Forbid and Abstain by Kendall Fox 1 Timothy 4:3-5 3  men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth. 4  For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude;  5  for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer.

We Have Dwelt Long Enough by J.C. Owens Deuteronomy 1-4 1  These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel across the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah opposite Suph, between Paran and Tophel and Laban and Hazeroth and Dizahab.  2  It is eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea.  3  In the fortieth year, on the first day of the el...

Christian Joy by Kendall Fox Acts 8:35-39 35  Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he preached Jesus to him. 36  As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch *said, “Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?” 38  And he ordered that the chariot stop; and they both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch, and h...

Some Will Fall Away by Kendall Fox 1 Timothy 4:1-2 4  But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 2  by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron,

Romans 6:15-19 15  What then? Are we to sin because we are not under the Law but under grace? Far from it!  16  Do you not know that the one to whom you present yourselves as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of that same one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness?   17  But thanks be to God that though you were slave...

1 Timothy 3:14-16 14  I am writing these things to you, hoping to come to you before long;   15  but in case I am delayed, I write so that you will know how one should act in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth.  16  Beyond question, great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindica...

Hebrews 10:23-25 23  Let’s hold firmly to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; 24  and let’s consider how to encourage one another in love and good deeds,  25  not abandoning our own meeting together, as is the habit of some people, but encouraging one another ; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

1 Timothy 3:1-7 3  It is a trustworthy statement: if any man aspires to the office of overseer, it is a fine work he desires to do . 2  An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, skillful in teaching, 3  not overindulging in wine, not a bully, but gentle, not contentious, free from the love of money. 4&nbs...

Luke 10:27 27  And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”

1 Timothy 2:9-15 9 Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or expensive apparel, 10 but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness. 11 A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. 12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or to e...

Romans 12:3-8 3  For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. 4  For just as we have many parts in one body and all the body’s parts do not have the same function, 5  so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and i...

1 Timothy 2:9-15 9  Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or expensive apparel, 10  but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness. 11  A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. 12  But I do not allow a woman to teach or...

Romans 10:1-3 10  Brothers and sisters , my heart’s desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation. 2  For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. 3  For not knowing about God’s righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

1 Timothy 2:8 8  Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger and dispute.

1 Timothy 2:5-7 5 For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,  6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.  7 For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

Acts 5:28-32 28  saying, “We gave you strict orders not to continue teaching in this name, and yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and intend to bring this Man’s blood upon us.”  29  But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.  30  The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you put to death by hanging Him on a cross.   31&nb...

1 Timothy 2:3-4 3  This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,  4  who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

1 Peter 1:13-15 13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, set your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, 15 but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior

1 Timothy 1:18-20 18 This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you fight the good fight, 19 keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith. 20 Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan, so that they will be taught not to...

Luke 9:59-62 59 And He said to another, “Follow Me.” But he said, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.” 60 But He said to him, “Allow the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim everywhere the kingdom of God.” 61 Another also said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first permit me to say goodbye to those at my home.” 62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, after putting his...

1 Timothy 1:12-17 12  I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service, 13  even though I was previously a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief; 14  and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in...

1 Peter 1:3-4 3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4  to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable, undefiled, and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,

Romans 14:19-23 19 So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another. 20 Do not tear down the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are clean, but they are evil for the person who eats and causes offense. 21 It is good not to eat meat or to drink wine, or to do anything by which your brother or sister stumbles. 22 The faith which you have, have as y...

1 Timothy 1:3-7 3 Just as I urged you upon my departure for Macedonia, to remain on at Ephesus so that you would instruct certain people not to teach strange doctrines, 4 nor to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to useless speculation rather than advance the plan of God, which is by faith, so I urge you now. 5 But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart,...
