Tire Gauge Prop - This is how you tell how much air

pressure you have in your tire. You can examine this

tool and know exactly where your tires are, how to

adjust them to perform better, last longer, and not

promote failure.

● A tire has two jobs...provide traction and comfort.

● w/o the proper inflation it is unable to perform its

purpose.

Christians have two jobs...love God and people...without

proper development we are unable to perform our

purpose.

A good gauge on how you are performing these tasks is

how you treat other people.

● 1 Tim 2:1 Therefore I exhort first of all that

supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of

thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all

who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and

peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 3 For

this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our

Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to

come to the knowledge of the truth.

● 2 Peter 3:9 not willing that any should perish but

that all should come to repentance

● John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave

His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in

Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17

For God did not send His Son into the world to

condemn the world, but that the world through

Him might be saved.

● This is the will of God...that anyone and everyone

would go from the kingdom of darkness into the

kingdom of light...and that those in the light would

go from being carnal to being spiritual.

● 1 Cor 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not

envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not

rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered,

it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not

delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It

always protects, always trusts, always hopes,

always perseveres. 8 Love never fails.

● These are attributes of God, as we progress from

being carnal into spiritual these traits will be

visible in our lives.

● Gal 5:22 love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness,

goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, & self-control.

● Luke 6:32 But if you love those who love you, what

credit is that to you? For even sinners love those

who love them. 33 And if you do good to those

who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For

even sinners do the same. 34 And if you lend to

those from whom you hope to receive back, what

credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to

sinners to receive as much back. 35 But love your

enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in

return; and your reward will be great, and you will

be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the

unthankful and evil. 36 Therefore be merciful, just

as your Father also is merciful. 37 "Judge not, and

you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you

shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be

forgiven.

● Rom 12:14 Bless those who persecute you; bless

and do not curse.
