Proverbs 4:22, 23. For they are life to those who find them, healing and health to all their flesh. Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life. (Amplified Bible) 7.

But you have paid attention to my teaching, conduct, purpose, faithfulness, patience, love, and endurance. 8. These people oppose the truth in the same way that Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses. Their minds are corrupt and their faith is counterfeit. 9. But they won’t get very far. Their foolishness will become obvious to everyone like those others. 11. You have seen me experience physical abuse and ordeals in places such as Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I put up with all sorts of abuse, and the Lord rescued me from it all! 12.

Understand that the last days will be dangerous times. 2. People will be selfish and love money. They will be the kind of people who brag and who are proud. They will slander others, and they will be disobedient to their parents. They will be ungrateful, unholy, We must and need to develop all the character of goodness to fight off the ever changing environment or be consumed and live a defeated tormented life.

St. Anthony’s Catholic Church Begins Construction on Fellowship Hall & Camp Lodges In Mandaree The Passage follows: Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me.” He replied to him, “Friend, who appointed me as your judge and arbitrator?” Then he said to the crowd, “Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one’s life does not consist of possessions.” Then Jesus told this parable. There was a rich man whose land produced a bountiful harvest? And he said, “This is what I shall do: I shall tear down my In June 2013 Schoenrock Sons Inc., began construction on the barns and build larger ones.

Jesus says to be rich in what matters to God….what does matter to God? I do not think we are necessarily rich in what matters to God because we have a big house, nice car, and a lot of money and material goods. Likewise, God does not so much care if we finish first or last in a marathon, win or lose at Bingo, or can drive fast on our bike or horse. What matters is that we are rich in love and compassion and that we are generous and kind, as God was generous to each of taking up the cross to redeem us of our sins. interior will contain circular wood columns to support the wood roof decking, similar to the interior of an earth lodge.
