Faith and unbelief don’t mix.

Unwavering faith receives nothing.

James 1:6-7 (KJV) – but let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

If you expect your faith to bring you a spouse without doing anything to get one, that’s not faith.

Faith alone is dead faith.

You have to work your faith.

James 2:17 (KJV) – even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

God’s grace toward us is a gift.

You can’t work for it.

It’s a gift!

Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) – for by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any many should boast.

Even the best of us have this notion that they chose God.

Let’s get it straight . . . God chose you.

John 15:16 (KJV) – ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

Do you love God?

If you do, keep His commandments.

John 14:15 (KJV) – if ye love me, keep my commandments.

It pleases God very much when we are obedient to our parents.

Colossians 3:20 (KJV) – children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

Just as Christ forgave you, you can forgive others.

You’re gonna want it when the shoe is on the other foot.

Forgive!

Colossians 3:13 (KJV) – forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

We proclaim others to be our everything.

God is!!!

Psalm 18:2 (KJV) – the Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

God is able to do so much more than we ask or think.

It’s based on the power within you.

Ephesians 3:20 (KJV) – now unto him that is able to do exceeding abdundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.

You trouble your home if you’re greedy with always wanting more.

Proverbs 15:27 (KJV) – he that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
