Changing the world, one WORD at a time…

 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 

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.

just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

Teach me to do your will,
    for you are my God;
may your good Spirit
    lead me on level ground.

“In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,

 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.

Righteousness guards the person of integrity,
    but wickedness overthrows the sinner.

Whoever pursues righteousness and love
    finds life, prosperity and honor.

However, as it is written:

“What no eye has seen,
    what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”—
    the things God has prepared for those who love him—

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful;he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
    and he will establish your plans.

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.

for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

You will keep in perfect peace
    those whose minds are steadfast,
    because they trust in you.

Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
