Bible Lesson: Marks Of Godly Character Versus Marks Of Non-Christian Character: Tact Versus Indiscretion.
Bible Texts:
Tact:
I Corinthians 9:19-23 NLT
19 Even though I am a free man with no master, I have become a slave to all people to bring many to Christ.
20 When I was with the Jews, I lived like a Jew to bring the Jews to Christ. When I was with those who follow the Jewish Law, I too lived under that Law. Even though I am not subject to The Law, I did this so I could bring to Christ those who are under The Law.
21 When I am with the Gentiles who do not follow the Jewish Law, I too live apart from that Law so I can bring them to Christ. But I do not ignore The Law Of God; I obey The Law Of Christ.
22 When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some.
23 I do everything to spread The Good News and share in its blessings.
Indiscretion:

22 Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.
