| Reap What You Sow 7. Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. Galatians 6:7-10 NIV Great Commission Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and of th eHoly Spirit, 20. and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. Matthew 28:18-20 NIV A Sinners Prayer 9. So justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We look for light, but all is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows. 10. Like the blind we grope along the wall, feeling our way like men without eyes. At midday we stumble as if it were twilight; among the strong, we are like the dead. 11. We all growl like bears; we moan mournfully like doves. We look for justice, but find none; for deliverance, but it is far away. 12. For our offenses are many in your sight, and our sins testify against us. Our offenses are ever with us and we acknowledge our iniquities: 13. rebellion and treachery against the Lord, turning our backs on our God, fomenting oppression and revolt, uttering lies our hearts have conceived. So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the streets honesty cannot enter. 15. Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey. Isaiah 59:9 NIV Surroundings 33. Do not be misled: " Bad company corrupts good character," 34. Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God-I say this to your shame. 1 Corinthians 15:33 NIV 14. Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? ................ 17. "Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing and I will recieve you." 18. "I will be a Father to you and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty." 2 Corinthinas 6:14-18 NIV Purity Do not rebuke and older man harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father. Treat younger men as brothers, 2. older women as mothers and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity. 1 Timothy 5: 1-2 NIV Love Your Enemies 27. But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28. bless those who curse you pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. 30. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31. Do to others as you would have them do to you. 32. If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. 33. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that, 34. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. 35. But love your enemies do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungreatful and wicked. 36. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Luke 6:27-36 NIV Judging Others 41. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 42. How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. Luke 6:41-42 NIV |
