As Christians we are called to care - Especially for each other
When we see warning as a negative thing we will:
Use it in spite - warn them, not hoping they will change but rather just to say “I told you so”
Be afraid to warn - because it might upset them because warning involves taking a “right/wrong” “Benefit/Hurtful” stance

Have & Express Joy

Christians should bear certain marks
These things cannot be faked
They constancy of these things will always reveal the heart when having to express them in tough times (Joy, Prayerfulness, Thankfulness)
Looking for God’s Will? (Demystification of God’s Will)
Start here: if you don’t follow Christ, then start by following Him
If you do follow Christ, then get in community and do these things and watch where that takes you
