About This Quote
The Bible speaks of the importance of being respectful to one another. It says, "If we have reverence for God, we will have respect for one another." The Bible also says, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." One simple rule can set the tone for our entire life. How do you treat other people? How do you treat the homeless? The poor? How do you treat others if you are in a position of authority over them? Some people say that the Bible is full of difficult rules. That is not true. The Bible is full of simple rules that can make life easier and more enjoyable.
