He wants us to have a rich life, and He wants to be a part of that. It is our choice to include Him or exclude Him. As teacher, He shows us how to live and how to have a full, satisfying life.
The first step is the foundation, which is God. In order to build on top of that foundation, He has given me these precepts, these building blocks. I share them with you along with the challenge to seek for yourself and find the truth of them with Him.
precept: a guiding principle or rule, esp. one that guides personal conduct
Precept #1: ALL things are spiritual.
Precept #2: Things are not as they seem to be.
Precept #3: First things first--the inner first, then the outer. The outer without the inner is worthless.
"....do not worry saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?' Your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
But strive first for the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
Precept #4: If you don't make a decision, the decision is made for you.
"Whoever is not with me is against me."
Precept #5: If you wait to see, you've waited too long.
"We walk by faith, not by sight."
Precept #6: There is a better way.
Precept #7: There are no skipped steps; there are no shortcuts.
Precept #8: Just keep going.
Precept #9: Not a moment too soon, not a moment too late.
Precept #10: Stay in your own yard.
Precept #11: Do not add to; do not take away from.
Precept #12: In order to become a teacher, you must be willing to be taught.
"Everyone who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the wind blew upon that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock."
