Guidelines For Christian Living

Christianity is a lifelong journey of drawing nearer to God and as we grow closer to Him, we become Christ-like in our actions and attitudes.
Billy Graham shares 10 Guidelines For Christian Living which can be used to assist us as we grow in the Lord.
1. Read the Bible daily. The spiritual life needs food and nourishment.
2. Learn to Pray. Prayer combined with Bible study makes for a healthy Christian life.
3. Rely on the Holy Spirit. Christ dwells in Christians through the Holy Spirit. Ask Him to take over and guide our lives.
4. Attend Church Regularly. Christianity is a religion of fellowship. The visible church is a place where we gather to worship God, learn from His Word and fellowship with other Christians.
5. Be A Witnessing Christian.
6. Let Us Love. Let love be the ruling principle of your life.
7. Be an Obedient Christian. Let Christ have first place in all the choices of you life.
8. Learn How To Meet Temptation. Temptation is natural and of itself is not sin. It is yielding to temptation that is sin.
9. Be A Wholesome Christian. May we strive to be chivalrous, courteous, clean of body, pure of mind, poised and gracious. Our lives and appearance should commend the gospel and make it attractive to others.
10. Live Above Your Circumstances. God made you as you are. He placed you where you are. The best place for you to serve and glorify Him is where you are. Learn to live graciously within your circumstances, realizing the Lord Himself is with you.
