Topics DEATH Eternal Life in Jesus JOHN 11:25-26 DEPRESSION Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. MATTHEW 11:28-30 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. I can do everything through him who gives me strength. PHILIPPIANS 4:6, 13 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ROMANS 8:35-39 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. PSALM 43:5 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 PETER 5:7 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. ISAIAH 41:10 ENCOURAGEMENT But encourage one another daily . . .. HEBREWS 3:13 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. ROMANS 12:16 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. HEBREWS 10:24 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. 2 CORINTHIANS 1:3-4 FEAR Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. PROVERBS 3:5-6 For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life. PSALM 56:13 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. JOSHUA 1:9 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? MATTHEW 6:25-27 So do not fear, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. ISAIAH 41:10 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. 2 TIMOTHY 1:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 PETER 5:7 FORGIVENESS Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. LUKE 6:37 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. EPHESIANS 4:32 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. COLOSSIANS 3:13 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 JOHN 1:9 FRIENDSHIP A friend loves at all times . . .. PROVERBS 17:17 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. JOHN 15:13 A man that hath friends must show himself friendly. PROVERBS 18:24 (KJV) GOSSIPING A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret. PROVERBS 11:13 A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends. PROVERBS 16:28 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to a man's inmost parts. PROVERBS 18:8 HEAVEN Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am going. JOHN 14:1-3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God." REVELATION 21:3 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever. REVELATION 22:5 INNER BEAUTY The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. 1 SAMUEL 16:7 As for those who seemed to be importantwhatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not judge by external appearance. GALATIANS 2:6 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. 1 PETER 3:3-4 JEALOUSY The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. GALATIANS 5:14-15 Do to others as you would have them do to you. LUKE 6:31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. EPHESIANS 4:31-32 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. JAMES 3:14-16 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. PHILIPPIANS 2:4 LONELINESS When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. ISAIAH 43:2 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? MATTHEW 6:25-26 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." HEBREWS 13:5 The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. PSALM 145:18 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. JAMES 4:8 LOVE There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven. ECCLESIASTES 3:1 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ROMANS 8:35, 37-39 The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness". JEREMIAH 31:3 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-8 LYING The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in men who are truthful. PROVERBS 12:22 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body. EPHESIANS 4:25 Do not lie to each other. COLOSSIANS 3:9 A man of perverse heart does not prosper; he whose tongue is deceitful falls into trouble. PROVERBS 17:20 MONEY Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. MATTHEW 6:19-21, 24 Then he said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." LUKE 12:15 People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life. 1 TIMOTHY 6:9-10, 17-19 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." HEBREWS 13:5 PEER PRESSURE Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong. EXODUS 23:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will ishis good, pleasing and perfect will. ROMANS 12:2 Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character. 1 CORINTHIANS 15:33 PRAYER This, then, is how you should pray: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." MATTHEW 6:9-13 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7 Pray continually. 1 THESSALONIANS 5:17 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. JAMES 5:16 SELFISHNESS Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. LUKE 6:38 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. PHILIPPIANS 2:4 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 2 CORINTHIANS 9:6 SIN For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. PSALM 103:11-12 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. PSALM 119:11 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 JOHN 1:9 TEMPTATION My son, if sinners entice you, do not give in to them. PROVERBS 1:10 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. 1 CORINTHIANS 10:13 When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone. JAMES 1:13 WORRY An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up. PROVERBS 12:25 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. PROVERBS 3:5-6 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, "What shall we eat?" or "What shall we drink?" or "What shall we wear?" For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. MATTHEW 6:25-34 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 PETER 5:7 |
