These rules to live by are like the ten commandments. Life will be better for you and your loved ones if you follow these rules to live by, the Ten Commandments, The Golden Rule, and understand we are all brothers and sisters in spirit.
1] Prayer is not a “spare wheel” that you pull out when in trouble, but it is a “steering wheel” that directs the right path throughout the journey.
2] So why is a Car’s WINDSHIELD so large and the Rear View Mirror so small?
Because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE. So, Look Ahead and Move forward. Focus on your future, not your past.
3] Friendship, like trust, is like a BOOK. It takes a few minutes to burn, but it takes years to write.
4] All things in life are temporary. If going well, enjoy it, they will not last forever. If going wrong, don’t worry, they can’t last long either.
5] Old Friends are Gold! New Friends are Diamond! If you get a Diamond, don’t forget the Gold! Because to hold a Diamond, you always need a Base of Gold!
6] Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from above and says, “Relax, my child, it’s just a bend, not the end!
7] When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; when GOD doesn’t solve your problems, HE has faith in your abilities.
8] A blind person asked St. Anthony: “Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?” He replied: “Yes, losing your vision!”
9] When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.
10] WORRYING does not take away tomorrow’s TROUBLES, it takes away today’s PEACE.
If you enjoy this, please share with those you love and care about and encourage them to join the Geneva Institute ministry and share our message of love, hope and wisdom. It may just brighten someone’s day. Live simply. Love generously, care deeply, speak kindly. Then, leave the rest to God.
Written over the course of almost a century after Jesus’ death, the four gospels of the New Testament, though they tell the same story, reflect very different ideas and concerns.
The first attempt to tell the story of the life and the death of Jesus, this narrative began the gospel tradition.
Writing for a Jewish Christian audience, Matthew’s main concern is to present Jesus as a teacher even greater than Moses.
This gospel tries to answer the question, “Can Christians who believe in the Kingdom of God also be loyal subjects of the Roman Empire?”
The so-called “spiritual gospel” which presents Jesus as the “Stranger from Heaven,” stands apart from the other three.
How the four gospels we know as the New Testament were chosen from dozens of versions of Jesus’ story.
