The point that stuck out to me was that we should keep other brothers and sisters in Christ accountable and help them through difficult times or times of sin. We are to care for them and carry their burden with them. For me it is a true picture of a family and being there for one another.

I agree and think so often times we don't want to share our burdens when in reality there are more times than not that others people are experiencing the same thing. We sometimes think that we are too good to share what we may be going through and also on the flip side we sometimes think we are better than that person that is sharing. We are not more important for than them and we shouldn't judge them based at all. We should be humble and praise them for being honest and open about their problems not judging.
I like 4-5 as well and I think often times we base our success as a whole and not on personal success. Just because someone scores better or does better in a game or something doesn't mean anything we know where we stand and can be satisfied of a job well done. We are responsible for ourselves and what we can do giving the most effort that we can.
I think one final take away from this Book is 6:10. Therefore whenever we have the opportunity,, we should do good to everyone- especially to those in the family of faith. This group and our church is a family of faith we need to be open honest not judging in anything. Doing good to all casting aside any differences we may have.

The first part says. We should not boast or compare our selves to others nor boast about ourselves. We need to teach other about the word making sure we are not tempted in to sin.
The second part talks about how things on the outside don't matter. They used circumcision as an example. A more current example might be wearing a cross around your neck. Really all that matters is what you believe in your heart.
