Jeremiah 26

1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word from the Lord, saying,

²Thus saith the Lord; Stand in the court of the Lord’s house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the Lord’s house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word:

³If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.

⁴And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord; If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,

Alert Against Avarice — Luke 12 — Look at Lilies — Francis Chan Crazy Love Ministry

Luke 12:22-34

Jesus said to his disciples,

I therefore tell you, do not worry about your life about what you are to eat; nor about your body about what you are to wear. For your life is something more than food, and your body than clothing. Look at the ravens. See how they do not sow or reap; they have no storehouse or barn; but God feeds them.

“How much more valuable are you than the birds?

“Which of you, by worrying about it, can add a few days to his span of life?

“If, then, you cannot do the littlest thing why worry about the other things?

Look at the lilies. See how they grow. They do not work; they do not spin; but, I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these.

“If God so clothe the grass in the field, which is there to-day and which to-morrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?

Do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink; do not be tossed about in a storm of anxiety. The peoples of the world seek for all these things. Your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom and all these things will be added to you. Do not fear, little flock, because it is your Father’s will to give you the kingdom.

Precious Promise Pertaining to Life — Sufficiency in Christ: YOU HAVE ALL YOU NEED — Francis Chan Crazy Love Ministry

2 Corinthians 9 New Living Translation (NLT)

³But I am sending these brothers to be sure you really are ready, as I have been telling them, and that your money is all collected. I don’t want to be wrong in my boasting about you. ⁴We would be embarrassed—not to mention your own embarrassment—if some Macedonian believers came with me and found that you weren’t ready after all I had told them! ⁵So I thought I should send these brothers ahead of me to make sure the gift you promised is ready. But I want it to be a willing gift, not one given grudgingly.

⁶Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. ⁷You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.”^[c]

⁸And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.
2nd Corinthians 9:8

⁹As the Scriptures say,

“They share freely and give generously to the poor.
Their good deeds will be remembered forever.”
Exodus 16:14-18, Psalm 112:9 They share freely and give generously to those in need. Their good deeds will be remembered…

¹⁰For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity^[e] in you.

2 Corinthians 5:21 New Living Translation (NLT)

²¹For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:21

Mystery of the Ephesians: Unity of Christ’s Body

Ephesians 4:1-6 New International Version (NIV)
Unity and Maturity in the Body of Christ

4 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.
2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called;
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Ephesians 4:1-6

Bible on Money

9 But what does “He ascended” mean except that He descended to the lower parts of the earth?

Ephesians 4:9

Paul answers, The One Jesus Christ, who humbled Himself in the form of a man and manger born child is the same One whose glory and greatness ascends above all heavens and earth, that He is the fulfillment of the Psalm’s saying

10 The One who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.

Mystery Revealed:

The meaning of the mystery, the Unity of the Church with Christ, means the breathtaking possibility of the Union between man with God!

³¹“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”

³²This is a profound mystery—but I…

Proverbs 9 New International Version (NIV)

Invitations of Wisdom and Folly

9.1-2

9 Wisdom has built her house;
she has set up^[^a^] its seven pillars.
²She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine;
she has also set her table.
³She has sent out her servants, and she calls
from the highest point of the city,
⁴ “Let all who are simple come to my house!”
To those who have no sense she says,
⁵ “Come, eat my food
and drink the wine I have mixed.

9.6

⁶Leave your simple ways and you will live;
walk in the way of insight.”

⁷Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults;
whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.
⁸Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you;
rebuke the wise and they will love you.

9.7-9
