Thus whether we are setting aside a day to honor God, or eating different kinds of food, or refusing to eat certain kinds of food—in all cases we must want to please the Lord.

From Romans 8:31- 39. These verses contain one of the most comforting promises in all Scripture. Believers have always had to face hardships in many forms, which could cause them to fear that they have been abandoned by Christ. But Paul exclaims that it is impossible to be separated from Christ. His death for us is proof of his unconquerable love. Nothing can stop Christ’s constant presence with us.

From 1 Corinthians 13:13. Reproduction happens at small levels, a small pocket of believers, growing and maturing, and splitting, and multiplying. This happens more out in our community, than inside the church building. It happens as life groups meet in homes, and invite friends and neighbors, and then eventually split and multiply into two groups, and those two groups eventually into four groups.Faith is how we relate intimately with God. Hope is how we offer Jesus to the world. Love is how we treat our neighbors. These three aspects of truth, makes up our spiritual DNA. These are three simple ingredients that every believer should cling to, believe in, and pass on to others.

From Mark 2:1-5. Approaching Jesus in unconventional ways.
