HOW DOES GOD COMMUNICATE? 1 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; HEBREWS 1:1-2 (NKJV)
HOW SHOULD WE COMMUNICATE? 9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, 12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. COLOSSIANS 3:9,12-13 (NKJV)
