For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race. But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God; from the same…

For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    2 Timothy 1:7  Peter instructs us to have all diligence in the faith, adding to that faith, virtue and…

Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and through Him everyone who believes is freed from all things, from which you could not be freed through the Law of Moses.                                                                                                                       Acts 13:38-39  Not only do we need to have correct knowledge of…

…nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified.                                                             …

My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.                                                                                                …

No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.                                                                                                …

And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.                                                                                                                  Hebrews 11:6  There are two enemies to faith: fear and doubt. We have a spiritual enemy who would…

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old gained approval.                                                                                                                  Hebrews 11:1-2  The second of the godly attributes that Peter mentions is faith. The word “faith” and the word “believe” come from the same root word in the…

Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.                                                                                                              Colossians 3:1-2  We’ve already seen that the ability to forget,…

Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.                                                                                                  Philippians 3:13-14  Diligence can be defined as a constant and earnest…
