... Obedience is better than sacrifice ... 1 Samuel 15:22, NLT
A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated,
but two can stand back-to-back and conquer.
Three are even better,
for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:12, NLT
11 Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you--who are you to judge your neighbor? 13 Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." 14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15 Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." 16 As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. 17 Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.
James 4:11-17
No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you:
to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8, NLT
You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.
This is the first and greatest commandment. Matthew 22:37-38, NLT
This is real love — not that we loved God,
but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
1 John 4:10, NLT
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth
John 16:13, NLT
And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you.
I will take out your stony, stubborn heart
and give you a tender, responsive heart.
Ezekiel 36:26, NLT
and God will come close to you.
James 4:8, NLT
Trials, temptations, disappointments -- all these are helps instead of hindrances, if one uses them rightly. They not only test the fibre of a character, but strengthen it. Every conquered temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before. - James Buckham
in your thoughts and prayers
But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today,
so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness
