Proverbs 16:7-9—”By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil. When a man’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right. A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the […]
Proverbs 11:2-3—”Considering how safe, and quiet, and easy the humble are, we see that with the lowly is wisdom. An honest man’s principles are fixed, therefore his way is plain.” Pride is defined as a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one’s achievements, associations, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired.

2 Peter 3:9—”The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” Put on the evening news – on one side you have Isis doing their bit governed by a leader with head strong […]
Psalm 119:68 – “You are good and do good; teach me your statutes.” We sing it loud and clear during worship, “God is good, all the time.” We believe it to be true at that time, otherwise the words won’t escape our lips that easily.

Matthew 26:36: Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane and saith unto the disciples, sit ye here while I go and pray yonder. Jesus was both human and God. He prayed always. Even at the point of death, He had TIME to pray and seek the face of His heavenly Father. He […]
Romans 8:14: For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. To everyone who believes in God, He has given the authority to be called as children of God. We have two masters who will lead us on the earth; one is the devil and the other […]
John 14:27: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth give I unto you, Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Jesus left his peace with us when He went to His Father. The peace that Jesus gives us is not like the […]
James 4:10: Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. God loves those who are humble in their attitude as well as approach. He doesn’t favor the proud or the haughty ones. When we humble before God, He shall lift us up. Humble means to be modest and not […]
