Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. (1 Corinthians 15:58) . Amen!

They asked Jesus— “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” (Luke 13:23) . His answer is chilling: . “Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.” (Luke 13:24)

“Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” (Luke 12:34) . The only one worthy of our whole heart is the one who formed it. May we treasure Christ above all!

“Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” (Luke 11:28) . Jesus honors the hearer and the doer. Lord, may we be that!

“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. Go your way; behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of wolves (Luke 10:2-3) . What a responsibility to be co-laborers for

“He is unchangeable, and who can turn Him back? What He desires, that He does. For He will complete what He appoints for me (Job 23:13–14) . Even in suffering, Job understood the unchangeable nature of God.

“As for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patience.” (Luke 8:15) . Noticing that word for patience (steadfastness). Sweetness in fruit only happens with patience, doesn’t it? Otherwise

“But if anyone loves God, he is known by God.” (1 Corinthians 8:3) . What would be evidence of this love? . “Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word” (John 14:23)

It’s been said: religion does nothing but start wars! Jesus said: “But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.” (Luke 6:27–28) . If faith ever justifies cruelty, it’s not a faith in Jesus.

“For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge?” (1 Corinthians 5:12) . The Bible says not to judge like a Pharisee. BUT it does say to judge like a family. God judges outsiders. We judge insiders. That’s not cruel. That’s

“Bear fruits in keeping with repentance.” (Luke 3:8) . The word means to change your mind and your life—to hate sin and leave it behind—not to earn God’s grace, but because you’ve been gripped by it.

“For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 3:11) . When the storm comes—and it will—only one foundation keeps you from collapse.

“For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” (1 Corinthians 2:2) . A crossless message is a powerless message.

“the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God” (1 Corinthians 1:18) . Victory came not by might, but through pierced hands.
