‪Preferences are what you feel comfortable with; don’t demand them of others, standards are what God has ask of you.‬

‪God’s standards are in the Bible; man’s preferences are in the church doctrines, rules and regulations.‬

‪If the church has to tell you how to dress and how to live, likely it is their preference.‬

‪Few lose their way when they are focus on their chosen task. ‬

‪Many lose their way when focused on someone else’s task. ‬

‪Tolerance and patience are gifts you wish others had and you did not need.‬

‪Often, it seems easier to live with a wrong, in your life, than it is to change that behavior. ‬

Grace is both the power to change and the determination to stand firm.
