Every Word

A Flash in the Pan?

Hang in there!

 

“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for He is faithful that promised).”

- Hebrews 10:23 KJV

Love Your Enemies

Who does that?

 

“But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High.”

- Luke 6:35 NKJV

Now Believe

“All you’ve done is cast out a demon!”

 

“And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. So it was, when the demon had gone out, that the mute spoke; and the multitudes marveled.… Others, testing Him, sought from Him a sign from heaven.”

- Luke 11:14, 16 NKJV

God Is Not Like That

He is fully in favor!

 

“Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”

We the People

It’s still the guide.

 

“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” - James 1:22 (NKJV)

Don’t Rely on Others

Things work best when people take initiative.

 

“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” - 2 Timothy 2:15 (NKJV)

The Bare Minimum?

Notice the language.

- Luke 12:21 NKJV

Once You’re Gone, It’s Too Late

God asks a searching question.

“Whose will those things be which you have provided?”
- Luke 12:20 NKJV

The Reality of Life

Fear is never the best motivator.

“But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’”
- Luke 12:20 NKJV

The Apex of Accomplishment?

He forgot why he was on the earth.
