1 John 2: 15-17; 22-25Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. And the world is passing away, and also its lusts, but the one who does the will of God abides forever.Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. Everyone who denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also. As for you, let that which you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise which He Himself made to us: Eternal Life. ... See MoreSee Less
Psalm 46God is our refuge and strength,A very present help in trouble.Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should changeAnd though the mountains shake into the heart of the sea;Though its waters roar and foam,Though the mountains quake at its lofty pride.There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,The holy dwelling places of the Most High.God is in the midst of her, she will not be shaken;God will help her when morning dawns.The nations roar, the kingdoms shake;He gives His voice, the earth melts.Yahweh of hosts is with us;The God of Jacob is our stronghold.Come, behold the works of Yahweh,Who has appointed desolations in the earth.He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;He breaks the bow and cuts up the spear;He burns the chariots with fire."Cease striving and know that I am God;I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."Yahweh of hosts is with us;The God of Jacob is our stronghold. ...

Colossians 1: 9-20May you be filled with the full knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and multiplying in the full knowledge of God; being strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. Who rescued us from the authority of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For in Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities - all things have been created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. And He is the head of the body, the church; Who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. For in Him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross - through Him - whether things on earth or things in heaven. ...
