never walk away

Proverbs 3:29 (MSG)
Don't figure ways of taking advantage of your neighbor when he's sitting there trusting and unsuspecting.

Whatever you ask for in prayer

Mark 11:22-25 (NIV)
"Have faith in God," Jesus answered.

It takes one to know one

Romans 2:1 (MSG)
Those people are on a dark spiral downward. But if you think that leaves you on the high ground where you can point your finger at others, think again. Every time you criticize someone, you condemn yourself. It takes one to know one. Judgmental criticism of others is a well-known way of escaping detection in your own crimes and misdemeanors. But God isn't so easily diverted. He sees right through all such smoke screens and holds you to what you've done.

Don't complain if you're in it with god

Luke 23:40-41 (MSG)
But the other one made him shut up: "Have you no fear of God? You're getting the same as him. We deserve this, but not him—he did nothing to deserve this."

Why I DONT want kids

Luke 23:28-29 (MSG)
At one point Jesus turned to the women and said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, don't cry for me. Cry for yourselves and for your children.

Hated by the world

John 15:18-19 (MSG)
"If you find the godless world is hating you, remember it got its start hating me. If you lived on the world's terms, the world would love you as one of its own. But since I picked you to live on God's terms and no longer on the world's terms, the world is going to hate you.

Go out onto the world

Philippians 2:14-16 (MSG)
Do everything readily and cheerfully—no bickering, no second-guessing allowed! Go out into the world uncorrupted, a breath of fresh air in this squalid and polluted society. Provide people with a glimpse of good living and of the living God. Carry the light-giving Message into the night so I'll have good cause to be proud of you on the day that Christ returns. You'll be living proof that I didn't go to all this work for nothing.

Means He Died For Nothing

Galatians 2:21 (MSG)
I am not going to go back on that. Is it not clear to you that to go back to that old rule-keeping, peer-pleasing religion would be an abandonment of everything personal and free in my relationship with God? I refuse to do that, to repudiate God's grace. If a living relationship with God could come by rule-keeping, then Christ died unnecessarily.

Weapons to use

Ephesians 6:11-15 (MSG)
So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way.

Ephesians 6:17-19 (MSG)
and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You'll need them throughout your life. God's Word is an indispensable weapon.

A mouth FULL/ VERY IMPORTANT!

Hebrews 12:1-17 (MSG)
Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we'd better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we're in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he's there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!

Confess with your mouth

Romans 10:9 (MSG)
Say the welcoming word to God-"Jesus is my Master"-embracing, body and soul, God's work of doing in us what he did in raising Jesus from the dead. That's it. You're not "doing" anything; you're simply calling out to God, trusting him to do it for you. That's salvation.

Blessed are the meek

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.

We may need to be forgiven

Galatians 6:1 (MSG)
Live creatively, friends. If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore him, saving your critical comments for yourself. You might be needing forgiveness before the day's out. Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ's law. If you think you are too good for that, you are badly deceived.

Don't be anxious

Philippians 4:6-7 (MSG)
Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

Give to those who ask

Matthew 5:42 (NET)
Give to the one who asks you, and do not reject the one who wants to borrow from you.

Drink wine sometimes

1 Timothy 5:23 (MSG)
And don't worry too much about what the critics will say. Go ahead and drink a little wine, for instance; it's good for your digestion, good medicine for what ails you.

Good deeds aren't hidden

1 Timothy 5:24-25 (MSG)
The sins of some people are blatant and march them right into court. The sins of others don't show up until much later. The same with good deeds. Some you see right off, but none are hidden forever.

Do not sleep too much!

Proverbs 20:13 (MSG)
Don't be too fond of sleep; you'll end up in the poorhouse. Wake up and get up; then there'll be food on the table.

If one sins against you

Matthew 18:15-17 (MSG)
"If a fellow believer hurts you, go and tell him—work it out between the two of you. If he listens, you've made a friend. If he won't listen, take one or two others along so that the presence of witnesses will keep things honest, and try again. If he still won't listen, tell the church. If he won't listen to the church, you'll have to start over from scratch, confront him with the need for repentance, and offer again God's forgiving love.

Do your best

2 Timothy 2:15 (MSG)
Concentrate on doing your best for God, work you won't be ashamed of, laying out the truth plain and simple.

2 Timothy 2:15 (MSG)

Trying to get something for nothing

Proverbs 17:18-20 (MSG)
It's stupid to try to get something for nothing, or run up huge bills you can never pay.

Love through all

Proverbs 17:17 (MSG)
Friends love through all kinds of weather, and families stick together in all kinds of trouble.

Your old life

Colossians 3:2-4 (MSG)
Don't shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ-that's where the action is. See things from his perspective.
