The Christian who walks in the love of God will put other's needs ahead of their own.
Philippians 2:4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
Caring for others is important, but it's also important that our lives are pleasing to the Lord. We are His.
1 Corinthians 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
The plans we make in 2015 should be tagged with "if it be God's will. Do they fit God's purpose for our lives?" If you're not sure, ask the Lord.
Whether we grasp it or not; whether people teach it or not; Jesus is Lord. His function as Savior can't be separated from His function as Lord.
If we live lives that honor Him, He will take care of every situation.
