ye abide in me." (John 15:4 KJV)
<br>
<br> 4. "LET PEOPLE SEE YOUR GOOD WORKS." (Do not hide your light
<br> under a basket.)
<br> "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see
<br> see your good works, and glorify your Father which is
<br> in heaven." (Matthew 5:16 KJV; see also Matthew 5:15)
<br> 5. "END DISPUTES QUICKLY."
<br> "Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art
<br> in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary
<br> deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee
<br> to the officer, and thou be cast into prison."
<br> (Matthew 5:25 KJV)
<br> 6. "WHATEVER CAUSES YOU TO SIN, GET RID OF IT."
<br> "And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and
<br> cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that
<br> one of thy members should perish, and not that thy
<br> whole body should be cast into hell.
<br> "And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and
<br> cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that
<br> one of thy members should perish, and not that thy
<br> whole body should be cast into hell."
<br> (Matthew 5:29-30 KJV)
<br> 7. "DO NOT SWEAR OATHS AT ALL."

<br>
<br> "Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by
<br> Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
<br>
<br> "Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou
<br> canst not make one hair white or black.
<br>
<br> "But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay:
<br> for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil."
<br>
<br> (Matthew 5:34-37 KJV)
<br> 8. "DO NOT RETURN OFFENSE FOR OFFENSE." (Turn the other cheek.)
<br> "Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an

<br> "That ye may be the children of your Father which is
<br> in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil
<br> and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on
<br> the unjust."

<br> be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your
<br> Father which is in heaven." (Matthew 6:1 KJV)
<br> 12. "PRAY PRIVATELY AND SIMPLY, NOT TO IMPRESS OTHER PEOPLE."
<br> "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are:
<br> for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the
<br> corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I
<br> say unto you, They have their reward.
<br>
<br> "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when
<br> thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret;
<br> and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
<br>

<br> speaking."
<br>
<br> (Matthew 6:5-7 KJV)
<br>
<br> 13. "MAKE YOUR PRAYERS BE LIKE THE LORD'S PRAYER."
<br> After this manner therefore pray ye:
<br> Our Father which art in heaven,
<br> Hallowed be thy name.
<br> Thy kingdom come,
<br> Thy will be done in earth,
<br> As it is in heaven.
<br> Give us this day our daily bread.
<br> And forgive us our debts,
<br> As we forgive our debtors.
<br> And lead us not into temptation,
<br> But deliver us from evil:

<br> And the glory,
<br> For ever.
<br> Amen.
<br> (Matthew 6:9-15 KJV)
<br>
<br> 14. "WHEN YOU FAST, DO IT SECRETLY, NOT FOR SHOW."
<br> "Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad

<br> reward." (Matthew 6:16)
<br>
<br> 15. "STORE UP YOUR TREASURES IN HEAVEN, NOT ON EARTH."
<br>
<br> "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and
<br> rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
<br>
<br> "But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither
<br> moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break
<br> through nor steal:
<br>
<br> "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
<br> (Matthew 6:19-21)
<br> 16. "DO NOT WORRY ABOUT YOUR MATERIAL NEEDS."
<br>
<br> "Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what
<br> ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body,
<br> what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the
<br> body than raiment?
<br>
<br> "Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they
<br> reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth
<br> them. Are ye not much better than they?"
<br>
<br> (Matthew 6:25-26 KJV)
<br> 17. "DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE FUTURE."
<br> "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall
<br> take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day
<br> is the evil thereof." (Matthew 6:34 KJV)
<br> 18. "MAKE GOD YOUR HIGHEST PRIORITY, AND HE WILL TAKE CARE OF
<br> ALL YOUR NEEDS."
<br> "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
<br> righteousness; and all these things shall be
<br> added unto you." (Matthew 6:33 KJV)
<br> 19. "DO NOT JUDGE OTHER PEOPLE." (Judge not, lest ye be judged.)
<br> "Judge not, that ye be not judged.
<br>
<br> "For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with
<br> what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."
<br>
<br> (Matthew 7:1-2 KJV)
<br> So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and
<br> said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first
<br> cast a stone at her. (John 8:7 KJV)
<br>
<br> 20. "DO NOT GIVE HOLY THINGS TO DOGS OR CAST YOUR PEARLS
<br> BEFORE SWINE."
<br> "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye
<br> your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under
<br> their feet, and turn again and rend you."
<br> (Matthew 7:6 KJV)
<br>
<br>
<br> 21. "ASK GOD FOR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO HAVE." (Seek, and ye
<br> shall find.)
<br> "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;
<br> knock, and it shall be opened unto you:" (Matthew 7:7 KJV)
<br> 22. "FEED THE HUNGRY, CLOTHE THE NAKED, SHELTER THE HOMELESS,
<br> COMFORT THOSE IN DISTRESS."
<br>
<br>
<br> "Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come,
<br> ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for
<br> you from the foundation of the world:
<br>
<br> "For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty,
<br> and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
<br>
<br> "Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I
<br> was in prison, and ye came unto me.
<br> (Matthew 25:34-36 KJV)
<br> 23. "FOLLOW THE NARROW PATH TO LIFE." (Enter by the narrow gate.)
<br> The wide gate is the gate you simply stumble through, when you
<br> are not paying attention.
<br>
<br> "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad
<br> is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be
<br> which go in thereat:
<br>
<br> "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which
<br> leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."
<br> (Matthew 7:13-14 KJV)
<br> 24. "BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS."
<br> "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
<br> clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
<br> (Matthew 7:15 KJV)
<br>
<br> 25. "EXERCISE POWER OVER UNCLEAN SPIRITS."
<br>
<br> "And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples,
<br> he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out,
<br> and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease."
<br> (Matthew 10:1 KJV)
<br> "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast
<br> out devils: freely ye have received, freely give."
<br> (Matthew 10:8 KJV)
<br> 26. "LOVE LITTLE CHILDREN, DO NOT DESPISE THEM."
<br> "Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones;
<br> for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do
<br> always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven."
<br> (Matthew 18:10 KJV)
<br>
<br> 27. "DO NOT TAKE THE TITLES 'MASTER' OR 'FATHER' FOR YOURSELF."
<br> "But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master,
<br> even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
<br>
<br> "And call no man your father upon the earth: for one
<br> is your Father, which is in heaven.
<br>
<br> "Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master,
<br> even Christ.
<br>
<br> "But he that is greatest among you shall be your
<br> servant.
<br>
<br> "And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased;
<br> and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted."
<br> (Matthew 23:8-12 KJV)
<br> 28. "RESOLVE DISPUTES IN AN ORDERLY WAY, LIKE THIS . . . "
<br>
<br> "Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee,
<br> go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone:
<br> if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
<br>
<br> "But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one
<br> or two more, that in the mouth of two or three
<br> witnesses every word may be established.
<br>
<br> "And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto
<br> the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let
<br> him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican."
<br> (Matthew 18:15-17 KJV)
<br> 29. "DO NOT OPPOSE OTHER BELIEVERS IN CHRIST WHO ARE NOT IN YOUR
<br> GROUP."
<br> "And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one
<br> casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not
<br> us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
<br>
<br> "But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man
<br> which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly
<br> speak evil of me.
<br>
<br> "For he that is not against us is on our part."
<br> (Mark 9:38-40 KJV)
<br> 30. "HAVE TOTAL FAITH IN GOD FOR EVERYTHING."
<br>
<br> "And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in
<br> God.
<br>
<br> "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say
<br> unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast
<br> into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but
<br> shall believe that those things which he saith shall
<br> come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
<br>
<br> "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye
<br> desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them,
<br> and ye shall have them."
<br> (Mark 11:22-24 KJV)
<br> 31. "BE LIKE THE GOOD SAMARITAN." (Go, and do likewise.)
<br> "Then Jesus said unto him, Go, and do thou
<br> likewise." (Luke 10:37b KJV)
<br> This was in reference to the Parable Of The
<br> Good Samaritan, who helped and took care of
<br> a man who had been attacked by robbers.
<br> (See Luke 10:30-35)
<br>
<br> 32. "LOVE OTHER PEOPLE AS I HAVE LOVED YOU"
<br> "This is my commandment, That ye love one another,
<br> as I have loved you." (John 15:12 KJV)
<br> NOTE: This one commandment summarizes
<br> all the others.
<br> 33. "EAT BREAD AND DRINK WINE IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME."
<br> "And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and
<br> gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given
<br> for you: do this in remembrance of me. Likewise also
<br> the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new
<br> testament in my blood, which is shed for you."
<br> (Luke 22:19-20 KJV)
<br> 34. "WASH ONE ANOTHER'S FEET."
<br> The full meaning of this dramatic command is for us
<br> to care for each other's needs as if they were our own.
<br> He also wants us literally to wash each other's feet.
<br> "If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye
<br> also ought to wash one another's feet." (John 13:14 KJV)
<br> 35. "BE MERCIFUL."
<br> "Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful."
<br> (Luke 6:36 KJV)
<br> " . . . for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil."
<br> (Luke 6:35b KJV)
<br>
<br> 36. "GO AND TEACH ALL NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM."
<br> "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
<br> name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
<br> Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
<br> commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto
<br> the end of the world." Amen. (Matthew 28:19-20 KJV)
<br> 37. "KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS."
<br> "If you love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:15 KJV)
<br> 38. "BE PREPARED FOR YOUR MASTER TO RETURN."
<br> "Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh
<br> at an hour when ye think not." (Luke 12:40 KJV)
<br> * * *
<br>May the Lord bless this presentation of His holy Word.
<br>
<br>Amen.

<br>Jesus Can Become Your Lord Right Now!
<br>
<br>Beloved, you have now finished reading The Commandments Of Jesus. You now
<br>know what Jesus really teaches. If you love His teaching, you will love
<br>Him even more personally. You can have Him personally, dwelling inside you
<br>as your own personal Lord and Saviour, with you all the time. This is
<br>called "Salvation," or "being saved," or being "born again."
<br>The Scriptural requirements for Salvation are set forth in Romans 10:9.
<br>
<br> "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and
<br> shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the
<br> dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9 KJV)
<br>Confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is your personal Lord, and
<br>believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead: that's all it
<br>takes to gain Salvation.
<br>If any person prays this prayer out loud, sincerely believing these words,
<br>he has met the scriptural requirements for salvation. Jesus Christ will
<br>then come into his life as Lord and Saviour, as He promised.
<br>
<br> "Personal Prayer Of Salvation"
<br> O Lord, I know that You are waiting here,
<br> For me to let You come into my life.
<br> I know that You are knocking on the door,
<br> And now I pray that You will enter in.
<br> * * *
<br> I pray that You will come into my life,
<br> As Lord and Saviour, ruling over me.
<br> I know that You are truly Son of God,
<br> I know that You have risen from the dead,
<br> I know that only You can save my soul.
<br> I need Your guidance, and I need Your love;
<br> I want to follow everywhere You lead.
<br> I truly do repent of all my sins;
<br> I feel remorse for evil I have done;
<br> I know that only You can make me clean.
<br> I turn my back on sin and look to You.
<br> I am forgiving all who did me harm,
<br> As You are now forgiving all my sins.
<br> And now as I commit myself to You,
<br> I pray that You commit Yourself to me.
<br> I pray that You will take me as I am,
<br> And draw me, step-by-step, into Your arms.
<br> In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.
<br> <><
<br>Blessings to you in Jesus Christ, our Lord! If you said this prayer
<br>sincerely, you are now a Christian. Congratulations!
<br>Now, what next? You have made the committment to Jesus, so what should you
<br>do now? Write to me and tell me! Then, go tell the first practicing
<br>Christian you can find. He (she) will know what to do next. And also
<br>please see . . .

<br>
<br>Men, women, children, saints, sinners, rich, poor,
<br>black-white-yellow-green, old, young, beautiful, ugly, friends, enemies:
<br>you have God's permission to love EVERYBODY in the entire world.
<br>You don't need to be shy. You are authorized by God to love all people,
<br>whomever they may be.
<br>
<br>
<br> "For all the law is fulfilled in one word,
<br> even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour
<br> as thyself." (Galatians 5:14 KJV)
<br>
<br> "This is my commandment, That ye love one another,
<br> as I have loved you." (John 15:12 KJV)
<br>
<br>
<br>And the Bible says that EVERYONE IS YOUR NEIGHBOR!
<br><a href="http://www.loveallpeople.org/pearl-everyoneisyourneighbor.html">http://www.loveallpeople.org/pearl-everyoneisyourneighbor.html</a>
<br>The Lord wants us to love others as we love ourselves and as He has loved
<br>us. But how exactly do we do this?
<br>
<br>The basic way is this: "TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED."
<br>This this is the Golden Rule, God's guideline for all mankind.
<br><a href="http://www.loveallpeople.org/golden.html">http://www.loveallpeople.org/golden.html</a>
<br>
<br>Our love begins within our heart, from the Holy Spirit within us. Then it
<br>flows outward, towards others. But sometimes we have difficulty knowing
<br>how to express this love and give it to others.
<br>
<br>This ministry provides practical techniques and methods for giving your
<br>love to other people.

<br>INTRODUCTION - First thoughts from 1998
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br> "I hope this little book leads you to experience the total
<br> joy that comes only through loving other people."
<br>
<br>=> Introduction - <a href="http://www.loveallpeople.org/loveintro.html">http://www.loveallpeople.org/loveintro.html</a>
<br>THE SCRIPTURAL MANDATE TO LOVE OTHER PEOPLE
<br>
<br>"Love All People As Yourself."
<br>The Bible states it very clearly, so there can be no possible
<br>misunderstanding: the Law Of Love fulfills the whole Law of God.
<br>
<br>
<br> THE LAW OF LOVE
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>
<br> For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, "You shall love your
<br> neighbor as yourself." (Galatians 5:14 RSV)
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>
<br>And who is your neighbor? Everyone is your neighbor. This is shown in the
<br>Parable Of The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37, shown below). Therefore,
<br>"Love your neighbor as yourself" really means "Love all people as
<br>yourself," because everyone is our neighbor.
<br>But what about love for God? Doesn't that come first? Yes, but God counts
<br>our love for others as if it were love for Himself. So when we love
<br>others, we are loving Him at the same time. This is shown in the Parable
<br>Of The Sheep And The Goats (Matthew 25:31-46, in the Appendix below). And
<br>we cannot claim to love God until we first love our fellow man.
<br>
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br> If any one says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a
<br> liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen,
<br> cannot love God whom he has not seen. (1 John 4:20 RSV)
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>But what about The Ten Commandments? Aren't we supposed to obey them? Yes,
<br>but The Ten Commandments are only an approximation of what God wants from
<br>us. The Pharisees obeyed all of the Ten Commandments, yet God was very
<br>displeased with them because they did not have love. The exact thing God
<br>wants from us is that we should love our neighbor as we love ourselves.
<br>Everything else depends on this.
<br>
<br>But what about holiness? Aren't we supposed to avoid improper sex, etc.
<br>and be pure and chaste? Aren't we supposed to deny our physical selves in
<br>order to strengthen our spiritual selves? Maybe so, but our feeble
<br>attempts at being holy do not even come close to God's high standards. To
<br>Him, they are like filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6). But if we have love for
<br>others, God will overlook a multitude of our sins (1 Peter 4:8). And if we
<br>forgive others of their offenses against us, He will forgive us of our
<br>offenses against Him (Matthew 5:14-15). Love makes everything holy, since
<br>God is love (1 John 4:8, 4:16).
<br>
<br>So all of God's requirements for mankind boil down to this one command:
<br>"YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." If you truly do this one thing
<br>only, it is enough. It then doesn't matter if you fall short on some of
<br>the dozens of others. But if you do not do this, all of the others
<br>together are not enough. This is the big one, more important than all the
<br>others combined.
<br>
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>
<br> If you really fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture,
<br> "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well.
<br> (James 2:8 RSV)

<br>TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED
<br>
<br>The best way to express your love for other people is to always follow The
<br>Golden Rule, "Treat Others As You Would Like To Be Treated."
<br><a href="http://www.loveallpeople.org/golden.html">http://www.loveallpeople.org/golden.html</a>
<br>THERE IS ONE UNDERLYING RULE FOR RIGHT AND WRONG BEHAVIOR:
<br>"TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED."
<br>This rule is known as "The Golden Rule." Some version of it is found in
<br>most religions, yet it establishes no particular religion; it leads to
<br>harmony among all people; it is the foundation of Democracy; and it leads
<br>to the political goal of "Greatest Good For The Greatest Number, With
<br>Basic Rights For All."
<br>
<br>To apply the Golden Rule, simply ask yourself "How would you like to be
<br>treated in the same situation?" Then treat the other person that way. TWO
<br>NOTES:(1) When we say, "Treat others as you would like to be treated,"
<br>this includes all other people, not merely those who happen to be with us
<br>at the moment. So we must also consider the impact of our actions on all
<br>other people, not only those immediately before us. (2) When we say "in
<br>the same situation," this means that our roles and personalities must be
<br>mentally reversed, so that we see the situation from the other person's
<br>point of view, trying to understand his needs and desires as if they were
<br>our own. Also, we need to apply the "Rational Man" standard,
<br>long-established in Law. The Golden Rule does not require us to grant
<br>irrational requests made by insane persons.
<br>If you need further help in applying the Golden Rule to your particular
<br>situation, please visit

<br>LEARN HOW TO ENJOY OTHER PEOPLE
<br>
<br>The common experience of mankind is that if you enjoy someone, it is easy
<br>to love them; but if you do not enjoy them, then it is hard to love them.
<br>So we see that enjoying other people is a big part of loving them.
<br>It is difficult to love other people if we do not enjoy them.

<br>=> How To Enjoy Other People -
<br><a href="http://www.internetchurchofchrist.org/howtoenjoyotherpeople.html">http://www.internetchurchofchrist.org/howtoenjoyotherpeople.html</a>
<br>How To Enjoy Other people
<br>
<br>Here are four things to do, which will help you enjoy other people . . .
<br>1. First, set your mind on doing it. Recognize that God wants you to enjoy
<br>other people, not only because He wants you to be able to love them, but
<br>also because He loves you and wants you to have more enjoyment for
<br>yourself! So you have God's complete permission to enjoy other people,
<br>maybe far more than you ever imagined.
<br>
<br>2. For every person you encounter, try to find at least one thing about
<br>them which you enjoy. Examples: beautiful face, sweet smile, pretty eyes,
<br>sweet voice, pleasant mannerisms, graceful movements, nice hair,
<br>intelligence, ability with words, ability to fix things, creative
<br>personality, good personality, comforting presence, generosity, ability to
<br>solve problems, personal leadership skills, good sense of style,
<br>attractive body parts, good attitude with children, helpful personality,
<br>good intentions, nice smell, attractive clothing, good attitude with other
<br>people, sincerity, honesty, etc. If you find more enjoyable things about
<br>them, go ahead and list them in your mind.
<br>
<br>3. For each thing you enjoy about that person (above), please think of a
<br>complete sentence which expresses your thought. For instance, "I enjoy
<br>watching her smile," or "I enjoy the pleasing sound of his voice." Then
<br>say that sentence out loud, to yourself. Or better yet, tell it to someone
<br>else.
<br>
<br>4. If there are things you do not enjoy about that person, do not express
<br>those thoughts in words, because that would make you think about them even
<br>more. But instead, think to yourself one of the following explanations:
<br>
<br>"Maybe they can't help it." or
<br>"Maybe they have their own good reasons for being that way." or
<br>
<br>"Maybe they don't realize what they are doing."
<br>
<br>In other words, give them a good excuse for whatever it is that you do not
<br>enjoy.
<br>If you will do these things, you will be well on your way to developing
<br>your love for others, as well as increasing your own personal enjoyment in
<br>your life.
<br>
<br>
<br>UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TOLERANCE AND APPROVAL
<br>
<br>In our culture today, there are certain controversial actions which we may
<br>be able to tolerate but may never fully approve of. Among these
<br>controversial actions are: unrestricted sex among consenting adults,
<br>including homosexual acts, adultery, and prostitution; abortion; same-sex
<br>civil unions and/or marriage; and rights to die, including suicide and
<br>mercy killing.
<br>Without going into the merits of these issues at this time, we can
<br>nevertheless recognize the important differences between Tolerance and
<br>Approval.
<br>
<br>"Tolerance" is allowing something to exist without actively opposing it,
<br>even though we do not like it very much and we do not think it is a good
<br>thing. "Approval" is helping something to exist because we do like it and
<br>we do think it is a good thing.
<br>
<br>Thus it is easier for us to tolerate something than it is to approve of
<br>it. (Please see our conceptual model for this idea at
<br><a href="http://www.loveallpeople.org/tolerancevsapproval.html">http://www.loveallpeople.org/tolerancevsapproval.html</a>)
<br>
<br>Here are two easy examples from everyday life, which illustrate the
<br>difference between Tolerance and Approval.
<br>
<br>We tolerate babies crying in public, because it is in their nature to cry
<br>sometimes, and what can we really do to stop it? But we do not approve of
<br>babies crying in public. Their mothers should try to keep them as quiet as
<br>possible, so as not to annoy other people and not to interfere with other
<br>people's rights of "quiet enjoyment."
<br>Traffic police frequently tolerate driving speeds of five or ten miles per
<br>hour above the posted limits on major highways. They cannot actually
<br>approve of driving faster than the speed limits, because they are required
<br>to enforce the law, and the law sets the speed limits. But they can simply
<br>not enforce the minor infractions.
<br>
<br>To love other people, we must sometimes tolerate some of their behaviors
<br>which we cannot approve of.
<br>In these cases, it it may be helpful to give them the benefit of these
<br>three time-tested excuses . . .
<br>
<br>"Maybe they can't help it." or
<br>"Maybe they have their own good reasons for being that way." or
<br>
<br>"Maybe they don't realize what they are doing."
<br>
<br>In other words, give them a good excuse for doing whatever it is that you
<br>do not approve of, but need to tolerate.
<br>If you will do these things, you will be well on your way to developing
<br>your love for others, as well as increasing your own personal enjoyment in
<br>your life.

<br>INCREASE YOUR LOVE FOR OTHERS BY DOING GOOD TO THEM
<br>
<br>It is a happy fact of human nature, that we increase our love for others
<br>by doing good to them. The more good we do to other people, the more our
<br>love for them increases. Try it for yourself, and you will see.
<br>IF WE LOVE, WE MUST FORGIVE
<br>
<br>If we love them, we must forgive them. Just as God loves us and has
<br>forgiven us, we must also forgive them. If we will not forgive others, God
<br>will not forgive us! Simple as that. People who claim to be Christians but
<br>who will not forgive are merely deceiving themselves.
<br>A METHOD OF GRANTING FORGIVENESS
<br>
<br>But you may say, "I know I should forgive them, but it is very hard to do.
<br>How can I do it? What should I do?"
<br>
<br>Here is a good way to go about granting your forgiveness to others.
<br>
<br>First, let me pray for you, to help you grant your forgiveness.
<br>
<br> "As You Forgive, So Shall You Be Forgiven"
<br>
<br> I pray that you will learn this teaching well,
<br> I pray that you engrave it on your heart.
<br> The Lord has spoken clearly as can be:
<br> "As you forgive, so shall you be forgiven."
<br> * * *
<br> So if someone has done you wrong, forgive!
<br> And if somebody steals from you, forgive!
<br> And if they lie and laugh at you, forgive!
<br> And if they beat you half to death, forgive!
<br> * * *
<br> So when the day of judgment comes for you,
<br> And He reviews the life that you have led,
<br> I pray the record shows that you forgave,
<br> So He can say, "I likewise do forgive."
<br> * *
<br> In Jesus' name I pray for you, Amen.
<br>
<br> by Rev.Bill McGinnis, Public Domain
<br>Next, you make a list of everyone you can think of who has ever done you
<br>wrong or aroused anger in you. Call this your "Forgiveness List." On this
<br>list, write down the name of each offender, and a brief description of the
<br>thing(s) he did bad to you.
<br>Then, say this prayer, asking the Lord to help you.
<br>
<br> THIS PRAYER IS FOR YOU, YOURSELF, TO PRAY
<br> "To Grant Your Forgiveness"
<br>
<br> NOTE: This is a prayer for you to grant your forgiveness
<br> to everyone who has hurt you or has aroused the emotion of
<br> anger in you. You need to make a list of these people,
<br> complete to the best of your ability. If you don't know a
<br> particular name, you may merely describe the situation, like
<br> "The man who ran my car off the road last year, then drove
<br> away." As you are praying, you refer to this "forgiveness
<br> list." You may repeat this prayer whenever you need to.
<br> As a Christian, you never want to hold a grudge against
<br> anyone very long.
<br>
<br> * * *
<br>
<br> O Lord, I raise my humble prayer to you,
<br> That you might soothe my soul and grant me peace,
<br> For I have burned in anger, raged in wrath.
<br> I have a list where I have written down
<br> The names of those I want now to forgive.
<br>
<br> So Lord, I now declare that I forgive
<br> The people who are listed here today.
<br> For every wrong that they have done to me,
<br> I do forgive and blot out of my heart.
<br> For any anger they aroused in me,
<br> I do forgive them, each and every one.
<br> And any others, not upon this list,
<br> I also do forgive them, every one.
<br> I do sincerely promise this to you.
<br>
<br> And as I now forgive those listed here,
<br> I pray that you will likewise grant to me,
<br> Complete forgiveness for my many sins.
<br> In Jesus' name I pray to you, Amen.
<br>
<br>
<br> by Bill McGinnis, Public Domain
<br>
<br>Finally, go down the list of people, one-by-one. Deliberately forgive each
<br>person, saying, "In the name of Jesus, I forgive you." Then write beside
<br>each name the words, "I forgive you," and scratch out the name and the
<br>offense(s).
<br>If necessary in the future, make additional forgiveness lists, and repeat
<br>this procedure.

<br>JESUS ENABLES US TO LOVE OTHERS AS OURSELF
<br>
<br>By our own flawed human nature, it is almost impossible to love others as
<br>we love ourself. Maybe some few people can do it, but most people cannot
<br>even come close. But when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord, His Holy
<br>Spirit enters us and dwells within us, transforming our flawed nature into
<br>a more perfect nature, more like His own.

<br>HOW TO LOVE STRANGERS
<br>
<br>It is easy to love those who already know you and love you. So here is the
<br>way to love strangers.
<br>First, Give Them What They Ask For - unless you have a good reason not to
<br>do so.
<br>Next, Give Them What They Really Want - as best you can determine it.
<br>
<br>Finally, Give Them What They Clearly Need - but do not assume too much.
<br>
<br>Always Follow The Law Of Love And The Golden Rule ("Love your neighbor as
<br>yourself," and "Treat others as you would like to be treated."

<br>The Gift Of Your Blessing -
<br>"How To Give Your Blessings To Other People"
<br><a href="http://www.internetchurchofchrist.org/giveyourblessings.html">http://www.internetchurchofchrist.org/giveyourblessings.html</a>
<br>When we pray for someone, the conversation is between us and the Lord.
<br>When we give our blessings, however, the conversation is between us and
<br>the other person directly, with the Lord listening in, observing.
<br>
<br>A blessing is the opposite of a curse. As Christians, we almost never want
<br>to curse anybody for anything. In contrast, we should dispense our
<br>blessings freely, whenever the Spirit leads us to do so.
<br>
<br>There are two proven formats for giving a blessing to other people. You
<br>can give it directly to them, using the word "May," followed by whatever
<br>good things you want them to receive. Or you can invoke the Lord's help,
<br>using the words "May the Lord," followed by whatever good things you want
<br>Him to give them. Here are examples . . .
<br>
<br>Examples Of Direct Blessings
<br>
<br>"May you have a safe trip home, with no difficulties of any kind."
<br>"May your days be filled with joy."
<br>
<br>"May your pain subside and your illness go away."
<br>
<br>"May you get the job you are trying to obtain."
<br>
<br>"May your grief pass by like a cloud, and may peace return to your heart."
<br>
<br>"May your heart be filled with joy at this moment of happiness for you."
<br>
<br>Examples Of Blessings Which Invoke The Lord's Help
<br>
<br>"May the Lord richly bless you as you continue your work in His behalf."
<br>"May the Lord give you a safe trip home, with no problems of any kind."
<br>
<br>"May the Lord wipe away your tears and give you peace of mind."
<br>
<br>"May the Lord bring love and harmony into your home."
<br>
<br> * * *
<br>So don't be shy. Just go ahead and start blessing people, as the Spirit
<br>leads. When Holy Spirit prompts you to give a blessing, do it! Just walk
<br>right up to the other person, maybe shake their hand or touch them, look
<br>them in the eye, and pronounce your blessing on them.
<br>They will recognize immediatly that this is a major expression of love,
<br>and they will *always* appreciate it.
<br>
<br>Be sure to give Christ the glory by identifying yourself as a Christian.
<br>The Lord *loves* to use imperfect vessels for His work, so don't feel
<br>unworthy if you are less than a "perfect" Christian. You are *always*
<br>authorized to dispense love to other people: ALWAYS!

<br>Genesis 1:1
<br>"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
<br> Therefore, everything belongs to God.
<br>Colossians 1:16
<br>"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in
<br>earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or
<br>principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:"
<br>
<br> Everything whatsoever that has ever existed, in any form,
<br> material or non-material, was created by God.
<br>Psalms 24:1
<br>"The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they
<br>that dwell therein."
<br>
<br> Everything on or in the earth belongs to God.
<br>Genesis 1:28
<br>"And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply,
<br>and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of
<br>the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that
<br>moveth upon the earth."
<br> God placed mankind in charge of the earth, as His manager of it.
<br> He wants us to fill it up with people and exercise control over it.
<br>Revelation 4:11
<br>"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou
<br>hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."
<br>
<br> The purpose of all things -- including every human life --
<br> is to give pleasure to God.
<br>Psalms 149:4
<br>"For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek
<br>with salvation."
<br> God takes pleasure in His people, those who humbly love Him.
<br>James 4:8a
<br>"Draw nigh (near) to God, and he will draw nigh (near) to you."
<br>God wants us to seek Him, and when we do, He responds by
<br>moving closer to us.
<br>
<br>Psalms 23:6
<br>"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I
<br>will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever."
<br> We, who love Him, will live with Him forever.
<br>1 Corinthians 13:12
<br>"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know
<br>in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."
<br> It is impossible for us to know certain things at this time.
<br> But later, we will understand everything clearly.
<br>Matthew 22:37-40
<br>"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
<br>and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great
<br>commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
<br>as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."
<br> Love God and love your neighbor, which means everybody. This is the
<br> essence of the way He wants us to live.
<br>Galatians 5:14
<br>"For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love
<br>thy neighbour as thyself."
<br> Love for others fulfills all of God's law.
<br>1 Peter 4:8
<br>"And above all things have fervent charity (love) among yourselves: for
<br>charity (love) shall cover the multitude of sins."
<br> Love for others covers all our sins.
<br>Matthew 6:14-15
<br>"For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also
<br>forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your
<br>Father forgive your trespasses."
<br> If you will not forgive other people, God will not forgive you.
<br>Romans 14:12
<br>"So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God."
<br> After we die, each of us will have to give an account of our life
<br> to God, to be judged by Him . . .
<br>Romans 2:6
<br>"Who will render to every man according to his deeds:"
<br> And God will reward each of us according to what we have done.
<br>John 3:16
<br>"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
<br>whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
<br> Everyone who relies completely on Jesus will not perish at death,
<br> but will live forever.
<br>Matthew 28:18-20
<br>"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in
<br>heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
<br>them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
<br>Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and,
<br>lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen"
<br> Jesus now has been given all power in heaven and in earth; and
<br> He wants His followers to recruit more followers for Him.
<br>John 8:32
<br>"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
<br> Therefore, we should always seek the truth, avoiding the bondage
<br> of deception.
<br>Matthew 5:44-45
<br>"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good
<br>to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and
<br>persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in
<br>heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and
<br>sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust."
<br> Love all people, even your enemies.
<br>Matthew 7:7
<br>"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it
<br>shall be opened unto you:"
<br> Seek the Lord sincerely and diligently, and He will give you
<br> everything you need.
<br>Philippians 4:6
<br>"Be careful (anxious) for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and
<br>supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."
<br>Be anxious for nothing; ask God prayerfully for whatever you desire.
<br>John 10:10
<br>"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am
<br>come that they might have life, and that they might have it more
<br>abundantly."
<br> Jesus came to give us life, not to take it from us.
<br>Matthew 7:12
<br>"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye
<br>even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."
<br> Treat others as you would like to be treated, for this is what God
<br> wants us to do.
<br>Galatians 6:7
<br>"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that
<br>shall he also reap."
<br> What you do comes back to you.
<br>Romans 8:28
<br>"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God,
<br>to them who are the called according to his purpose."
<br> Everything works together for our own good, if we love God.
<br>John 14:16
<br>"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that
<br>he may abide with you for ever;"
<br> The Holy Spirit comforts us, and He lives with us forever.
<br>John 14:26
<br>"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in
<br>my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your
<br>remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."
<br> The Holy Spirit will teach us personally, and will also help
<br> us to recall the teachings of Jesus we have previously learned.
<br>John 10:27
<br>"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:"
<br> If we belong to Jesus, we can hear His voice and we can follow Him.
<br>Romans 12:18
<br>"If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men."
<br> Try as much as possible to live at peace with all people.
<br>Romans 13:7-8
<br>"Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due;
<br>custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. Owe no
<br>man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath
<br>fulfilled the law."
<br> Give other people whatever they are justly entitled to receive from
<br> you. If you love all other people, you have fulfilled God's law.
<br>Philippians 4:8
<br>"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are
<br>honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever
<br>things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any
<br>virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
<br>Keep your mind on good things, not bad things.
<br>Job 14:1
<br>"Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.
<br>We humans live a brief life on earth, filled with many troubles . . .
<br>Revelation 21:4
<br>And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no
<br>more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more
<br>pain: for the former things are passed away.
<br> But everything will work out well for us, in the end.

<br>Normal, Everyday Life In Harmony With The Will Of God
<br>Day-To-Day Living With The Lord
<br>
<br>By Rev. Bill McGinnis, Director - LoveAllPeople.org
<br>To support us, please visit the advertisers on our pages.
<br>Some people prefer a private type of religion, where they simply want to
<br>live their lives in a normal everyday manner, in harmony with the will of
<br>God. They don't want to save any souls, or lead any movements, or be a
<br>conspicuous "religious person" in any way.
<br>
<br>Such people are acceptable to God, although He would prefer that they take
<br>a more open active stance for Him. And He reserves his best blessings for
<br>those who openly and boldly express their love and devotion to Him.
<br>
<br>Nevertheless, He loves and accepts those who simply want to live in
<br>private accord with His will for them.
<br>
<br>For these people, here is all they really need to do: THE BARE MINIMUM . .
<br>.
<br>
<br>1. Accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour.
<br>Click HERE! to do that. => <a href="http://www.loveallpeople.org/gateway.html">http://www.loveallpeople.org/gateway.html</a>
<br>Jesus promises that everyone who believes in Him will have eternal life.
<br>
<br>
<br> "For God so loved the world, that he gave his
<br> only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
<br> in him should not perish, but have everlasting
<br> life." (John 3:16 KJV)
<br>
<br>2. Follow the Golden Rule, which is, "Treat Others The Way You Would Like
<br>To Be Treated."
<br>Click HERE! to find out more about the Golden Rule =>
<br><a href="http://www.loveallpeople.org/golden.html">http://www.loveallpeople.org/golden.html</a>
<br>Jesus teaches that all of God's law is embodied in the Golden Rule.
<br>
<br>
<br> The Golden Rule
<br>
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>
<br> "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to
<br> you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."
<br> (Matthew 7:12 KJV)
<br> _____________________________________________________________
<br>
<br>
<br>If you do these two things alone, you will meet all of God's minimum
<br>requirements. You will have a full and rich life on earth, and you will
<br>have an eternity in heaven after you leave this life. You will NOT reach
<br>your highest potential, and you will not receive the highest blessings.
<br>(To achieve these things, you would need to seek Him actively and to
<br>desire intensely to be ever-closer to Him at all times.) But you will be
<br>okay. And for many people, this is all they seek.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>IMPROVEMENTS OVER THE BARE MINIMUM . . .
<br>Also Follow The Ten Commandments
<br>
<br> THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (Restated for people outside of Biblical Israel)
<br>
<br> 1. "Do not put anything ahead of God your Creator."
<br> 2. "Do not make or worship idols."
<br> 3. "Do not take the name of God in vain."
<br> 4. "Take one day of complete rest each week."
<br> 5. "Honor your father and your mother."
<br> 6. "Do not commit murder."
<br> 7. "Do not commit adultery."
<br> 8. "Do not steal."
<br> 9. "Do not tell lies against anyone."
<br> 10. "Do not covet other people's possessions."
<br>(Based on Exodus 20:1-17, restated in Deuteronomy 5:6-22.)

<br>
<br>The Second Amendment Of The Constitution Does Not Apply To Modern Weapons
<br>It applies only to those weapons which existed in the Eighteenth Century,
<br>at the time the Constitution was written and adopted.
<br>
<br>
<br>Words can change their meanings over time. And the meaning of the word
<br>"arms" has changed dramatically from the eighteenth century until today.
<br>Then, "the right to bear arms" meant the right to own and use these
<br>weapons: a single shot blackpowder pistol; a single shot blackpowder
<br>rifle; a sword; a knife; a single shot blackpowder cannon; and not very
<br>much beyond these things.
<br>
<br>
<br>Similarly, the Bible used by George Washington and the other Founders, was
<br>the Authorized King James Bible (written in 1611) and was the official
<br>Bible of the Church Of England and of the American colonies during the
<br>eighteenth century. There are many words in that Bible whose meanings have
<br>changed since then. For example, the word "corn" meant wheat and other
<br>grains which have kernals, not the corn of today, which grows on corn
<br>cobs. The word "cattle" meant not only cows, but also sheep, goats,
<br>horses, and other domesticated animals which grazed on the land. The verb
<br>"to suffer" meant "to allow" or "to permit," not "to feel intense pain,"
<br>as it means today.
<br>
<br>It is just as inaccurate to believe that the eighteenth-century "right to
<br>bear arms" today means "right to own and carry assault rifles" as it would
<br>be to believe that the Biblical word "corn" today means "wheat" or that
<br>the Biblical phrase "suffer the little children" today means "make the
<br>little children feel intense pain."
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Blessings to you. May God help us all.

<br> Our Father, who art in heaven,
<br> hallowed be thy Name,
<br> thy kingdom come,
<br> thy will be done,
<br> on earth as it is in heaven.
<br> Give us this day our daily bread.
<br> And forgive us our trespasses,

<br> I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
<br> Maker of heaven and earth:
<br> And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord;
<br> Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit;
<br> Born of the Virgin Mary,
<br> Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
<br> Was crucified, dead, and buried;
<br> He descended into hell;
<br> The third day he rose again from the dead;
<br> He ascended into heaven
<br> And sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
<br> From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
<br> I believe in the Holy Spirit;
<br> The holy catholic church; *
<br> The communion of saints;
<br> The forgiveness of sins;
<br> The resurrection of the body;
<br> And the life everlasting.
<br>
<br> Amen.

<br> believers in Christ, not just one particular church.

<br>Poem - With audio reading plus music video
<br>"All The Way My Saviour Leads Me," - by Fanny J. Crosby
<br>ALL THE WAY MY SAVIOUR LEADS ME - by Fanny J. Crosby, 1875
<br> - Public Domain -
<br>
<br>
<br> All the way my Saviour leads me;
<br> What have I to ask beside?
<br> Can I doubt His faithful mercies,
<br> Who through life has been my guide?
<br> Heav'nly peace, divinest comfort,
<br> Here by faith in Him do dwell;
<br> For I know whate'er befall me,
<br> Jesus doeth all things well.
<br>
<br> All the way my Saviour leads me,
<br> Cheers each winding path I tread;
<br> Gives me strength for every trial,
<br> Feeds me with the living bread.
<br> Though my weary steps may falter,
<br> And my soul athirst may be,
<br> Gushing from the Rock before me,
<br> Lo, a spring of joy I see.
<br>
<br> All the way my Saviour leads me,
<br> O the fullness of His love!
<br> Perfect rest to me is promised,
<br> In my Father's house above;
<br> When my spirit, clothed immortal,
<br> Wings its flight to realms of day,
<br> This my song through endless ages:
<br> "Jesus led me all the way."

<br>*** Prayer For You ***
<br>Your Intellect Alone Is Not Enough
<br>NOTE: When you read this prayer, try to imagine hearing my voice as I
<br>speak
<br>it to you. In this way, the prayer is reactivated, and it is the same
<br>as if I were actually praying for you at that moment.
<br>(Just like television prayers are reactivated when you watch
<br>them, although the videotape may have been shot years before.)
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br> "Your Intellect Alone Is Not Enough"
<br>
<br> "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine
<br> own understanding." (Proverbs 3:5 KJV)
<br>
<br>
<br> Your intellect alone is not enough
<br> To guide you through this life you have on earth;
<br> For many of the world's most brilliant men
<br> Are lost, like drunkards stumbling through the night.
<br>
<br> But once the Holy Spirit dwells in you,
<br> He lights your path, illuminates the dark,
<br> He gives you answers to your deepest quests,
<br> Where intellect alone would surely fail.
<br>
<br> And so I pray the Lord will dwell in you,
<br> And let His holy presence guide your life.
<br> Then if you ask your mind for its assent
<br> Your mind will cheerfully affirm His truths.
<br>
<br> In Jesus' name I pray for you, Amen.

<br>How To Find A Real, Live Church

<br>so you gain the benefits of both. You can find a church for yourself by

<br>*** Benediction ***
<br>
<br> I pray the Lord that He will lead your path
<br> Away from the temptations all around.
<br> I pray that when temptation lingers near,
<br> The Lord will lead you not into its reach.
<br> But if temptation grabs you as you pass,
<br> I pray the Lord that you will struggle free.
<br> In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

<br>
<br>Here is how to do it, for you . . .

<br> PRAY THIS PRAYER, DIRECTLY TO JESUS CHRIST, WHO WILL HEAR YOU
<br>
<br>
<br> "Lord Jesus, I need You.
<br> Lord Jesus, please have mercy on me, a sinner.
<br> As You forgave the woman caught in adultery, please forgive me.
<br> Lord Jesus, I know You can help me if You choose to do it.
<br> Lord Jesus, here is my request:
<br>
<br> (Then tell Him what you are asking for.)
<br>
<br>
<br> Thank you, Lord. I need Your help. Amen"
<br>
<br>
<br>Now I will add my prayer, supporting yours.
<br>
<br>
<br> Lord Jesus, I thank You for giving Yourself to
<br> us and making Yourself available to us as our

<br> The Lord's Prayer
<br>
<br>
<br> Our Father, who art in heaven,
<br> hallowed be thy Name,
<br> thy kingdom come,
<br> thy will be done,
<br> on earth as it is in heaven.
<br> Give us this day our daily bread.
<br> And forgive us our trespasses,
<br> as we forgive those who trespass against us.
<br> And lead us not into temptation,
<br> but deliver us from evil.
<br> For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
<br> for ever and ever. Amen.

<br>
<br> I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
<br> Maker of heaven and earth:
<br> And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord;
<br> Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit;
<br> Born of the Virgin Mary,
<br> Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
<br> Was crucified, dead, and buried;
<br> He descended into hell;
<br> The third day he rose again from the dead;
<br> He ascended into heaven
<br> And sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
<br> From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
<br> I believe in the Holy Spirit;
<br> The holy catholic church; *
<br> The communion of saints;
<br> The forgiveness of sins;
<br> The resurrection of the body;
<br> And the life everlasting.
<br>
<br> Amen.
<br>
<br>
<br> * Note: "catholic church" here means the entire body of
<br> believers in Christ, not just one particular church.

<br>"All The Way My Saviour Leads Me," - by Fanny J. Crosby
<br>ALL THE WAY MY SAVIOUR LEADS ME - by Fanny J. Crosby, 1875
<br> - Public Domain -
<br>
<br>
<br> All the way my Saviour leads me;
<br> What have I to ask beside?
<br> Can I doubt His faithful mercies,
<br> Who through life has been my guide?
<br> Heav'nly peace, divinest comfort,
<br> Here by faith in Him do dwell;
<br> For I know whate'er befall me,
<br> Jesus doeth all things well.
<br>
<br> All the way my Saviour leads me,
<br> Cheers each winding path I tread;
<br> Gives me strength for every trial,
<br> Feeds me with the living bread.
<br> Though my weary steps may falter,
<br> And my soul athirst may be,
<br> Gushing from the Rock before me,
<br> Lo, a spring of joy I see.
<br>
<br> All the way my Saviour leads me,
<br> O the fullness of His love!
<br> Perfect rest to me is promised,
<br> In my Father's house above;
<br> When my spirit, clothed immortal,
<br> Wings its flight to realms of day,
<br> This my song through endless ages:
<br> "Jesus led me all the way."

<br>*** Prayer For You ***
<br>
<br>Your Intellect Alone Is Not Enough
<br>NOTE: When you read this prayer, try to imagine hearing my voice as I
<br>speak
<br>it to you. In this way, the prayer is reactivated, and it is the same
<br>as if I were actually praying for you at that moment.
<br>(Just like television prayers are reactivated when you watch
<br>them, although the videotape may have been shot years before.)
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br> "Your Intellect Alone Is Not Enough"
<br>
<br> "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine
<br> own understanding." (Proverbs 3:5 KJV)
<br>
<br>
<br> Your intellect alone is not enough
<br> To guide you through this life you have on earth;
<br> For many of the world's most brilliant men
<br> Are lost, like drunkards stumbling through the night.
<br>
<br> But once the Holy Spirit dwells in you,
<br> He lights your path, illuminates the dark,
<br> He gives you answers to your deepest quests,
<br> Where intellect alone would surely fail.
<br>
<br> And so I pray the Lord will dwell in you,
<br> And let His holy presence guide your life.
<br> Then if you ask your mind for its assent
<br> Your mind will cheerfully affirm His truths.
<br>
<br> In Jesus' name I pray for you, Amen.

<br>How To Find A Real, Live Church
<br>An online church is better than no church at all; but it is even better
<br>for most Christians to actually belong to a real, live church, with real,
<br>live people. Then, you can have your real church PLUS your online church,
<br>so you gain the benefits of both. You can find a church for yourself by

<br>*** Benediction ***
<br>
<br> I pray the Lord that He will lead your path
<br> Away from the temptations all around.
<br> I pray that when temptation lingers near,
<br> The Lord will lead you not into its reach.
<br> But if temptation grabs you as you pass,
<br> I pray the Lord that you will struggle free.
<br> In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

<br>No matter what terrible situation you are in, JESUS is the answer!

<br>The Bible says if you call on the name of the Lord, you will be saved.
<br>
<br>
<br> "For whosoever shall call upon the name of
<br> the LORD shall be saved." Romans 10:13 (KJV)
<br>
<br>Here is how to do it, for you . . .
<br>
<br>
<br> PRAY THIS PRAYER, DIRECTLY TO JESUS CHRIST, WHO WILL HEAR YOU
<br>
<br>
<br> "Lord Jesus, I need You.
<br> Lord Jesus, please have mercy on me, a sinner.
<br> As You forgave the woman caught in adultery, please forgive me.
<br> Lord Jesus, I know You can help me if You choose to do it.
<br> Lord Jesus, here is my request:
<br>
<br> (Then tell Him what you are asking for.)
<br>
<br>
<br> Thank you, Lord. I need Your help. Amen"
<br>
<br>
<br>Now I will add my prayer, supporting yours.
<br>
<br>
<br> Lord Jesus, I thank You for giving Yourself to
<br> us and making Yourself available to us as our
<br> personal Lord and Saviour. Please hear the prayers
<br> of the people using this page, and grant them
<br> whatever help they may need, regardless of any
<br> errors or flaws or sins or other imperfections
<br> they may have.
