Transformative Truth:

Talk Constructively

Be gracious like God in how you talk and treat others.

Treat Others Kindly

The kindness we express to others is an extension of the kindness that God has lavished on us, in Christ.

Transformative Truth:

1. Stop stealing.

Redeemed hands work hard and open wide.

2. Start working. 

3. Share generously.

Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. - 2 Corinthians 9:7-8

If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. - James 2:14-16

Redeemed hands work hard and open wide.

Transformative Truth:

The Premise

The Prohibition

You cannot bear to hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. - John 8:43-44

The Precept

The Perspective

Having rejected the lie and embraced the truth, speak accordingly.
