The highest form of treason is to steal the Lord’s glory
Do not desire the praise that belongs to God only
Let another praise you and not your own tongue
With your words you can be saved or you can be hung

Do not use God’s power to draw people to you
In humility of soul give the Lord His due
The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold
A man is tested by the praise he is told

Don’t let ambition control you or vain conceit
Consider others better or you’ll walk in deceit 
Those who desire greatness must be the servant of all
Glorify the Lord and in your own eyes be small
