Phil. 1:27-28 Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel, and not in any way terrified by…

Psa. 27:12-14 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries; for false witnesses have risen against me, and such as breathe out violence.  I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living.  Wait on the Lord; be of…

Jam. 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. I have known many people who have worked in nursing, and I tend to ask them the same questions.  I ask them things like the reason they…

2 Pet. 3:17-18a You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is strange to think that we are such good friends now…

Gal. 6:9 Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in. Our little church had suffered quite a few blows over the years.  During my 10 or so years there, the congregation dwindled in size even though it never…

Jam. 1:5-8 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.  But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.  For…
