1 Timothy 4:12

1 Timothy 4:12 (MSG)
And don't let anyone put you down because you're young. Teach believers with your life: by word, by demeanor, by love, by faith, by integrity.

Matthew 15:17

Matthew 15:17 (MSG)
Don't you know that anything that is swallowed works its way through the intestines and is finally defecated?

Poor

Psalm 9:18 (MSG)
No longer will the poor be nameless-no more humiliation for the humble.

Psalm 9:9

Psalm 9:9 (MSG)
god's a safe-house for the battered, a sanctuary during bad times. The moment you arrive, you relax; you're never sorry you knocked.

Matthew 7:3, Matthew 7:7

Matthew 7:3 (MSG)
It's easy to see a smudge on your neighbor's face and be oblivious to the ugly sneer on your own.

Matthew 7:7 (MSG)
"Don't bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need. This isn't a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we're in. If your child asks for bread, do you trick him with sawdust? If he asks for fish, do you scare him with a live snake on his plate? As bad as you are, you wouldn't think of such a thing. You're at least decent to your own children. So don't you think the God who conceived you in love will be even better?

Freedom

Galatians 5:13 (MSG)
It is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don't use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom. Rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love; that's how freedom grows. For everything we know about God's Word is summed up in a single sentence: Love others as you love yourself. That's an act of true freedom. If you bite and ravage each other, watch out—in no time at all you will be annihilating each other, and where will your precious freedom be then?

Matthew 6:9

Matthew 6:9 (MSG)
With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply. Like this: Our Father in heaven, Reveal who you are.

Matthew 5:17

Matthew 5:17 (MSG)
"Don't suppose for a minute that I have come to demolish the Scriptures— either God's Law or the Prophets. I'm not here to demolish but to complete. I am going to put it all together, pull it all together in a vast panorama. God's Law is more real and lasting than the stars in the sky and the ground at your feet. Long after stars burn out and earth wears out, God's Law will be alive and working.

Matthew 5:5

Matthew 5:5 (MSG)
"You're blessed when you're content with just who you are—no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought.
