You can tell a lot about someone by how they treat their spiritual parents.

Live in such a way that people will not believe any false accusations against you.

Our church is built around helping you, helping others and bringing glory to God.

Be careful with your words. Once spoken, they cannot be unspoken, only forgiven.

Our words can drive people away from you and will drive people away from God.

Loving God and loving others makes for a better life, a better church and a better world.

The heart of the matter is the matter of the human heart.

Some of you admit I was not a burden to you. But others still think I was sneaky and took advantage of you by trickery.

But how? Did any of the men I sent to you take advantage of you?

12 When I urged Titus to visit you and sent our other brother with him, did Titus take advantage of you? No! For we have the same spirit and walk in each other's steps, doing things the same way.

Perhaps you think we're saying these things just to defend ourselves. No, we tell you this as Christ's servants, and with God as our witness. Everything we do, dear friends, is to strengthen you.

For I am afraid that when I come I won't like what I find, and you won't like my response. I am afraid that I will find quarreling, jealousy, anger, selfishness, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorderly behavior.

Yes, I am afraid that when I come again, God will humble me in your presence. And I will be grieved because many of you have not given up your old sins. You have not repented of your impurity, sexual immorality, and eagerness for lustful pleasure.

36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.  38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."

I don't want what you have--I want you.
