Blessed are you when they revile

and persecute you, and say all kinds of

evil against you falsely for my sake

...

Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for

great is your reward in heaven.

Our third example of a code of conduct is

from Galatians 6:22-23 -- the well known

passage on

"The Fruits of the Spirit:" "But the

fruit of the Spirit · is love, joy, peace,

longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

gentleness, and self-control. Against such

there is no law."

How many other examples

could you find?

Here is

"THE DISCIPLE'S CHARGE (author

unknown):"

I'm part of the fellowship of the

unashamed. The die has been cast. I

have stepped over the line.

The

decision has been made. I'm

a

disciple

of His. I won't look back, let up, slow

down, back away, or be still.

My past is redeemed; my present

makes sense; my future is secure. I'm

finished. I'm done with low living, sight

walking, small planning, smooth knees,

colorless dreams, tame v1s1ons,

mundane talking, chintzy giving, or

dwarf goals.
