Philippians 2:1-4   …… The MIND…

 

 

  • Is my mind affectionate and sympathetic toward others who view things different from me?
  • Do I seek in my mind to understand them?
  • Am I humble in my thinking to accept where someone else may be without casting a judgment on them?
  • Is my mind willing to do the diligent work of thinking and pondering how I can walk with others regardless of where they are at in their thinking, for as long as it takes until they can be encouraged or comforted or strengthened and we can participate together in the Spirit?

 

Colossians 3:12-17…….. The HEART

 

  • Is my heart compassionate, kind, humble, meek and patient?
  • Is my heart a forgiving heart, especially when I’m judged for my views?
  • Is my heart positioned to love, (that is to lay down my life and all this could mean…. Face masks..) for the benefit of others.
  • Is my heart full of God’s Word? Is what overflows out of me God’s precious truths or my views….
  • Is my heart Thankful?

 

 

Ephesians 4:1-3….. The WALK… 

 

  • Does my life reflect that I understand who I was and still would be apart from Jesus?
  • Does my like reflect the mercy and grace and patience and compassion and kindness that Jesus continually expresses to me?
  • Does my life have any evidences that I am “bearing with”…. Walking through life with someone who is different simply because I love them?
  • What is the goal of my walk with my brothers and sisters in the Lord? Is it to display Jesus our Savoir by being perfectly unified even amongst all the ways that we are different?
