What GOD
Says About:
|
"A
man's discretion makes him slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook a
transgression." "This
you know, my beloved brethren. Everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak
and slow to anger." "In
everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you,
for this is the Law and the Prophets." "Pride
goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before stumbling. It is better to
be humble in spirit with the lowly than to divide the spoil with the
proud." "He
who gives attention to the word will find good, and blessed is he who trusts in
the LORD." "For
though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the
weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the
destruction of fortresses." "Make
sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with
what you have; for He Himself has said, 'I will never desert you, nor will I
ever forsake you,' so that we confidently say, 'The Lord is my helper, I will
not be afraid. What will man do to me?'" "Then
He said to them, 'Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for
not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his
possessions.'" "The
end of a matter is better than its beginning; patience of spirit is better than
haughtiness of spirit. Do not be eager in your heart to be angry, for anger
resides in the bosom of fools." "Let
us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow
weary." "He
who profits illicitly troubles his own house, but he who hates bribes will
live." "Make
it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work
with your hands, just as we commanded you, so that you will behave properly
toward outsiders and not be in any need." "An
arrogant man stirs up strife, but he who trusts in the LORD will prosper. He
who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but he who walks wisely will be
delivered." "The
Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach,
patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition,
if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the
truth." "Do
not contend with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm." |
