How much better to get wisdom than gold!  – Proverbs 16:16

Blessed Are the Merciful[1] – “In short, mercy withholds the kind of abusive, manipulative, vengeful, and selfish ways people frequently treat one another. In fact, our relationships ought to be marked by a consistent pattern of mercy for others’ flaws and faults.”

How to Grow in Grace: Step 4[2] – Tim Lane stresses how Scripture calls us to robust self-examination. “Take a moment to see how your unproductive and/or ungodly responses to your circumstances are potentially making things worse.”

Discipleship According to the Scriptures[3] – “Discipleship does not just happen. We need to be intentional about cultivating deep, honest relationships in which we do spiritual good to other Christians.”
