The Tips
Top 25 Life Tips – C. Custer – 4/19/26
1. Trust God – Isaiah 26:3 – You will keep in perfect peace he whose mind is steadfast, because
he trusts in you.
2. Seek God. Daily Prayer. Daily Bible Reading. Join a Bible-believing church. Memorize
Scripture. Sing to God. Relationship with Jesus – life’s goal.
3. Money: Live on 80%, save 10%, give 10% of the gross. Avoid debt. Buy cars known for
reliability and keep them a long time.
4. Exercise: Do it. Strength and cardio. Several times a week. Don’t make it too hard so that
you dread it. Good for attitude adjustment and a fun life.
5. Avoid anger. James 1:20 – Man’s anger does not produce the righteousness that God
desires.
6. 1 Peter 2:23 – Don’t defend yourself (verbally). When others attack you, reply with “Tell me
more.”
7. Say, “Please forgive me.” Say it often. Don’t require anyone else to say this to you. When
others offend you, pray that God will bless them and look for an opportunity to do good to
them. Don’t fall for the trap of bitterness.
8. Work like you are doing it for Jesus, because you are. Pray for bosses, leaders and co-
workers. Do everything with integrity. Colossians 3:23 – Whatever you do, work at it with
all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.
9. Don’t work at your job in excess for too long. Maintain some work-life balance. Keep the
sabbath.
10. Find out what you think you do well and what others say you do well. Do that.
11. Be a lifelong learner. Read good books.
12. Before major decisions, check with God-loving, wise friends. Pursue good friendships.
13. Do the next thing, especially when you do not know what else to do. Take the next step.
Isaiah 30:21 - Whether you turn to the right or to the left, you will hear a voice behind you,
saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”
14. Help others. Serve others. Be a servant leader. It will bless you more than them.
15. Catch people doing something good. Tell them. Encouragement can change lives.
16. Be friendly
17. Enjoy nature
18. Be friends before you are romantically involved with someone. Get to know them without
the pressure of a relationship.
19. Sex is only for marriage. Life begins at conception. If you have sex, prepare for kids.
20. You cannot change anyone other than yourself, especially your spouse. Christians marry
Christians in obedience to the Lord.
21. Love and respect your wife out of reverence for the Lord (Ephesians 5:21). Take her out.
Take her on trips. Leave the kids regularly to be with your wife. The best way you can love
your kids is by loving their mother.

23. You will not struggle with addictions that you never start. Run from evil.
24. Be thankful and pray with thanksgiving. Think about good things. Philippians 4:4-8.
