Have Biblical Standards!


I as an individual am salt in the world just by being a Christian man or woman: by having biblical standards of honesty, standards of diligence on my job, standards of conscientiousness, not being lazy. I must have the standard o purity in speech, rejecting smutty humor. I should be the last to return a barbed reply. The believer cannot depart from the standard of strict honesty. He cannot lower his/her moral standards in the entertainment he/she uses. He/she cannot flirt with infidelity to his/her wedding vows.
