3 John 11 Dear friends, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.

Reaction – 1 Peter 2:23
1 Peter 2:23 When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.

Growth – Hebrews 6:1-2
Hebrews 6:1-2 Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and faith in God, 2 instruction about cleansing rites, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.

Penalty Box – Hebrews 3:18
Hebrews 3:18 And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed? I am glad there are standards.

Grace Teaches – Titus 2:12

Deny – Titus 1:16
Titus 1:16 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.

Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. People are more than what theyContinue reading “Rescue – 2 Timothy 3:10-11”
Contest – 2 Timothy 1:9-10
2 Timothy 1:9-10He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace.

Diets – 1 Timothy 4:4-5
1 Timothy 4:4-5 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.
