Romans 15:1-2

For quite some time, I have been working with the boys and girl to build up their knowledge of Scripture and to have a high view of the magnificence of God. My hope is that they will see their brokenness before a holy and perfect God and cling to Christ for mercy and grace, not see themselves as "good" people who are Pharisaically better than others. They have internalized moral standards and are pretty consistent in not seeking after worldly friends and pleasures. BUT developing that compassionate, kind, love for others is not an easy endeavor. We'll keep working on it...
Romans 15:1-2
Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those without strength and not just please ourselves. Each of us is to please his neighbor for his good, to his edification.
