If you are humble, you give God the credit for the good things you do. If you are filled with envy and ambition, you think you can do it all by yourself. You must admit to yourself that God is the only one in charge.

We want everything to be easy. But we must realize that listening is not enough. Action and faith are required...maybe in the other order.

We must repent and truly repent before we can be Christians..followers of Christ. Many do no think about this. It is an ongoing thing..each time we sin, we must repent and try to do better.

He is taking over. He does not want anyone to point out where he is wrong. This can happen but doesn't have to ,The leader must remain humble and focussed on the will of God.

Cain resented Abel seeming to be more favoured. He got angry and jealous. We must realize that if we do what is right all the time(Well as best we can) others will be upset.

We must be ready at any time for the second coming..so we had best try to overcome our sinful ways and ask forgiveness often. By God's grace, we will be forgiven.

We must pray, read scripture and other Christian writing, meet with other Christians...always keep Jesus in our day to day life. When we get too busy with the things of this world..our daily grind...we do not abide in Jesus and He in us.

The Holy Spirit is always there to help us make the right choices...but we have to listen .

The anti-christ at the end of the world will be more obvious than the little ones that creep into everyday life..but perhaps not much more dangerous to our souls. We must be on the alert, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to decern the true followers of Christ and listen to them only. This is not easy.

We must always love first. We must be humble and sincere.It is not just the rules,but the spirit of the rules and how we apply them Rememer that God id in control and God loves each of us.

Jesus will intercede for us. He has dided to wah away our sins. But it grieves God and Jesus when we sin, so we must honestly try not to.

As a Catholic, I find confessing to the priest is very good for me even though it is a hard thing to do. I have to face the truth of what I have done and what I have failed to do. It makes me stop and think. I also ask God's forgiveness on a regular basis, whenever I catch myself doing something against His teaching. That is pretty often. and I think we must honestly try to do better in the future...must keep on trying.If we stop confessing our sins, the bad habits will just seem ordinary after a while. If we confess, we will be forgiven.

We are often reluctant to share our lives at a deep level. With time, we get to know others in our group better and may open up. If one member is brave enough to share at a deeper level, it will encourage others to do the same. I could be that one.

We should only do things for God and not seek to gain others' favour. We must always think about our motives and try to serve only God. Be quiet and not flashy. Be there to help and to comfort and to be a friend...don't expect praise or even thanks. Sometimes churches get so caught up in pomp and ceremony as well as trying to force people to give more..that they do not encourage people to act out of love..but for show, recognition or fame..

This was to regulate our retaliation. We should leave punishmeant up to the courts and ultimately to God. It does not mean to literally hurt others.

We should say what we mean or intend to do and then keep our word. If we did this, we would live in an honest, trusting world.

We must use our sexual desires only with our spouse. We are one only after our marriage.

**** is a serious sin.We are to take it seriously...it is practically the same as adultry. It is a mortal sin. Only by God's love and with the help of the Holy Spirit can we resist this sin. We are all guilty at some level...if we haven't done it, we have probably wanted to at some point in our life. We must be truly repentant and acept God's forgiveness.

It is wrong to **** and to take advantage of others.There are victums..the girls forced into this, the wives shamed by their husbands acitions and the children troubled by broken homes.

Just don't go there. Watch only good shows and don't look for junk online.

Adultery is the act but **** is the desire. The desire can easily lead to the act. We must fight the wrong before it gets out of hand.

Anger is the root of murder. If we do not control our anger, we may get to the point of actual murder.Sometimes angry words can deeply hurt another. I think murder is still worse but anger is not okay. We would try a lot harder to control our anger if we thought it was the same thing as murder.

We don't hear much about the Old Testament these days but we do know that we must follow the Ten Commmandments. I do not agree with the idea that we are saved by grace and there fore any thing goes. If we are really saved and really believe, then we must try our hardest to live a moral life according to these commandments.
