Reflections on Scripture
(from the Living Bible – Paraphrased 1971)
Titus 3:3 – Remind your people to obey the government and its officers, and always o be obedient and ready for any honest work.
Philemon 1 – From: Paul, In jail for preaching the Good News about Jesus Christ, and from Brother Timothy.
Paul never forgot to pray for his friends, no matter where he was. Not a bad habit!
Hebrews 11:1 – What is Faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead.
Boston Marathon, 1989 Hebrews 12:1 – Since we have such a huge crowd of men of faith watching us from the grandstands, let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly around our feet and trip us up; and let us run with patience the particular race that God has set before us.
Amen to verse 12!
James 1:22 – And remember, it is a message to obey, not just to listen to. So don't fool yourselves.
Amen to that statement!
1 Peter 2:17 – Show respect for everyone. Love Christians everywhere. Fear God and honor government.
Great advice for anyone!
2 Peter 2:22 – There is an old saying that “a dog comes back to what he has vomited, and a pig is washed only to come back and wallow in the mud again.” That is the way it is with those who turn again to their sin.
Ugh! don't think some people will like that.
