Daily Reminder of How to Treat One Another
Daily Reminder of How to Treat One Another
Stuart Scott, who teaches biblical counseling at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, has a book titled The Exemplary Husband (Bemidji, MN: Focus Publishing, 2002). Appendix four of the book (pages 319-321) is called “Daily Reminder of How to Treat One Another.” Although he wrote this specifically for husbands to guide them regarding how to treat their wives, the counsel is helpful for everyone. I am passing it on to you with the confidence that you will find it instructive and beneficial in all your dealings with others.
