Gift Of Example





















"The most valuable gift you can give another is a good example."

"For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you." John 13:15

"You can win more friends with your ears (eyes) than with your mouth."

"Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath." James 1:19b

"Never pass up a chance to keep your mouth shut."

"Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed as a man of understanding." Proverbs 17:28

And the negative....

"A critical spirit is like poison ivy - it only takes a little contact to spread its poison."

"But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness, and their talk will spread like gangrene." 2 Timothy 2:16, 17a (nasb)

"The most valuable gift you can give another is a good example." Jesus is our perfect example.

Each of you should look after not only your own interests, but the interests of others.

Don't think only about your own affairs, but be interested in others, too, and what they are doing. Philippians 2:4

Go out of your way for a neighbor. Love your neighbor as you would love yourself.

The second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' No other commandment is greater than these." Mark 12:37

I did not come to be served, but to serve, and give my life as ransom to many. Mark 10:45
