Ephesians 5:9 For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth

Romans 12:5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. 6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; 7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; 8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. 9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; 11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. 14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Wow! If we could only just follow those rules!

Rules:

1. Be kind... Please no slamming, flaming or YELLING at each other. Needless to say keep the language clean.

2. False doctrine will not be allowed with exception of discussion in the appropriate area.

3. When posting news articles, links must be provided and please use reputable sources.

4. Be sure your post is in the designated area.

5. No advertising, that includes your signature line.

It is my hope and prayer that I won't need to add more rules! If we each behave in an appropriate way that is consistent with allowing others to see Christ in us....it shouldn't be necessary to have 50 rules.
