Love One Another

(The Admonition)

Angry words! O let them never, From the tongue unbridled slip, May the hearts best impulse ever, Check them ere they soil the lip. (The Reason to Love) Love is much too pure and holy, Friendship is too sacred far, For a moments reckless folly, Thus to desolate and mar. (The Hurt That Is Done) Angry words are lightly spoken, Bitterest thoughts are rashly stirred, Brightest links of life are broken, By a single angry word. (The Solution) Love one another thus saith the Savior, Children obey the Fathers blest command, Love each other, love each other, Tis the Fathers blest command.

THE SURPASSING VALUE OF KNOW ING CHRIST More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ.
Philippians 3:8

THE SURPASSING VALUE OF LIFE OVER POSSESSIONS For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.
Luke 12:23

THE SURPASSING VALUE OF RIGHTEOUS LIVING To do righteousness and justice is desired by the L O RD more than sacrifice.
Proverbs 21:3

Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from the heart.
1 Peter 1:22

THE SURPASSING VALUE OF ETERNAL GLORY For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison.

Dont settle for anything less than that which is beyond com parison!
