"I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have complete confidence that they understand God’s mysterious plan, which is Christ himself. In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." Colossians 2:2-3 NLT

"See that none render evil for evil unto any man."-2 Thessalonians 5:15
It does not improve a bad situation to take revenge on someone who has done evil to you. With God’s help it is possible to return good for evil. Sometimes the person doing the harmful deed is ashamed of his actions when an act of kindness and forgiveness is shown toward him. Jesus was a good example to us: he had pity, forgiveness, and love in his heart for those who injured him. Proverbs 20:22

Lord, teach us to pray. (Luke 11:1)
IN brief, our prayers, to be acceptable to God, must express confident faith, loving esteem and reverence, full sympathy with the divine plan and submission to the divine will, childlike dependence upon God, acknowledgment of sins and shortcomings and desire for forgiveness, with humble craving for the divine guidance and protection. These may not always all be expressed in words, but such must at least be the attitude of the soul. "Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, uttered or unexpressed."

If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. John 7:17
WE BELIEVE that without a love for truth none will be favored with the light of "present truth." More than this, we hold that if sincere love fortruth--honesty of thought and deed--be yielded, sacrificed to pride, ambition, vainglory, or any other thing, the result will be the loss of present truth. Let us ever keep in memory our Lord's message through the apostle, that now in the end of this age he will send strong delusion, that all may believe a lie who have pleasure in untruth--who received not the truth in the love of it. Let us guard our consciences, realizing that their perversion would surely work our injury, our alienation from the Lord, and our rejection from his service now and hereafter.
