Colossians 3:1-4:
|
Since you have raised up in company with Christ,
set your heart on what pertains to higher realms where
Christ is seated at God's right hand.
Be intent on things above rather than on things on earth.
After all you have died! Your life is hidden now with God.
When Christ our life appears,
then you shall appear with him in glory.

Twenty-Third Psalm:
|
The Lord is my Shepherd: I shall not want
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the
Paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
Shadow of death. I will fear no evil:
For thou art with me: thy rod and
Thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the
Presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil:
My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow
Me all the days of my life: and I will
Dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing.
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Matthew 19 verses 13-15, Mark 10 verses 13-16, Luke 18 verses 15-17:
|
In Matthew 19 verses 13-15, in Mark 10 verses 13-16, and in Luke 18 verses 15-17 we read of a extraordinary event which shows the remarkable love God has for children. Here in the NIV version I give the passage from Matthew: "13 Some people brought children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and to pray for them, but the disciples scolded the people. 14 Jesus said "Let the children come to me and do not stop them, because the Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. 15 He placed his hands on them and then went away."
