I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. —Galatians 2:20 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? —Galatians 3:2  So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” —Galatians 3:6 So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. —Galatians 3:9 Faith— Forgiven And I Trust Him— This…

So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified. —Galatians 2:15 You are my strength, I sing praise to you; you, God, are my fortress, my God on whom I can rely. —Psalm 59:17              Lord Jesus, I have put my faith in You.  My eternal destiny lies with You and You alone.  You have taken my punishment at the cross for my sin.  Justice has been carried out on You for me and I am eternally grateful.  I know there…

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. —Galatians 1:3-5 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other…

…for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. —Isaiah11 :9 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea. —Habakkuk 2:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. —Matthew 24:14  Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy…

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned. —9:2 When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he withdrew to Galilee.  Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali— to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah: “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.”  From…

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”  And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”  9He said, “Go and tell… —Isaiah 6:8-9 “If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all.” —Isaiah 7:9 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they Abraham’s descendants? So am I. Are they servants of Christ? (I am out of my mind to talk like this.) I am more. I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again. Five times…

“I will make mere youths their officials; children will rule over them.”  People will oppress each other— man against man, neighbor against neighbor.  The young will rise up against the old, the nobody against the honored. —Isaiah 3:4-5 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it.  Woe to them!  They have brought disaster upon themselves. —Isaiah 3:8 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.  Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their…

In the last days… Go into the rocks, hide in the ground from the fearful presence of the Lord and the splendor of his majesty!…  The Lord Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled)… People will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the ground from the fearful presence of the Lord and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth… They will flee to caverns in the rocks and to the overhanging crags from the fearful presence of the Lord and the splendor of his majesty, when he…

Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written: “They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever.”  Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest…

As for Titus, he is my partner and co-worker among you… —II Corinthians 8:23              Recently, I was in a planning session with leaders and one mention how he felt isolated when it comes to Disciple-Making Movements—https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=disciple+making+movement&mid=FBDCA7BD006467E2AA3BFBDCA7BD006467E2AA3B&churl=https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa6bMzKYBAwEWLW_SnIoVhA&FORM=VIRE There just does not seem to be a desire of many to make disciples generationally— making disciples that make disciples that make disciple right down to the end of the age.  This brother’s feeling of isolation is not felt by him alone.  I am glad for the ones that do have a desire to go in this direction, but here in the northeast U.S. there is little desire… at least to this point.…
