Have to or get to?

peterTherefore, my dear friends, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. 1 Cor 15:58 NIV

What a difference a word can make! Ask the kids to clean up their room: "Awe mum, do I have to?" Ask a friend to go to a movie some evening and the reply might be: "Sorry, I have to work."

Seeing your way clearly.

peterTrust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Prov 3:5-6

Take a closer look!

peterWhen I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers - the moon and the stars you have set in place - what are mortals that you should think of us, Ps 8:3-4

Good examples!

peterIn everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech… Titus 2:7-8

Where would we be without them… good examples that is?
Growing up, parents tell us to be a good example. Parents are happy when we have friends who are good examples. We are happy when we have good examples to encourage us and help us along life’s winding path.
