Paul writes in his letter to the Galatians…

“You, my brothers, were called to be free.  But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.  The entire law is summed up in a single command:  ‘Love your neighbor as yourself’.  If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.”

Galatians 5:13-15

“Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.  Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.  Know that the Lord is God.  It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.  Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.  For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.”

Psalm 100

“The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit will reap eternal life.  Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

Faith In Action

“My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.”

Unexpected Events

Hello, I am delayed in posting today because I am in the midst of an unexpected event.  The details of it are not necessary for you to know that although we encounter moments and events in our lives that we never see coming…we must stay true to our faith and trust in God.  Friends whatever you are facing offer prayers or just have a one to one conversation with God…he is always waiting to hear from you…no matter what.  Peace to you.

“For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith.”
                                                                                                                Romans 1:17

Patience

“Love must be sincere.  Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.  Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.  Honor one another above yourselves.  Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.  Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.  Share with God’s people who are in need.  Practice hospitality.”

Romans 12:9-13
