Introduction

Everyone comes from different walks of life doing whatever we were taught or observed growing up, however it’s very important to have structure and order in our lives, homes, neighborhoods, ministries, workplaces….

We should know the proper way to conduct ourselves, also teach our children to do the same and realize this world does not revolve around just you or me, thus being mindful of other people in our midst.

Providing basic do’s and don’ts, etiquette skills, and tips on how to live peaceably with all people will aid in this process.

Why are do’s and don’ts important?

Do’s and don’ts basically lets us know what we should and should not do in various situations.

Why is etiquette important?

Etiquette is important because it implies polite behavior and helps to build relationships with people whether it is in the workplace or at the ministry we attend. Etiquette is one way to show respect for other people and to request respect from other people.

Why is it important to live peaceably with all people?

According to the scripture – Romans 12:18;

If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

As believers, we should live peaceably with all people. This would include our brothers and sisters in Christ, as well as unbelievers. Another way to read this command might be, Never let yourself be the reason for an un-peaceful relationship with another person.

In order for us to live this way we must be willing to admit our wrongs, to apologize, to make things right, and to forgive.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DAYS WHERE EVERYONE TREATED THEIR FELLOW MAN WITH LOVE AND RESPECT?

God would be very pleased if we behaved in a manner that glorified Him.

This book unzips an abundance of tools and other resources to help you maneuver and maximize your lives more effectively and provides instructions on how to be considerate of others in various situations and environments.
