Principles for Living an Authentic Christian Life
1. Everything should be done to the glory of God ... Not for self pleasure or approval of others.
- when people look at my life what do they see?
2. Speak with honesty and love
- how?
- not by flattery but by being truthful
3. Be transparent in relationships
- don't hide behind mask
- get comfy in your own skin
4. Be humble
5. Be gentle and not harsh (v. 7)
6. Be sacrificially involved with one another (v. 8)

Preach the gospel at all times and when necessary use words. St. Francis of Assisi
