Top Eight Tips For Doing Unto Others: Taking The Golden Rule of Jesus To The Next Level
The following are eight principles that work in almost all circumstances as we follow through on our commitment to treat others as we wish to be treated. I intended to use this in Sunday’s sermon but totally spaced it.
