Something to think about.
Law
20 The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, 21so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:20-21
Grace wonderful grace. Without grace we would certainly be condemned by the law.

Need Some Help?
Something to think about.
Need Some Help?
5 If any of
you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without
reproach, and it will be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no
doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is
driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that person must not suppose that
he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man,
unstable in all his ways. James 5:5-8
Do not hedge your bet do not leave another door open. Place all your faith in God and he will provide your need.

the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do
people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it

shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory
to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16

The True Measure of Value
Something to think about
The True Measure of Value
1
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a
noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and
understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so
as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give
away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not
love, I gain nothing.
We can have it all and have nothing. In
the end in the beginning and at all times, your value, your worth will
be measured not by what you have but by how you loved.

Take This Personally

"To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him
who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your
deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2
Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not
found your deeds complete in the sight of my God. Revelations 3:1,2
Is this you, a facade of life when your are all but dead”? Rekindle the fire that was once in you, revive yourself.

anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our
defense--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. 1John :1,2

payment for our sin.
