Words From The Word

As for the rich in this present world, instruct them not to be conceited and arrogant, nor to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly and ceaselessly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.  18  Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous, willing to share [with others].  19 In this way storing up for themselves the endu...

Then Adam said, “This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. Genesis 2 : 23,24 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate. Matthew 19...

For God did not send the Son into the world to judge and condemn the world [that is, to initiate the final judgment of the world], but that the world might be saved through Him. John 3 : 17 If anyone hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge and condemn the world [that is, to initiate the final judgment of the world], but to save the world. John 12 : 47...

But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.  2 Early in the morning He came back into the temple [court], and all the people were coming to Him.

They made her stand in the center of the court ,  4 and they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught...

The Lord was with Joseph, and he [even though a slave] became a successful and prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian.

Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate [by perversion], nor those who participate in...

Now the serpent was more crafty (subtle, skilled in deceit) than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And [ a ]the serpent (Satan) said to the woman, “Can it really be that God has said, ‘You shall not eat from [ b ]any tree of the garden’?”  2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees of the garden,  3 except the fruit from th...

Then God said, “Let Us  (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) make man in Our image, according to Our  likeness [not physical, but a spiritual personality and moral likeness];  and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the  birds of the air, the cattle, and over the entire earth, and over  everything that creeps and crawls on the earth.”  27 So God crea...

12 Everything is permissible for me, but not all things are beneficial. Everything is permissible for me, but I will not be enslaved by anything [and brought under its power, allowing it to control me].  13 Food  is for the stomach and the stomach for food, but God will do away with both of them. The body is not intended for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is...

1If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love  [for others growing out of God’s love for me], then I have become only a  noisy gong or a clanging cymbal [just an annoying distraction]. 2And if I have the gift of prophecy [and speak a new message from God to the people], and understand all mysteries, and [possess] all knowledge; and if I have all  [sufficient]...

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3 : 16 15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. 18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. 19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy...

Can we return to the beauty of love God originally intended? 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Genesis 2 : 23-24 3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understand...

How do you handle conflicts in your relationship? A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. Proverbs 15 : 1

The first one to plead his case seems right, Until another comes and cross-examines him. Proverbs 18 : 17 When the scoffer is punished, the naive [observes the lesson and] becomes wise; But when the wise and teachable person is instructed, he receives knowledge. Proverbs 21 : 11 He who answers before he hears [the facts]— It is folly and shame to him. Proverbs 18 : 13 Understand this, my  bel...

He who guards his mouth and his tongue Guards himself from troubles.

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words. 22 He who finds a [[a]true and faithful] wife finds a good thing And obtains favor and approval from the Lord. Proverbs 18 : 21-22 “The one who wants to enjoy life and see good days [good—whether apparent or not], Must keep his tongue free from evil an...

A soft and gentle and thoughtful answer turns away wrath, But harsh and painful and careless words stir up anger. Proverbs 15 : 1  20 My son, pay attention to my words and be willing to learn; Open your ears to my sayings. 21 Do not let them escape from your sight; Keep them in the center of your heart. 22 For they are life to those who find them, And healing and health to all their flesh. 23...

Communication is to marriage as blood is to the body.

Selfishness must be seen as sin and then confessed and forsaken.

Never get married seeking happiness if you or your mate are immature.

As married people this should be our prayer: “Father, give me understanding. Help me to understand my husband/wife, that they can never be perfect. Help me not to try to force him/her into a mold that is impossible to live up to. In the name of Jesus, I pray, Amen. ” 1 My son, if you will receive my words And treasure my commandments within you, 2 So that your ear is attentive to [skillful an...

“For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One and] [ a ]only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life.

19 “Do not store up for yourselves [material] treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal;  Matthew 6 :  19-20  13  I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empo...

You cannot love without giving. For the love of money [that is, the greedy desire for it and the willingness to gain it unethically] is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves [through and through] with many sorrows. 1 Timothy 6 : 10 Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down,...

Money, money, money...
