“I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know...
“So have no fear of them, for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him...
“And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a...
The 7 Woes
(1) Woe
L – they shut the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces;
(2) Woe – they travel to make a single proselyte of hell just like themselves;
(3) Woe – blind guides, swearing on the altar and on the temple is the same as swearing by God;
(4) Woe – they tithe mint, dill, and cumin...
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for...

Consider Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV):
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
To be directed by the...

“See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who would force you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep...
Do we respect God’s Heaven? We cannot say “Yes” if we flippantly refer to the opposite place, to where those who do not love Him till the end of their lives are consigned for eternity.
The latest fad of uttering “Hell” at a whim, most notably by politicians that U.S. conservatives—even...
The apostles of Christ Jesus, our Lord, all testified of Jesus, that he was the Christ who was to come, and who had come. John, particularly, spoke of Jesus of having been with God from the beginning, and that he was God incarnate (God in the flesh among us), who was fully God and fully human...

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree...
“Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that...
“For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident...
1 John 1:8,10
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us ... 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Does it mean that you know God?

I am reading in John 9:1-41 about the man who was blind from birth whom Jesus healed. But I am only going to quote portions of this here, due to the length of it, so please take the time to read the whole chapter in context on the internet, or in your Bibles, for I will be summarizing much of...
Matthew 20:30-31,34^
30 And behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, “Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!”
31 Then the multitude warned them that they should be quiet; but they cried out all the more, saying, “Have mercy on us...
“We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.” (1 John 4:19-21...
