Lk. 17:32-33 Remember Lot’s wife. Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it. He was a person who for many years felt no reason to search for a god. By the world’s standards, he had everything he needed and much more. He was not in want…

1 Cor. 15:1-2 Now brothers and sisters, let me remind you of the good news which I preached to you, which you welcomed and accepted and on which you stand [by faith]. By this faith you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.…

Tit. 3:1-2 Remind people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready and willing to do good, to slander or abuse no one, to be kind and conciliatory and gentle, showing unqualified consideration and courtesy toward everyone.

Col. 4:18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. May grace (God’s unmerited favor and blessing) be with you. Those of us who live in the developed world have a lot. Even our fellow countrymen who are disenfranchised and in need have more than many who live in the undeveloped…

Psa. 51:11-13 Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.  Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and sustain me with a willing spirit.  Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners shall be converted and return to You. No one’s Christian walk is…
