“‘Then say, “Shibboleth”!’ And he would say, ‘Sibboleth,’ for he could not pronounce it right. Then they would take him and kill him at the fords of the Jordan. There fell at that time forty-two thousand Ephraimites.”

- Judges 12:6 NKJV

You could suffer real damage.

“Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.”

“We have to learn more about Europe.”

“Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it.’”

“A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.”

There’s something different about you…

“Therefore, we ourselves speak proudly of you among the churches of God for your perseverance and faith in the midst of all your persecutions and afflictions which you endure.”

- 2 Thessalonians 1:4 NASB1995

“But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.”

- 2 Thessalonians 3:3 KJV

“And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.”

Full steam ahead isn’t always best.

“And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.”
