1 Timothy 6:3-10

If anyone advocates a different doctrine and does not agree with sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine conforming to godliness, he is conceited and understands nothing

What Would Jesus Say? Christian doctrine flows from truth Jesus taught. To benefit from His sound words, though, we must read and meditate on them.

Thank you for giving us Your word written in the bible. Lord help me cherish it and draw me closer to You.

Philemon 21

Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask

When a widow gave two pennies as her offering, Jesus deemed this to be her best. "˜I tell you the truth,' he said, ˜this poor widow has put in more than all the others'" (Luke 21:3). She did it out of love, the "more" that comes from the heart.

Father, build into me the willingness to go the extra mile for souls who need to be loved.

Philemon 1-7

Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints

Philemon received this complimentary letter from Paul,
his heart was refreshed too. Words of encouragement can do this for
us. Whether delivered by letter, phone, or even e-mail, they soothe
the spirit.
Prayers are also important. Paul mentions this first in his
letter to his friend and fellow believer.
"I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers"

God, May I encourage others with my words to them. And may I lift
them up for Your blessing as I pray for them.

John 14:21-24

Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him

That's the truth, plain and simple.
"Don't you just love this pudding?"
"Yes, though I wish you wouldn't use that word  so loosely. I mean, you don't have to love everything. It OK to just like some things."
"And I like green beans. However, I love banana pudding."
"I know. But can you truthfully say you love the one who prepared it for you?"

Lord, I want to obey you, teach me how.

Colossians 3:18-25

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men

A son earn money from cutting grass and another person saw it and said, "you've got the blade set way too low"., "at that rate, you'll only need to mow once a week", "set your blade up, mow more, earn more".
Integrity? Take high road?
Maid sweeps kitchen is doing will of God just as much as monk who prays, not because she sing hymn as she sweeps but because God loves clean floors. Shoemaker does christian duty not by putting little crosses on shoe, but making good shoes because God is interested in good craftsmanship.

Lord, I want to do my best in everything, not only when others are watching but with sincerity of heart and reverence for You, no matter who sees.

1 John 4:18

“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.”

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction” (Proverbs 1:7). Though we may fear the Lord in the beginning, it is not the end of our spiritual quest, for “perfect love casts out fear.” Jesus perfect love casts out our fears when He embraces us as His friends (John 15:13, 14).

Lord, how do I love You?

Romans 8:38-39

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

The love of God is unchanging. Jesus loves no matter what, no matter when. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. Disease can take away our health, sadness can take away our happiness, a thief can steal our money, but no one can take Jesus away.

Thank You God for your unchanging love. Lord I pray that I won't take this great love of Yours for granted. Instead treasure it and obey Your every word.


Romans 8:35,37

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”

Those who are in Christ – those who are called the sons of God. To be in Christ is to accept salvation from God in His right time by faith. From darkness into light, from death into everlasting life.
For that work begins in eternity when God purposed to save a people, and purposed to save them in His Son. That’s where salvation lies – in the eternal purpose of God, in the eternal covenant of God between Father and Son, by which God chose a people in Christ “before the foundation of the world” (Ephesians 1:4), a people whom He predestinated “unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved” (Ephesians 1:5-6). It is this people whom Christ, in time, redeemed through His blood, to bring forgiveness of sins, to whom God then makes known “the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself”. 
Nothing can separate sons of God from God Himself as they have the faith to conquers situations. It is by such faith that and we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him who have been called according to his purpose.

Lord, I want to have this kind of love relationship with You that nothing can separate it. I pray that I will have to strength, will, wisdom and courage to conquer troubled situations.

1 John 3:11

“[Love one another] This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another.”

Again and again written, we are to love one another. This week's shows of verses about loving others and loving one another, as God first loves us, we should also love others.




1 John 4:10

“This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.”

Because of God's holiness, human's sins has to be punished. But because of God's love, out of love He gave Jesus to die on the cross for human's sins as an atonement sacrifice. This is love.

Dear God, You are Holy, You are wonderful and Your love is amazing. Thank You for Your great love towards us. I pray that I wont take this for granted.

It's Your blood that cleanses me,
It's Your blood that gives me life,
It's Your blood that took my place,

In redeeming sacrifice.
Washes me whiter than the snow ,than the snow,

My Jesus, God's precious sacrifice.

It's Your love
