Hi Alysse, welcome my friend!! You are right, a true christian utilizes the fruits of the spirit, and these include:

Galatians 5: 22,23   22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,  23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

It is very important, that we, who call ourselves christians, should live what we preach. If a person says he is a vegetarian, and then he goes out and eats meat, are you going to listen to what he has to say? Probably not. Like you said, when a person opens his mouth, you find out quickly what he is really made of.

Thank you so much for your input. I look forward to seeing you again!

Hello James,

You are so special, thank you,

Kathy Hamilton

Hi Kathy, thanks for stopping by my friend!

James, you are very wise and knowledgeable with the Bible and all of the verses.

If you do not mind me asking, are you a Bible Study Conductor or a Minister?  I would be very interested in attending any online Bible Studies that you may provide.

Alysse, I am just a lowly air ambulance pilot. I was raised in the mission field in Africa, and my father is a retired reverand. I guess some of it rubbed off on me. I love sharing the bible with others!!!

My current bible study began with this link:
