God found me in every church.
How I desire we could respect traditions,
But be not bound by them,
Nor divided by them.
Put off the arguments of the non-essentials,
Immersing ourselves in the fathomless depths
Of His love for our unity
Lavished on each individual soul.
Allow each to obey as they understand,
But remain whole.
Brothers who may live in different ways,
But join as one in endless praise
Of their One Heavenly Father.
Hold on to the pattern of wholesome teaching you learned from me—a pattern shaped by the faith and love that you have in Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 1:13
I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the Heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.
Philippians 3:14
No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:39
Matthew 5:44
But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you
Mark 10:45
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.
Luke 19:10
For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.
John 1:23
John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, “I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”
Mark 6:14
And King Herod heard of it, for His name had become well known; and people were saying, “John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are at work in Him.”
John 15:12
This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.
Matthew 11:28:
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
John 14:6:
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Matthew 28:19:
“Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
John 4:13-14
Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
Matthew 12:15-21
Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. A large crowd followed him, and he healed all who were ill. He warned them not to tell others about him. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
“Here is my servant whom I have chosen,
the one I love, in whom I delight;
I will put my Spirit on him,
and he will proclaim justice to the nations.
He will not quarrel or cry out;
no one will hear his voice in the streets.
A bruised reed he will not break,
and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out,
till he has brought justice through to victory.
In his name the nations will put their hope.”
Matthew 13:31,32
He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.”
Luke 10:8-10
When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you. Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, ‘Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.’ I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
I Corinthians 7:1-5
Now for the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband. The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer.
John 4:39
Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”
Luke 6:24-26
But woe to you who are rich,
for you have already received your comfort.
Woe to you who are well fed now,
for you will go hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will mourn and weep.
Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you,
for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.
Camelot is fallen!
All those noble knights
In gallantry clad now stumbled
Under pride and sword and blight
Rode with shoulders broad
Into the darkest shroud
Gave up the cause, the commission,
Swallowed by a pleasing cloud.
Camelot is rubble.
The hope of the weak and weary
Lost to the wake of corruption
Search in unbelief, bleary
Along a fruitless, fallow earth
Wherein the valiant lay unmarked
But the revels of the self-deluded
Dance shameless and stark
Inside their ruins
Dressed in rusted, empty armor.
Perhaps because they are powerful
And wield it like birthright
Fearless and unashamed
Incapable of the sight
Empathy or remorse requires.
Perhaps because they struck first
Coldest, unrepentantly self-adoring
More convinced every day while
Deaf to lost imploring
That they are the heroes in their story.
The people they’ve mown over
Go quiet to the grave
Like a drowning man is silent
With his lips beneath the wave
But there is a testimony that will stand
Even if it’s too late to save-
Judgment will speak at dusk in finality
To those who refused to yield at day.
