In case no one noticed, God doesn’t need to save us. We do. We are children of our Father, and it is time to get past our rebellious teenage phase and start going out and acting in the ways He instructed us to carry on the Fatherly business, servitude to Him and each other in need. But of...
“Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. Never pay back evil for evil to anyone...
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction.” “My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent. If they say, ‘Come with us, Let us lie in wait for blood, Let us ambush the innocent without cause; Let us swallow them alive like Sheol, Even whole, as...

The long rain had really drenched this area of the settlement. There were firmer spots in many places, especially around the wall surrounding all the plants they hoped would still grow, where the underearthworm had been, but had burrowed again later in that day. But there were many places left...
“From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day. Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, ‘God forbid it, Lord! This shall never...
“You shall do no injustice in judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor nor defer to the great, but you are to judge your neighbor fairly. You shall not go about as a slanderer among your people, and you are not to act against the life of your neighbor; I am the Lord.” (Leviticus 19:15-16...
“Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let...
“The voice of one calling out, “Clear the way for the LORD in the wilderness; Make straight in the desert a highway for our God.’” (Isaiah 40:3 NASB) John the Baptist said, “I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.”...
