Turn Toward The Straight Path

As for me and my house – we will serve the Lord (Joshua 24:15). It is good to state God’s Word with conviction. Conviction is good to strengthen the soul.

Let us commit ourselves to following God’s enlightened paths.

Holiness adorns Your house, O Lord, forever (Psalm 93:5).

We can walk in obedience to God’s Word and live a life of holiness.  Whatever your sins, the Bible does have the answer – there is hope.  But holiness is not only expected of us; it is the promised birthright of every Christian! 

For I am the Lord who brought you up/out from the land of Egypt [the place of your slavery] to be your God, so you must be holy because I am holy(Leviticus 11:45).

Certainly, sin shouldn’t have power over you because you are not controlled by laws, but by God’s favor (Romans 6:14).

To be holy is to be morally blameless – both separated from sin and consecrated to God.  (Jeff Bridges)

To do what is right and fair is more acceptable to the Lord than offering a sacrifice (Proverbs 21:3).

The way of life winds upward for the wise, that he may turn away from hell below (Proverbs 15:24).

By fear of the Lord one departs from evil (Proverbs 16:6).

Do not imitate what is evil, but what is good He who does good is of God. But he who does evil has not [yet] seen God (3 John 11).

For you were bought at a [high] price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit which are [both] God’s (1 Corinthians 6:20).

The spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing (John 6:63).

That servant who knew his Master’s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to His will, shall be beaten with many stripes! (Luke 12:47)

All the ways of a man [may be] pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirit (Proverbs 16:2).

As in water face reflects face, so a man’s heart reveals the man (Proverbs 27:19).

Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks (Mark 7:23).

Avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing they generate strife (2 Timothy 2:24).

Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babble and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge (1 Timothy 6:20).

Do not be rash with your mouth and let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you are on earth; therefore let your words be few! (Ecclesiastes 5:2).

God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things – at all times, having all you need – you will abound in every good work (2 Corinthians 9:8).

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 (Matthew 11:29).
