STRIVE TO ENTER THROUGH THE NARROW GATE ...
12) So then, whatever you desire that others would do to and for you,even so do also to and for them, for this is (sums up) the Law and the Prophets. 13) Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it. 14) But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it. 15)Beware of false prophets, who come to you dressed as sheep , but inside they are devouring wolves. _Matthew 7:12-15 Amp. Bible...
*24) Strive to enter by the narrow door [force yourselves through it], for many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able. _Luke 13:24 Amp. Bible

FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT !!!....
22) But the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit [the work which His presence within accomplishes] is love, joy (gladness), peace, patience (an even temper, forbearance)), kindness, goodness (benevolence), faithfulness. 23) Gentleness (meekness, humility), self-control (self restraint, conttinence). Against such things there is no law [ that can bring a charge]. 24) And those who belong to Christ Jesus (the Messiah) have crucified the flesh (the godless human nature) with its passion and appetites and desires. 25)If we live by the [Holy] Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. [If by the Holy Spirit we have our life in God, let us go forward walking in line, our conduct controlled by the Spirit.] _Galatians 5:22-25 Amp. Bible

JESUS SAID: YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN !!!....
Now There was a certain man among the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler (a leader, an authority) among the Jews. 2) Who came to Jesus at night and said to Him, Rabbi, we know and are certain that You have come from God [as] a Teacher; for no one can do these signs (these wonderworks, these miracles--and produce the proofs) that You do unless God is with him. 3) Jesus answered him, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that unless a person is born again (anew, from above), he cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with, and experience) the kingdom of God. 4) Nicodemus said to Him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother's womb again and be born? 5) Jesus answered, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, unless a man is born of water and [even] the Spirit, he cannot [ever] enter the kingdom of God.6) what is born of [from] the flesh is flesh [of the physical is physical]; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7) Marvel not [do not be surprised, astonished] at My telling you. You must all be born anew (from above). _John 3:1-7 Amp. Bible

WALKING IN PEACE ...
BEHOLD HOW good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2) It is like the precious ointment poured on the head, that ran down on the beard, even the beard of Aaron [the first high priest], that came down upon the collar and skirts of his garments [consecrating the whole body]. 3) It is like the dew of [lofty] Mount Hermon and the dew that comes on the hills of Zion; for there the Lord has commanded the blessing; even life forevermore [upon the high and the lowly]. _Psalm 133:1-3 Amp. Bible

THE DA VINCI CODE.....
Have you read the book "THE DA VINCI CODE"? With a movie to come out on 05-19-06. I have not read the book. I was watching a show that was talking about it. They said it's a little bit of truth mixed with alot of lies. That our young people are reading it and calling "The Bible" a lie. Because of whats in "The DaVinci Code". It's sold in the fiction dept. at book stores. And it's suppose to be a number a #1 best seller. We have to protect our young people!...

SHE POURED IT ON HIS HEAD ! ...
6) Now when Jesus came back to Bethany and was in the house of Simon the leper. 7) A woman came up to Him with an alabaster flask of very precious perfume, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at table. 8) And when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, For what purpose is all this waste? 9) For this perfume might have been sold for a large sum and the money given to the poor. 10) But Jesus, fully aware of this, said to them, Why do you bother the woman? She has done a noble (praiseworthy and beautiful) thing to Me. 11) For you always have the poor among you, but you will not always have Me. 12)In pouring this perfume on My body she has done something to prepare Me for My burial. 13)Truly I tell you, wherever this good news (the Gospel) is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will be told also, in memory of her. _Matthew 26:6-13 Amp.

[PUT ON] LOVE...
Be gentle and forbearing with one another and, if one has a differance (a grievance or complaint) against another, readily pardoning each other; even as the Lord has [freely] forgiven you, so must you also [forgive].
14)And above all these [put on] love and enfold yourselves with the bond of perfectness [which binds everything together completely in ideal harmony].
15) And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts [deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds, in that peaceful state] to which as [members of Christ's] one body you were also called [to live]. And be thankful (appreciative), [giving praise to God always]. _Colossians 3:13-15 Amp. Bible

SECRET PLACE OF THE MOST HIGH...
Psalm 91
*He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2) I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God ; in him will I trust. 3) Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4) He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust; his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

THE OLD RUGGED CROSS...
"The cross of our Lord Jesus Christ." Galations 6:14...
*On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I Love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
Refrain
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.
Refrain
In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.
Refrain
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I'll share. _written by: George Bennard, 1913

GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD....
16) For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to,relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction , be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. 17) For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge [to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him. _John 3:16-17 Amp.

Do not be faithless and incredulous, but [stop your unbelief and] believe! 28) Thomas answered Him, My Lord and my God! 29) Jesus said to him, Because you have seen Me, Thomas, do you now believe (trust, have faith)? Blessed and happy and to be envied are those who have never seen Me and yet have believed and adhered to and trusted and relied on Me. _John 20:27-29 Amp. Bible

Jesus said:
9) I am the Door ; anyone who enters in through Me will be saved (will live),.He will come in and he will go out [freely], and will find pasture.
10) The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).
11) I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd risks and lays down His [own] life for the sheep. _John 10:9-11 Amp. Bible

I GO TO THE ROCK...
Where do I go?
When there's nobody else to turn to
Who do I talk to?
When nobody wants to listen
Who do I lean on? Oh
When there is no foundation stable
I go to the rock
Chorus:
I go to the rock of my salvation
I go to the stone that the builders rejected
I run to the mountain
And the mountain he stands by me
When the Earth all around me is sinking sand
On Christ the solid rock I stand
When I need a shelter I go to the rock
_Written by: Dottie Rambo...

34)And Jesus called [to Him] the throng with His disciples and said to them, If anyone intends to come after Me, let him deny himself [forget, ignore, disown, and lose sight of himself and his own interests] and take up his cross, and [ joining Me as a disciple and siding with My party] follow with Me] continually, cleaving steadfastly to Me]. _Mark 8:34 Amp.

7) However, when they persisted with their question. He raised Himself up and said, Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her. 8)Then He bent down and went on writing on the ground with His finger. _John 8:7-8 Amp. Bible
*What did He write on the ground? Was it the guys names that wanted to stone her? No one knows? I always think about the Love & Compassion, and Forgiveness, Jesus had (has) for everyone!!

Walking By Faith continued.. WHY ARE YOU SO TIMID AND FEARFUL???
37) And a furious storm of wind [ of hurricane proportions] arose, and the waves kept beating into the boat, so that it was already becoming filled. 38)But He [Himself] was in the stern [of the boat], asleep on the [leather] cushion; and they awoke Him and said to Him, Master, do You not care that we are perishing? 39) And He arose and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, Hush now! Be still (muzzled)! And the wind ceased ( sank to rest as if exhausted by its beating) and there was [immediately] a great calm (a perfect peacefulness). 40) He said to them, Why are you so timid and fearful? How is it that you have no faith (no firmly relying trust)? 41)And they were filled with great awe and feared exeedingly and said one to another, Who then is this, that even wind and sea obey Him? _Mark 4:37-41 Amp.

Faith that can move mountains ! Is it enough? If I have Not Love ?...
IF I [can] speak in the tongues of men and [even] of angels, but have not love (that reasoning , intentional, spiritual devotion such as is inspired by God's love for and in us), I am only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2) And if I have prophetic powers (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose) , and understand all the secret truths and mysteries and possess all knowledge, and if I have [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but have not love (God's love in me), I gain nothing. _1 Corinthians 13:1-2 Amp.

Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak to You. 48) But He replied to the man who told Him, Who is My mother, and who are My brothers? 49) And stretching out His hand toward [not only the twelve disciples but all] 'His adherents, He said, Here are My mother and My brothers. 50)For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother! _Matthew 12:46-50 Amp.Bible

"WALKING BY "FAITH" NOT BY "SIGHT" ... continued....
1) NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the sences]. Hebrews 11:1 ...
6) But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out]. Hebrews 11:6 Amp. Bible
