'Our Gold Standard:' - Luke 6:31

[Jesus said,] "Do to others as you would like them to do to you."

Luke 6:31 NLT

Key Thought


Some principles are the center around which other principles turn. They capture the truth in a succinct, and yet profound, way. The "Golden Rule" is one of those principles. It is the gold standard of relationship principles. This short principle defines what it means to love our neighbors as ourselves and opens our motives and behaviors up to self-scrutiny. Now, if we will only live this principle in every area of life ... like when we drive, and when we talk to family members, and when we are asked to forgive someone, and when we are ready to gossip or to condemn another's motives, and ...

Today's Prayer


Father, may I truly and fully understand this profound principle and practice it in every aspect of my daily life. Move through your Holy Spirit in me to conform me more completely into the embodiment of this principle your Son both taught and lived. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen.
