Scripture for the heart
1 Corinthians 2:1- And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God; We need to remember that we can’t do anything only the testimony of God can.
Proverbs 27:24- For riches are not for ever: And doth the crown endure to every generation? -We constantly worry about money and bills but tend to forget that those types of things are temporary, Doesn’t God’s crown or God’s word stand for this generation? YES IT DOES! Share God’s word, be faithful; he will bless you with greater riches than what you deserve.
Galatians 2:20- I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Proverbs 3:5,6~ Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths.
Romans 3:10~ As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: Nothing we do that is right, we are all unrighteous, that is why we need Christ.
John 3:15~ That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.; If you believe on Christ you will have eternal life, many think that you can work for a spot in heaven but reality you can not work for it. To get to heaven it is a gift that Jesus gives because he died on the cross for our sins. Don’t get scared of that word perish, yes we all are going to die one day; but we go somewhere after we die. When he says perish he is saying you will not go to hell if you believe and put Jesus in your heart.
2 Timothy 2:1~ Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus; We know we can be strong through Jesus. His grace is so much more than anything that happens in your life.
Ephesian 3:17~ That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love; we need to allow Christ to be rooted in our hearts, without having Christ rooted in your heart it can cause you to make bad choices. Not having Christ in your heart hurts you more than anything.
Genesis 1:1~ In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth; God created this earth just by speaking, don’t think he can’t take care of your small problems cause he created the earth. He can and will take care of you.
John 14:6- Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. The only way to Heaven is Jesus alone, nothing else will get you there. Giving money to the church or doing good things, or even being a good person won’t get you to heaven the only way is Jesus alone.

On August 28th we decided that we need to dedicate our kids to God.
