(more…)S We know only a portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete. But when the complete arrives, our incomplete will be canceled. (The Message)
(more…)S When I am with the Gentiles who do not follow the Jewish Law, I too live apart from that law so I can bring them to Christ. But I do not ignore the law of God; I obey the law of Christ.
When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some. I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessing.
(more…)S I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there.
(more…)S For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace.
(more…)S If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes true, concerning which he spoke to you, saying, ‘Let us go after other gods (whom you have not known) and let us serve them,’ you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams; for the LORD your God is testing you to find out if you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
(more…)S A second time the rooster crowed. Then Peter called to mind the word that Jesus had said to him, “before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And when he thought about it, he wept.

Numbers 33:53 Take possession of the land and settle in it, because I have given it to you to occupy.
Numbers 33:55 But if you fail to drive out the people who live in the land, those who remain will be like splinters in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will harass you in the land where you live.
Mark 10:5 But Jesus responded, “He wrote those instructions only as a concession to your hard-hearted wickedness.”
