Nancy: Are you quick to humble yourself and ask forgiveness when you’ve done something wrong?
Man: First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. (Matt. 5:24)
Nancy: Do you build other people up through words of praise, appreciation, and admiration?
Man: Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion. (Eph. 4:29)
Nancy: Are you quick to say “thank you” for everything God’s given you?
Man: Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts . . . and be thankful. (Col. 3:15)
