It’s far more than that! I consider everything else worthless because I’m much better off knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. It’s because of him that I think of everything as worthless. I threw it all away in order to gain Christ
Philippians 3:8 GWT
You can do it now freely, but all of creation will confess Jesus
so that at the name of Jesus everyone in heaven, on earth,
and in the world below will kneel
and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord
to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:10-11 GWT
When everyone does this
Don’t act out of selfish ambition or be conceited. Instead, humbly think of others as being better than yourselves. Don’t be concerned only about your own interests, but also be concerned about the interests of others. Have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
Philippians 2:3-5 (GWT))
When the whole world does this, it will be an amazing place to live. Actually, it will be heaven.
Why Do We Sing In Church?
No faith, no God relationship
No one can please God without faith. Whoever goes to God must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
Hebrews 11:6 (GOD’S WORD Translation (GWT))
All the good things come from light
Light produces everything that is good, that has God’s approval, and that is true.
Ephesians 5:9 (GWT))
Sexual sin separates from God.
You know very well that no person who is involved in sexual sin, perversion, or greed (which means worshiping wealth) can have any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Don’t let anyone deceive you with meaningless words. It is because of sins like these that God’s anger comes to those who refuse to obey him. Don’t be partners with them.
Ephesians 5:5-7 (GWT))
Cut the dirty talk and stories if you love God
Don’t let sexual sin, perversion of any kind, or greed even be mentioned among you. This is not appropriate behavior for God’s holy people. It’s not right that dirty stories, foolish talk, or obscene jokes should be mentioned among you either. Instead, give thanks ?to God?.
Ephesians 5:3-4 (GOD’S WORD Translation (GWT))
Shake It up and give!
Give, and you will receive. A large quantity, pressed together, shaken down, and running over will be put into your pocket. The standards you use for others will be applied to you.”
Luke 6:38 (GOD’S WORD Translation (GWT))
What is the purpose of church leaders?
He also gave apostles, prophets, missionaries, as well as pastors and teachers as gifts ?to his church?. Their purpose is to prepare God’s people to serve and to build up the body of Christ.
Ephesians 4:11-12 (GOD’S WORD Translation (GWT))
