You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

Remember the goodness of Jesus

Through Christ, God has given us the privilege and authority as apostles to tell Gentiles everywhere what God has done for them, so that they will believe and obey him, bringing glory to his name.

We are embarking on a new season. Prepare yourself for the new year as we put half of the year behind us. Set yourself apart and choose to be better, worry less, praise and worship. Know that we have a Father that takes care all of our needs… Our wants too but when we can be humble and ready for those blessings of want.

Do nothing from kselfish ambition or lconceit, but in mhumility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you nlook not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. [2] Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; [3] Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
