Verses of the day
Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those without strength and not just please ourselves.
Each of us is to please his neighbor for his good, to his edification.
For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written,
"THE REPROACHES OF THOSE WHO REPROACHED YOU FELL ON ME."
Romans 15:1-3
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us.
By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.
We have seen and testify that The Father has sent The Son to be The Savior of the world.
Whoever confesses that Jesus is The Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
1 John 4:10-15
Each of us is to please his neighbor for his good, to his edification.
For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written,
"THE REPROACHES OF THOSE WHO REPROACHED YOU FELL ON ME."
Romans 15:1-3
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Parable of the Sower
Jesus' parable of the sower
Luke 8:4-15
When a large crowd was coming together, and those from the various cities were journeying to Him, He spoke by way of a parable:
The sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell beside the road, and it was trampled under foot and the birds of the air ate it up.
Other seed fell on rocky soil, and as soon as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
Other seed fell among the thorns; and the thorns grew up with it and choked it out.
Other seed fell into the good soil, and grew up, and produced a crop a hundred times as great.” As He said these things, He would call out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
His disciples began questioning Him as to what this parable meant.
And He said, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is in parables, so that SEEING THEY MAY NOT SEE, AND HEARING THEY MAY NOT UNDERSTAND.
Now the parable is this: the seed is the word of God.
Those beside the road are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they will not believe and be saved.
Those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no firm root; they believe for a while, and in time of temptation fall away.
The seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity.
But the seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with perseverance.

1 Peter 1:22-23
Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from the heart, for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God.

Post of the day
For nothing is hidden that will not become evident,
nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.
So take care how you listen; for whoever has, to him more shall be given;
and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has shall be taken away from him.
Luke 8:17-18
You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.
Galatians 5:13
O give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon His name; Make known His doings among the peoples.
Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; Talk ye of all His marvellous works.
Glory ye in His holy name; Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
Seek ye Jehovah and His strength; Seek His face continually.
Remember His marvellous works that He hath done,
His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth
1 Chronicles 16:8-12

Verses of the day
1 Corinthians 1:10
I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.
Psalm 103
1-5
Praise YAHWEH, my soul! All that is within me, praise His holy name!
Praise YAHWEH, my soul, and don't forget all His benefits;
who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases;
who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies; who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
8-16
YAHWEH is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.
He will not always accuse; neither will He stay angry forever.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities.
For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His loving kindness toward those who fear Him.
As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
Like a father has compassion on his children, so YAHWEH has compassion on those who fear Him.
For He knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.
As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more.
------------
have a blessed weekend!
Shalom.

Verses of the day
May The God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 15:5-6
Since an overseer is entrusted with God's work, he must be blameless -- not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.
Titus 1:7-9
