We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; in deed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul ... if there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Let all things be done in charity.



“Watch ye, stand fast in the faith … Let all your things be done with charity.” (1 Corinthians 16:13&14)  
What are we watching for? Ourselves? Yes. We are the only one who can change our heart. Only we and Christ know what we need to repent of and we are the only one who can make that repentance and accept the gift of Christ.
Stand fast in the faith. There are things that I know beyond a shadow of the doubt and yet on other things my faith wavers. It isn’t that I doubt God. I doubt my ability to comprehend. Is this thought from the Holy Spirit or another? Is this the answer to my prayer? Is this God’s will, or do I want this to happen so bad that I think it is from the Spirit? I am such a worry wart. If I go back to basics. If I am quiet and look inside myself, what I’m feeling and what I know then the answer comes to me.
Let all things be done in charity or love. Let it be Gods will for he knows all things. If I pray Lord MAKE this person do such and such, that prayer will not be answered. Lord show me how I need to change Help me to love this individual and show me what I need to do in love and according to thy will, is a much better approach.
