    Romans 12:1-21

    Give Your Lives to God

    1 "So I beg you, brothers and sisters, because of the great mercy God has shown us, offer your lives as a living sacrifice to him—an offering that is only for God and pleasing to him. Considering what he has done, it is only right that you should worship him in this way.

    2 Don’t change yourselves to be like the people of this world, but let God change you inside with a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to understand and accept what God wants for you. You will be able to know what is good and pleasing to him and what is perfect.

    3 God has given me a special gift, and that is why I have something to say to each one of you. Don’t think that you are better than you really are. You must see yourself just as you are. Decide what you are by the faith God has given each of us.

    4 Each one of us has one body, and that body has many parts. These parts don’t all do the same thing.

    5 In the same way, we are many people, but in Christ we are all one body. We are the parts of that body, and each part belongs to all the others.

    6 We all have different gifts. Each gift came because of the grace God gave us. Whoever has the gift of prophecy should use that gift in a way that fits the kind of faith they have.

    7 Whoever has the gift of serving should serve. Whoever has the gift of teaching should teach.

    8 Whoever has the gift of comforting others should do that. Whoever has the gift of giving to help others should give generously. Whoever has the gift of leading should work hard at it. Whoever has the gift of showing kindness to others should do it gladly.

    9 Your love must be real. Hate what is evil. Do only what is good.

    10 Love each other in a way that makes you feel close like brothers and sisters. And give each other more honor than you give yourself.

    11 As you serve the Lord, work hard and don’t be lazy. Be excited about serving him!

    12 Be happy because of the hope you have. Be patient when you have troubles. Pray all the time.

    13 Share with God’s people who need help. Look for people who need help and welcome them into your homes.

    14 Wish only good for those who treat you badly. Ask God to bless them, not curse them.

    15 When others are happy, you should be happy with them. And when others are sad, you should be sad too.

    16 Live together in peace with each other. Don’t be proud, but be willing to be friends with people who are not important to others. Don’t think of yourself as smarter than everyone else.

    17 If someone does you wrong, don’t try to pay them back by hurting them. Try to do what everyone thinks is right.

    18 Do the best you can to live in peace with everyone. 

    ​19 My friends, don’t try to punish anyone who does wrong to you. Wait for God to punish them with his anger. In the Scriptures the Lord says,

    'I am the one who punishes;
        I will pay people back.'

    20 But you should do this:

    'If you have enemies who are hungry,
        give them something to eat.
    If you have enemies who are thirsty,
        give them something to drink.
    In doing this you will make them feel ashamed.'

    21 Don’t let evil defeat you, but defeat evil by doing good."

    ​Hallelujah! Praise God! Amen!

    Psalm 1


    1 "Great blessings belong to those

        who don’t listen to evil advice,


    who don’t live like sinners,

        and who don’t join those who make fun of God.


    ​2 Instead, they love the Lord’s teachings

        and think about them day and night.


    3 So they grow strong,

        like a tree planted by a stream--


    a tree that produces fruit when it should

        and has leaves that never fall.


    Everything they do is successful.


    4 But the wicked are not like that.


        They are like chaff that the wind blows away.


    5 When the time for judgment comes, the wicked will be found guilty.

    ​

        Sinners have no place among those who do what is right.


    6 The Lord shows his people how to live,

        but the wicked have lost their way."

     

    Isaiah 3


    10 "Tell the good people who do what is right that good things will happen to them. They will receive a reward for what they do.


    11 But it will be very bad for wicked people, because they, too, will get what they deserve. They will get what they did to others.

    ​

    12 Even children will defeat my people, and women will rule over them.


    My people, your guides lead you the wrong way, and they destroy the path you should follow."


    ​Hallelujah! Praise God! Amen!

    2 Timothy 3:1-5 


    Many People Will Stop Loving God


    1 “Remember this: There are some terrible times coming in the last days. 


    2 People will love only themselves and money. They will be proud and boast about themselves. They will abuse others with insults. They will not obey their parents. They will be ungrateful and against all that is pleasing to God. 


    3 They will have no love for others and will refuse to forgive anyone. They will talk about others to hurt them and will have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. 


    4 People will turn against their friends. They will do foolish things without thinking and will be so proud of themselves. Instead of loving God, they will love pleasure. 


    5 They will go on pretending to be devoted to God, but they will refuse to let that “devotion” change the way they live. Stay away from these people!”


    Matthew 18:18 - “I can assure you that when you speak judgment here on earth, it will be God’s judgment. And when you promise forgiveness here on earth, it will be God’s forgiveness."


    1 John 2:15-17  


    15 "Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.


    16 For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.


    17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever."


    Hallelujah! Praise God! Amen!

    "If we could spread love as quickly as we spread hate and negativity, what an amazing world we would live in." WE COULD ... IF WE TRIED


    1 Corinthians 13:1-13


    ​Let Love Be Your Guide


    13 "I may speak in different languages, whether human or even of angels. But if I don’t have love, I am only a noisy bell or a ringing cymbal. 


    2 I may have the gift of prophecy, I may understand all secrets and know everything there is to know, and I may have faith so great that I can move mountains. But even with all this, if I don’t have love, I am nothing. 


    3 I may give away everything I have to help others, and I may even give my body as an offering to be burned. But I gain nothing by doing all this if I don’t have love.


    4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud.


    5 Love is not rude, it is not selfish, and it cannot be made angry easily. Love does not remember wrongs done against it.


    6 Love is never happy when others do wrong, but it is always happy with the truth. 


    7 Love never gives up on people. It never stops trusting, never loses hope, and never quits.


    8 Love will never end. But all those gifts will come to an end—even the gift of prophecy, the gift of speaking in different kinds of languages, and the gift of knowledge.


    9 These will all end because this knowledge and these prophecies we have are not complete.


    10 But when perfection comes, the things that are not complete will end.


    11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, and I made plans like a child. When I became a man, I stopped those childish ways.


    12 It is the same with us. Now we see God as if we are looking at a reflection in a mirror. But then, in the future, we will see him right before our eyes. Now I know only a part, but at that time I will know fully, as God has known me.


    13 So these three things continue: faith, hope, and love. And the greatest of these is love."


    ​Amen!

    LEARN FROM CHRIST TO BE UNSELFISH

    "LEARN FROM CHRIST TO BE UNSELFISH" AUDIO BLOG
    (or read only below)

    Philippians 2:5-11 Easy-to-Read Version


    5 Learn From Christ to Be Unselfish In your life together, think the way Christ Jesus thought.


    6 He was like God in every way, but he did not think that his being equal with God was something to use for his own benefit.


    7 Instead, he gave up everything, even his place with God. He accepted the role of a servant, appearing in human form.


    During his life as a man,


    8 he humbled himself by being fully obedient to God, even when that caused his death—death on a cross.


    9 So God raised him up to the most important place and gave him the name that is greater than any other name.


    10 God did this so that every person will bow down to honor the name of Jesus. Everyone in heaven, on earth, and under the earth will bow.


    11 They will all confess, 'Jesus Christ is Lord,' and this will bring glory to God the Father."


    ​Amen!
