    Our Fellow Christians in Need

    “By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk...

    Evildoers in Disguise

    Grave Disaster

    A False Hope for Salvation

    “The Lord looks down from heaven; he sees all the children of man; from where he sits enthroned he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth, he who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds. The king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not...

    In the Midst of Liars

    “My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie down amid fiery beasts— the children of man, whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth! They set a net for my steps; my soul was bowed...

    If Your Eye Causes You to Sin

    “Woe to the world for temptations to sin! For it is necessary that temptations come, but woe to the one by whom the temptation comes!

    Who Walk According to the Example

    “Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us.

    From God Alone Comes My Salvation

    “For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken. How long will all of you attack a man to batter him, like a leaning wall, a tottering fence? They only plan to thrust him down...

    Discerning Lies from Truth

    Proverbs 17 Select Verses 4 An evildoer listens to wicked lips, and a liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue. 7 Fine speech is not becoming to a fool; still less is false speech to a prince. 9 Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates close friends...

    By Smooth Talk and Flattery
