Sharing Scripture (4)

[Easyrider]

James 1:17-NLT . . .
Whatever is Good and Perfect comes to us from GOD Above,
who created all Heaven’s Lights. Unlike them, HE never changes
or casts shifting shadows.

Psalm 84:11-NLT . . .
The LORD GOD is our Light and Protector. HE gives us Grace and Glory.
No Good thing will the LORD withhold from those who do what is Right.

2 Peter 1:3-NLT . . .
As we know JESUS Better, His Divine Power gives us Everything
we Need for living a Godly Life. HE has called us to receive His
Own Glory and Goodness!

 

[Easyrider]

Isaiah 10:1-NLT . . .
Destruction is Certain for Unjust Judges,
for those who Issue Unfair Laws.

Romans 2:5-6-NLT . . .
There is going to Come a Day of Judgment when GOD,
the Just Judge of All the World,
Will Judge All People according to what they have Done.

Fairness is Playing by the Rules;
Justice is holding other people
Accountable when they don’t!!

Psalm 7:11-NLT . . .
GOD is a Judge who is Perfectly Fair.

If GOD gave us what we Deserved,
None of us would make it to Heaven,
for the Bible says that all people
have sinned against GOD (Romans 3:23).

GOD is not only Fair by Offering us
Another Way to Heaven,
HE is Merciful by Giving it to us Free.

All we Need to Do is Accept it (Romans 6:23).

Matthew 6:1-8, 16-18-NLT . . .
Don’t do your Good Deeds Publicly,
to be Admired, because then you
will Lose the Reward from your
Father in Heaven.

When we pursue Spiritual Life
with self-serving motives
we rob ourselves of the Joy
GOD Intends.

Philippians 1:18-NLT . . .
Whether or not their Motives are Pure,
the fact remains that the Message
about CHRIST is being Preached,
so I Rejoice.

Sometimes GOD chooses to use
even those Motivated
by selfish ambition to
Accomplish His Purposes.

1 Chronicles 29:17-NLT . . .
I know, My GOD, that you examine our Hearts and Rejoice
when you find Integrity there. You know I have done all
this with Good Motives, and I have watched your people
Offer their Gifts Willingly and Joyously.

 

[Easyrider]

1 Peter 4:9-NLT . . .
Cheerfully share your home with those
who need a meal or a place to stay.

Genesis 19:2-NLT . . .
“My Lords,” he said, “come to my home to wash your feet,
and be my guests for the night. You may then get up in
the morning as early as you like and be on your way again.”

Genesis 24:32-NLT . . .
The man went home with Laban, and Laban unloaded the camels,
gave him straw to bed them down, fed them, and provided water
for the camel drivers to wash their feet.

The Basics of Good Hospitality-
a Place to Stay and Food to Eat-
Can’t almost all of us offer these
simple acts of Kindness Toward Others?

 

[Easyrider]

Psalm 88:13-NLT . . .
O LORD, I Cry Out to You.
I will keep on Pleading day by day.

Matthew 6:7-NLT . . .
When you Pray, don’t Babble on and on
as People of other Religions do.
They think their Prayers are Answered
only by repeating their Words again and again.

2 Samuel 7:2-28-NLT . . .
“O LORD Almighty, GOD of Israel,
I have been Bold Enough to Pray this Prayer
because You have Revealed that you will
Build a House for Me [An Eternal Dynasty]!
For You are GOD, O Sovereign LORD.
Your Words are Truth, and
You have Promised these Good Things to me,
Your Servant.”

 

[Easyrider]

Psalm 78:40-42-NLT . . .
Oh, how often they Rebelled against Him in the Desert and
Grieved His Heart in the Wilderness. Again and again they
Tested GOD’s Patience and Frustrated the Holy One of Israel.
They Forgot about His Power and How HE Rescued Them
from their Enemies.

Hosea 6:4-NLT . . .
“O Israel and Judah, what should I do with you?” asks the LORD.
“For your Love Vanishes like the Morning Mist and Disappears
like Dew in the Sunlight.”


It is Frustrating to GOD to send out Unending Streams
of Love, Mercy, and Forgiveness to His People,
only to see them dam these Streams of Blessings
and Keep their Souls a Spiritual Desert!!!

I'm not a big Message Bible fan, but it is interesting to read some verses in it. Here's what I'd like to share.

Matthew 5:43-47 "You're familiar with the old written law, 'Love your friend,' and its unwritten companion, 'Hate your enemy.' I'm challenging that. I'm telling you to love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer, for then you are working out of your true selves, your God-created selves. This is what God does. He gives his best—the sun to warm and the rain to nourish—to everyone, regardless: the good and bad, the nice and nasty. If all you do is love the lovable, do you expect a bonus? Anybody can do that. If you simply say hello to those who greet you, do you expect a medal? Any run-of-the-mill sinner does that.

Let us not bring Him such grief as ancient Israel, or worse -
For we have been washed in the precious blood of Jesus.
Let us not trample it under foot by giving little regard to it.

Psalm 138:2-3-NLT . . .
I Bow before your Holy Temple as I Worship.

and Faithfulness, because Your Promises are Backed by
All the Honor of Your Name.
When I Pray, You Answer Me; You Encourage Me
by Giving Me the Strength I Need!!

1 Thessalonians 5:12-13-NLT . . .
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Honor those who
are your Leaders in the LORD’s Work.
They Work Hard among you and Warn you
against all that is Wrong.
Think Highly of them and Give Them
your Wholehearted Love because
of their Work. And Remember to Live
Peaceably with Each Other.

We should Admire Our
Fellow Christian Workers.

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10 KJV

 

[CindyisHis]

Colossians 2:6 Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 7 having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.


As a parent I have to remind my children to be overflowing with gratitude, or thankfulness. Then I stop to think, am I overflowing gratitude?

When we're thankful, there's no room for sadness. Also we're not complaining. Ever try to complain and give thanks at the same time?

Being thankful is a good way to keep our attitudes in check.
