Where the Real News is the Good News

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.

The name of the Lord is a fortified tower;
    the righteous run to it and are safe.

For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,

If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.

Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Take delight in the Lord,
    and he will give you the desires of your heart.
