What do you do with that? “And he thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?’” – Luke 12:17
That’s quite a warning. “And He said to them, ‘Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.’” – Luke 12:15
If you’re all about money and getting rich… “Then one from the crowd said to Him, ‘Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.’” – Luke 12:13
Your attitude toward others shows… “Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?” – Matthew 18:33
This is why we forgive. “But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’” – Matthew 18:28
Every single time… “And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.” – Matthew 18:24
If you want to be healthy… “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.” – Matthew 18:22
It will change your life. “Then Peter came to Him and said, ‘Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?’ Jesus said to him, ‘I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.’” – Matthew 18:21-22
Remember what God has done. “Whoever offers praise glorifies me.” – Psalm 50:23
It takes careful work. “…The hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.” – 1 Peter 3:4
As significant as ever… “And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, ‘Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?’” – Revelation 13:4
Look where that thinking comes from. “For the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.” – Revelation 12:10
