“The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor. All day long he craves and craves, but the righteous gives and does not hold back.” - ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭21‬:‭25‬-‭26‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Later I went to visit Shemaiah son of Delaiah and grandson of Mehetabel, who was confined to his home. He said, “Let us meet together inside the Temple of God and bolt the doors shut. Your enemies are coming to kill you tonight.” But I replied, “Should someone in my position run from danger? Should someone in my position enter the Temple to save his life? No, I won’t do it!” I realized that God had not spoken to him, but that he had uttered this prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. They were hoping to intimidate me and make me sin. Then they would be able to accuse and discredit me.”- ‭‭Nehemiah‬ ‭6‬:‭10‬-‭13‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“The fifth time, Sanballat’s servant came with an open letter in his hand, and this is what it said: “There is a rumor among the surrounding nations, and Geshem tells me it is true, that you and the Jews are planning to rebel and that is why you are building the wall. According to his reports, you plan to be their king. He also reports that you have appointed prophets in Jerusalem to proclaim about you, ‘Look! There is a king in Judah!’ “You can be very sure that this report will get back to the king, so I suggest that you come and talk it over with me.” I replied, “There is no truth in any part of your story. You are making up the whole thing.” They were just trying to intimidate us, imagining that they could discourage us and stop the work. So I continued the work with even greater determination.”- ‭‭Nehemiah‬ ‭6‬:‭5‬-‭9‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come and let us meet together at Hakkephirim in the plain of Ono.” But they intended to do me harm. And I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?”- ‭‭Nehemiah‬ ‭6‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭ESV‬‬

"Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man’s dwelling, but a foolish man devours it."- Proverbs‬ ‭21‬:‭20‬ ‭ESV

"First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle ( I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling..."- 1 Timothy 2:1-8

“Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.”- ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well…‭‭”- Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬“If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.”- ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭8‬ ‭NLT

“Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching..."- Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭6-7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Whoever loves pleasure will be a poor man; he who loves wine and oil will not be rich.” ‭- Proverbs‬ ‭21‬:‭17‬ ‭ESV

“In the human body there are many parts and organs, each with a unique function. And so it is in the body of Christ. For though we are many, we’ve all been mingled into one body in Christ. This means that we are all vitally joined to one another, with each contributing to the others.”‭‭- Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭TPT

“Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.” ‭‭- Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭NLT

“For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.”‭‭- Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the heart.” - Proverbs‬ ‭21‬:‭2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Solomon brought Pharaoh’s daughter up from the city of David to the house that he had built for her, for he said, “My wife shall not live in the house of David king of Israel, for the places to which the ark of the Lord has come are holy.” - ‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭8‬:‭11‬ ‭ESV

“No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.”- ‭‭Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭ESV‬

“In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, “So shall your offspring be.” He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead (since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah’s womb.”‭‭- Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭ESV

ALC Recommends: Small Groups and Leaders‬"That is why it depends on faith, so that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his offspring—not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist.”- ‭‭Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭ESV

“The sluggard does not plow in the autumn; he will seek at harvest and have nothing.” ‭‭- Proverbs 20‬:‭4 ESV‬‬

“For he is not a [real] Jew who is only one outwardly and publicly, nor is [true] circumcision something external and physical. But he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and [true] circumcision is of the heart, a spiritual and not a literal [matter]. His praise is not from men but from God.”‭‭- Romans‬ ‭2‬:‭28‬-‭29‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

“For you are not a true Jew just because you were born of Jewish parents or because you have gone through the ceremony of circumcision. No, a true Jew is one whose heart is right with God. And true circumcision is not merely obeying the letter of the law; rather, it is a change of heart produced by the Spirit. And a person with a changed heart seeks praise from God, not from people.” ‭- Romans‬ ‭2‬:‭28‬-‭29‬ ‭NLT‬‬

But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God.” ‭- Romans‬ ‭2‬:‭28‬-‭29‬ ‭ESV

“Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.” - ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭19‬:‭17‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.” ‭- Romans‬ ‭2‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Paul, a loving and loyal servant of the Anointed One, Jesus. He called me to be his apostle and set me apart with a mission to reveal God’s wonderful gospel. (7) I write to all his beloved chosen ones in Rome, for you are also called as holy ones. May his joyous grace and total well-being, flowing from our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, rest upon you. My commission is to preach the good news. Yet it is not entirely new, but the fulfillment of the hope promised to us through his prophets in the sacred Scriptures. For the gospel is all about God’s Son. As a man he descended from David’s royal lineage, but as the mighty Son of God he was raised from the dead and miraculously set apart with a display of triumphant power supplied by the Spirit of Holiness. And now Jesus is our Lord and our Messiah. Through him grace cascaded into us, empowering us with the gift of apostleship, so that we can win people from every nation into the obedience that comes from faith, to bring honor to his name. And you are among the chosen ones who are called to belong to Jesus, the Anointed One.”- ‭‭Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭TPT‬‬

“This letter is from Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, chosen by God to be an apostle and sent out to preach his Good News. God promised this Good News long ago through his prophets in the holy Scriptures. The Good News is about his Son. In his earthly life he was born into King David’s family line, and he was shown to be the Son of God when he was raised from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. He is Jesus Christ our Lord. Through Christ, God has given us the privilege and authority as apostles to tell Gentiles everywhere what God has done for them, so that they will believe and obey him, bringing glory to his name. And you are included among those Gentiles who have been called to belong to Jesus Christ.”- ‭‭Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬
