Principle #1: Your greatest act of worship before the Lord is to lay down your need to be right or vindicated and choose to love sacrificially as Christ has loved you.
Principle #2: Thankfulness marks the life of the Christian; filthiness is of the world.
Principle #3: Evil is exposed when you shine the light of Christ. Let the fruit of the light be seen in you.
Principle #4: The foolish waste their days pursuing this world while the wise make the most of this life pursuing the heart and will of God.
