Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that’s where the action is.

See things from his perspective.

Do you want to be counted wise, to build a reputation for wisdom?

Here’s what you do: Live well, live wisely, live humbly.

It’s the way you live, not the way you talk, that counts.
