The Lord doesn't make suggestions

                                            THE LAW of the LORD is PERFECT

Psalm 19:1-- 14  The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. 

2  Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. 

3  There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. ....

19:7  The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; 

8  the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; 

9  the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether. 

10  More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb. 

11  Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. .... 

19:14  Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer. 

Use God's Word (Gospel) to become fishers of people

                               Luke 5:1-11  (Jesus calls the disciples to be fishers of men)

Luke 5:10  .... And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.”

Do Not Judge

Luke 6:37-42 “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; 
38  give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” .....
41  Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
Matthew 7:4-5 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? 
5  You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. 

Being a true Christian

                                On being a True Christian Paul writes in Romans 12:9-21

Romans 12:9  Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 

10  Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. 

11  Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. 

12  Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. 

13  Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. 

14  Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 

15  Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 

16  Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. 

17  Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 

18  If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 

19  Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 

20  To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 

21  Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
