For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking

but of righteousness, peace and joy in the the Holy Spirit, 

because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God 

and receives human approval.

Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace

and to mutual edification.

Ro. 14:17-19

 

By this all people will know that you are MY disciples,

if you have LOVE for one another.

As for God, HIS way is perfect:

The Lord's word is flawless;

He shields all who take refuge in HIM.

For who is God besides the Lord?

And who is the Rock except our God?

It is God who arms me with strength 

and keeps my way secure. 

2 Sam. 22:31-33

 

Lord, be gracious to us;

we long for YOU.

Be our strength every morning,

our salvation in time of distress.

a RICH store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge;

THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE KEY TO THIS TREASURE.

Is. 33:6

 

Grace and peace to yo from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age

according to the will of our God and Father,

to who be glory for ever and ever. 

Amen.

Gal. 1:3-5

 

 

"Your salvation requires you to turn back to Me

and stop your silly efforts to save yourselves.

The path of the righteous is level;

YOU, the Upright One make the way of the righteous smooth.

Yes, Lord, walking in the way of Your laws,

we wait for You;

Your name and renown are the desire of our hearts.

Is. 26:7-8

 

 

When anxiety was great within me,

Your consolation brought me JOY.

Ps. 94:19

 

Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings 

and sacrifices as much as in obeying the Lord?

To OBEY is better than sacrifice, 

and to heed is better than the fat of rams.

For rebellion is like the sin of deviation,

and arrogance like the evil of idolatry.

1 Sam. 15:22-23
