When we evaluate the rightness or wrongness of actions or behavior, we need to ask ourselves if that behavior will edify — build up — ourselves or someone else, or if it will tear down. The question is not what we can get away with, but what is healthy and edifying. When it is all said and done, are we edified spiritually? Have we been built up and strengthened in our relationship with the Lord or with our spouse, or have we been weakened? Do we come away encouraged or discouraged, confident or filled with a sense of guilt or shame? Is our conscience clean?

Additional quotes by Myles Munroe

Love is an ongoing debt that we owe each other, a debt that should never be paid off. Paul made this clear when he wrote to the believers in Rome, “Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law” (Rom. 13:8). If we get into the habit of thinking of ourselves as always owing a debt of love to our spouses, we will be less inclined to take offense when they say or do something that we do not like.

You need to make sure you are in the Word when you come before God — that you’ve read the Word, that the Word is in you, that you are obeying the Word. Otherwise, you will enter God’s presence with your own ideas and attitudes.
