Colossians 1:13 For He has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of His dear Son.
Colossians 3:2 Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth..
Colossians 3:15 And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your heart. For as members of one body your are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.
Colossians 3:23 Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people
I Thessalonians 5:16-18 Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 3:1-9, 14- 2 Timothy 4:1-5 “Dangers of the Last Days” – You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that! They are the kind who work their way into people’s homes and win the confidence of vulnerable women who are burdened with the guilt of sin and controlled by various desires. (Such women are forever following new teachings, but are never able to understand the truth.) these teachers oppose the truth just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses. They have depraved minds and a counterfeit faith, But they won’t get away with this for long. Someday everyone will recognize what fools they are, just as with Jannes and Jambres. .But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught. You know they are true….All scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives.,,,, God uses it to prepare and equip His people to do every good work………… For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths. But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at telling others the Good News and fully carry out the ministry of God has given you.
