The Race of Faith
No Christian came into Christ to design how he’ll live before God. God had already set the race of faith even before we came into Christ through salvation.
Gentle Restoration
To bring gentle restoration to someone caught in sin, proclaim God’s forgiveness of sins upon his life and comfort him.
Honour Men of God
Honor men of God by supporting them both financially (if you’re able) and spiritually (in your prayers). Don’t be too focused on responding to his labour while neglecting the act of sowing into his life.

Build each other up by speaking edifying and encouraging words. You might not be in that person’s team, but your encouraging words can make an impact.
Hate Evil, Not Evildoers
As Christians, we must love everybody without hypocrisy. Hence, we shouldn’t love without hating all manner of wrongdoing. Hate evil, not evildoers.

Practice Hospitality
Each Christian needs to learn how to practice hospitality to all manner of people regardless of age, gender, and race, especially if such people are believers.
