His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

2 Peter 1:3

Isn’t that wonderful. We have everything we need to overcome sin. But we often ignore what we have.

I found myself talking about someone this morning and then remembered the old saying, ‘if you cannot say something good say nothing.’

The tongue is so difficult to control!

[Howard Sharp @HowardSharp16]

Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!

Ezekiel 37:4

If our God can put life back into dry bones, we should never underestimate his power

@MunirSajid3 May 2024 bring you God’s blessings

[Howard Sharp @HowardSharp16]

We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.

James 3:2

What is said is in the heart. It is the hardest thing to control your tongue.

[Howard Sharp @HowardSharp16]

God will repay each person according to what they have done.

Romans 2:6

This statement needs to be taken seriously.

[Howard Sharp @HowardSharp16]

For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

Romans 1:17

A righteousness revealed through Jesus who was sinless, which we can have through faith.

@MunirSajid3 May God bless you in your loss

[Howard Sharp @HowardSharp16]

Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them? For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.

Romans 11:35-36

God does not need man, man needs God.

[Howard Sharp @HowardSharp16]

For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.

Romans 8:14

Allow the Holy Spirit to lead you!

[Howard Sharp @HowardSharp16]

For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.

Romans 6:9

Jesus is alive!

[Howard Sharp @HowardSharp16]

Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord will never count against them.

Romans 4:8

[Howard Sharp @HowardSharp16]

in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead

Colossians 2:11b-12

[Howard Sharp @HowardSharp16]

For there is no respect of persons with God.

Romans 2:11

All will be judged the same. Kings and beggars.

[Howard Sharp @HowardSharp16]

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God

Acts a 1:1

Paul was both humble but knew his importance as a preacher of the
Gospel. Preachers today need to follow his example.

[Howard Sharp @HowardSharp16]

But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

Acts 15:11

The early church were clear on their understanding of what makes a Christian. Why do we now have such diversity of beliefs?

[Howard Sharp @HowardSharp16]

@swlopatin Beautiful words

[Howard Sharp @HowardSharp16]

and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead. Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city:

Acts 14:19b-20a

Do Christians have this courage today? To go straight back to face your persecutors?

[Howard Sharp @HowardSharp16]

Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.

Acts 12:5

And their prayers were heard and Peter was released by an Angel. Prayers are heard by God.

[Howard Sharp @HowardSharp16]

And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

Acts 10:25-26

How easy it is to lose one’s humility when being a church leader. Follow Peter’s example always.
