1 Thessalonians 3:6-9Wednesday Night

December 11, 2013

  6 But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you always have good remembrance of us, greatly 

desiring to see us, as we also to see you--

 

7 therefore, brethren, in all our affliction and distress we were comforted concerning you by your faith.

8 For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.

9 For what thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sake before our God,

6 But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you always have good remembrance of us, greatly 

desiring to see us, as we also to see you--

1 Peter 4:8-118 And above all things have fervent love

for one another, for "love will cover a multitude of sins." 9 Be hospitable to one

another without grumbling. 10 As each one has received a gift, minister it to one

another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 11 If anyone speaks, let him

speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to

whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

John 13:34-3534 A new commandment I give to you,

that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By

this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one

another."

1 Timothy 5:17-1817 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor,

especially those who labor in the word and doctrine. 18 For the Scripture says,

"You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain," and, "The laborer is worthy

of his wages."

1 Peter 2:13-1713 Therefore submit yourselves to every

ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, whether to the king as supreme, 14 or to governors, as to those who are sent by

him for the punishment of evildoers and

for the praise of those who do good. 15 For this is the will of God, that by doing

good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men-- 16 as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God. 17 Honor all people.

Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

 

Revelations 2:1-61 "To the angel of the church of Ephesus

write, 'These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in

the midst of the seven golden lamp stands: 2 "I know your works, your labor,

your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are

not, and have found them liars; 3 and you have persevered and have patience, and

have labored for My name's sake and

have not become weary. 4 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5 Remember therefore

from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to

you quickly and remove your lamp stand from its place--unless you repent.

7 therefore, brethren, in all our affliction and distress we were comforted concerning you by your faith.

Galatians 6:9-109 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if

we do not lose heart. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all,

especially to those who are of the household of faith.

2 Corinthians 12:7-107 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the

revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me,

lest I be exalted above measure. 8

Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart

from me. 9 And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore

most gladly I will rather boast in my

infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take

pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I

am strong.

Psalm 119:49-5649 Remember the word to Your servant,

Upon which You have caused me to hope. 50 This is my comfort in my affliction, For Your word has given me life. 51 The proud

have me in great derision, Yet I do not turn aside from Your law.

52 I remembered Your judgments of old, O LORD, And have comforted myself. 53

Indignation has taken hold of me Because of the wicked, who forsake Your law. 54 Your statutes have been my songs In the

house of my pilgrimage.

55 I remember Your name in the night, O LORD, And I keep Your law. 56 This has

become mine, Because I kept Your precepts.

8 For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.

1 Corinthians 16:13-1413 Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong. 14 Let all that you do be done

with love.

Galatians 5:1-61 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by

which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of

bondage. 2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will

profit you nothing. 3 And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that

he is a debtor to keep the whole law. 4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law;

you have fallen from grace.

5 For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but

faith working through love.

Philippians 1:27-2827 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, 28 and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but to you of

salvation, and that from God.

9 For what thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sake before our God,

Daniel 12:33 Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those

who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever.

Proverbs 11:27-3027 He who earnestly seeks good finds

favor, But trouble will come to him who seeks evil. 28 He who trusts in his riches

will fall, But the righteous will flourish like foliage. 29 He who troubles his own house

will inherit the wind, And the fool will be servant to the wise of heart. 30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he

who wins souls is wise.

Philippians 4:4-74 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will

say, rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything

by prayer and supplication, with

thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through

Christ Jesus.
