This document discusses the importance of having the right attitude based on Christ's example. It outlines four areas where developing the proper attitude is key: having an attitude of faith, thankfulness and constancy in prayer; manifesting the right generous attitude toward giving as Christ did; having an attitude of worship in spirit and truth toward God; and accepting corrective discipline from fellow Christians with the right perspective. The overall message is that having the right attitude, based on Christ's example, is necessary to move forward spiritually.

led into sin, I burn on the inside.
