Principles II
2 Peter 1:8 (Voice) “For if you possess these traits and multiply them, then you will never be ineffective or unproductive in your relationship with our Lord Jesus the Anointed”

Common Ground
Eccl.4:9 “Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.”

The Heart Of It
John 12:26 (MSG) “If any of you wants to serve me, then follow me. Then you’ll be where I am, ready to serve at a moment’s notice. The Father will honour and reward anyone who serves me”
Luke 14:15 (MSG) “That triggered a response from one of the guests: “How fortunate the one who gets to eat dinner in God’s kingdom!” There is an angle to this guest’s response that we easily miss. Read the rest of this entry
The Difference
Matt.5:48 (MSG) “In a word, what I’m saying is, Grow up. You’re kingdom subjects. Now live like it. Live out your God-created identity. Live generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you.”

Lookout
James 4:10 (Voice) “Lay yourself bare, face down to the ground, in humility before the Lord; and He will lift your head so you can stand tall.”

Threshold
2 Cor.8:5 “They even did more than we had hoped, for their first action was to give themselves to the Lord and to us, just as God wanted them to do.”

Serving?
John 14:10-11 “Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I speak are not my own, but my Father who lives in me does his work through me. Just believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me…”

Eph.4:1 “Therefore, I a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. 2 Always be humble and gentle…” [with emphasis].

Passion Speaks
1 Chr. 21:24 “But King David replied to Araunah, “No, I insist on buying it for the full price. I will not take what is yours and give it to the Lord. I will not present burnt offerings that have cost me nothing!”
