The New Life In Christ: Truly, one who teaches you teaches the apple of my eye. Zechariah 2:8.

Do not plan harm against your neighbor who lives trustingly beside you. Proverbs 3:29.

Thus says the LORD of hosts: Render true judgments, shows kindness and mercy to one another, do not oppress the widow, the orphan, the alien, or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.

But they refused to listen, and turned a stubborn shoulder, and stopped their eyes in order not to hear. Zechariah 7:9-11.

Just as, when I called, they would not hear, so, when they called, I would not hear, says the LORD of hosts…  Zechariah 7:13. Amen.

I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending a one man for the faith of the gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved-and that by God. Philippians 1:27-28.

Each of you should look not only to your own interest, but also to the interests of others. Philippians 2:4.

Look, the hour is near, and the Son of          Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners… Matthew 26:45.

The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Mark 14:41.

…and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”

“Dear woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied, “My time has not yet come.” John 2:2-4.

“Now heart is troubled, and what shall I say? “Father, save me from this hour?” No, it was for this reason I came to this hour. Father, glorify your name!” John 12:27-28. Amen.

The New Life In Christ: But the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith. Hebrews 4:2.

For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever. Hebrews 7:28.

The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming-not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after tear, make perfect those who draw near to worship. Hebrews 10:1.

If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. Hebrews 10:26-27. Amen.

We were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary we worked high and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be burden to anyone of you. 2Thessalonians 3:7-8.

If anyone come to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him. 2John 1:10.

Do not deceived… A man reaps what he sows. Galatians 6:7. Amen.

The New Life In Christ: For there was one God and men, the man is Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men-the testimony given in its proper time. 1Timothy 2:5-6.

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unforgiving, slanderous, without self control, brutal, not lovers of good, treacherous, rash conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God -having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth. 2Tomothy 3:1-7.

Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. 2Corinthians 12:7-10.
