surrounding Jesus’ return should not
make a difference in how we are living
our lives in the meantime. The only
thing that matters is loving God, loving
people, and leaving our circumstances
up to him.
6. #SUSO
compromising what is right in the
sight of God. It is entirely possible to
be tolerant of someone’s views that
may differ from yours without that
tolerance being an endorsement of
their behavior. We can fight the good
fight without getting into fights that
result from a lack of humble courage.
Use #SUSO (Stand Up, Speak Out)

to Christian maturity, manners, and
healthy relationships. Each of us needs
to rediscover the power of an apology.
And we all need to make apologizing
part of each day, as appropriate.
7. Remember, It’s Humble Courage
We can love people without
Are you a model others can follow in
good conscience? Don’t blame other
people for being a problem if you’re
not making a sincere effort to be the
change you want to see in others. Take
responsibility for the condition of your
life, family, church, and our nation, and
stop blaming others.
9. Apologize, Mean It, and Make
Amends
10. Forgive People . . . Genuinely
Like apologizing, genuine forgiveness
is also rare these days, and we need
“
A small, committed, unified minority can move
the majority to take action, and don’t let anyone
tell you otherwise.”
