Dear friend, don't let this bad example influence you. Follow only what is good. Remember that those who do good prove that they are God's children, and those who do evil prove that they do not know God. (NLT) -3 John 1:11 We've all seen or heard of bad examples of Christians. Sometimes we even allow their example to influence our thoughts of God. It makes it difficult, but don't let that allow you to stray from following God and His truth. Put their example out of your mind and know that their actions reflect their distance from God. Don't let this bad example influence you.

Don't be selfish; don't try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. (NLT) -Philippians 2:3 How can we not be selfish? That's difficult when the overwhelming majority of our thoughts are about ourselves. The second half of this verse has the answer. When we think of others more often than ourselves we battle with our selfishness. It's not asking us to think badly of ourselves, but instead to think higher of others. This can mean we give others the benefit of the doubt, release our grudges, and pay attention to the thoughtfulness others extend to us. Work today towards thinking of others more.
