How We Act Toward Others - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

The measure of our faith
when we claim His name
offering love to others
not by the words we say
How we act toward others
in the quiet of our walk
offering love to each brother
to each sister on the way

James 3:1-18
Matthew 18:15-22
Romans 12:17-18
Matthew 5:24
and second in a two-part sermon series entitled
“Sensitivity Training II: When Church Folk Don’t Get Along.”
Peter said he “was not preaching this sermon because we are having difficulty with this issue. I am preaching it because I firmly believe the best time to consider matters such as this is when tensions are not high and we can reflect on good spiritual practices that can keep our relationships healthy. The middle part of Matthew 18 offers a good plan for conflict resolution.”
