Acts 3:16

Acts 3:16 (MSG)
Faith in Jesus' name put this man, whose condition you know so well, on his feet-yes, faith and nothing but faith put this man healed and whole right before your eyes.

Matthew 19:26

Matthew 19:26 (MSG)
Jesus looked hard at them and said, "No chance at all if you think you can pull it off yourself. Every chance in the world if you trust God to do it."

Acts 9:31

Acts 9:31 (NLT)
The church then had peace throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria, and it became stronger as the believers lived in the fear of the Lord. And with the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, it also grew in numbers.

Women

1 Timothy 2:9-10 (MSG)
And I want women to get in there with the men in humility before God, not primping before a mirror or chasing the latest fashions

Sin

1 John 3:4 (MSG)
All who indulge in a sinful life are dangerously lawless, for sin is a major disruption of God's order. Surely you know that Christ showed up in order to get rid of sin. There is no sin in him, and sin is not part of his program. No one who lives deeply in Christ makes a practice of sin. None of those who do practice sin have taken a good look at Christ. They've got him all backward.

Hard times

1 Peter 4:13 (MSG)
Instead, be glad that you are in the very thick of what Christ experienced. This is a spiritual refining process, with glory just around the corner.

Being a woman

Proverbs 31:30 (MSG)
Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades. The woman to be admired and praised is the woman who lives in the Fear-of-God.

Glory of god

Ezekiel 1:28 (MSG)
The way a rainbow springs out of the sky on a rainy day-that's what it was like. It turned out to be the Glory of God! When I saw all this, I fell to my knees, my face to the ground. Then I heard a voice.

Being a woman

Proverbs 31:30 (MSG)
Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades. The woman to be admired and praised is the woman who lives in the Fear-of-God.

Spiritual gifts

2 Timothy 1:7 (MSG)
God doesn't want us to be shy with his gifts, but bold and loving and sensible.

Team

2 Samuel 19:7 (MSG)
Get hold of yourself; get out there and put some heart into your servants! I swear to God that if you don't go to them they'll desert; not a soldier will be left here by nightfall. And that will be the worst thing that has happened yet."

Quiet

Romans 8:15 (MSG)
This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It's adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike "What's next, Papa?" God's Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are. We know who he is, and we know who we are: Father and children. And we know we are going to get what's coming to us—an unbelievable inheritance! We go through exactly what Christ goes through. If we go through the hard times with him, then we're certainly going to go through the good times with him!

Homosexuality

Romans 1:26-27 (MSG)
Worse followed. Refusing to know God, they soon didn't know how to be human either—women didn't know how to be women, men didn't know how to be men. Sexually confused, they abused and defiled one another, women with women, men with men—all lust, no love. And then they paid for it, oh, how they paid for it—emptied of God and love, godless and loveless wretches.

Friend

James 5:19 (MSG)
My dear friends, if you know people who have wandered off from God's truth, don't write them off. Go after them. Get them back and you will have rescued precious lives from destruction and prevented an epidemic of wandering away from God.

Endurance

James 5:11 (MSG)
What a gift life is to those who stay the course! You've heard, of course, of Job's staying power, and you know how God brought it all together for him at the end. That's because God cares, cares right down to the last detail.

James 4:15

James 4:15 (MSG)
Instead, make it a habit to say, "If the Master wills it and we're still alive, we'll do this or that."

Wisdom

James 3:17 (MSG)
Real wisdom, God's wisdom, begins with a holy life and is characterized by getting along with others. It is gentle and reasonable, overflowing with mercy and blessings, not hot one day and cold the next, not two-faced. You can develop a healthy, robust community that lives right with God and enjoy its results only if you do the hard work of getting along with each other, treating each other with dignity and honor.

James 2:12

James 2:12 (MSG)
Talk and act like a person expecting to be judged by the Rule that sets us free. For if you refuse to act kindly, you can hardly expect to be treated kindly. Kind mercy wins over harsh judgment every time.

James 1:12

James 1:12 (MSG)
Anyone who meets a testing challenge head-on and manages to stick it out is mighty fortunate. For such persons loyally in love with God, the reward is life and more life.

James 1:8

James 1:8 (MSG)
adrift at sea, keeping all your options open.

Ecclesiastes 5:10

Ecclesiastes 5:10 (MSG)
The one who loves money is never satisfied with money, Nor the one who loves wealth with big profits. More smoke.

Hard times

2 Corinthians 1:4 (MSG)
He comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us.

Gods gift

Titus 3:7 (MSG)
God's gift has restored our relationship with him and given us back our lives. And there's more life to come-an eternity of life!
