Seek and Love Truth

*J.M.J.* Holy Bible But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with…

Be at Peace

*J.M.J.* Holy Bible Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And…

Place Your Hope in God!

*J.M.J.* Holy Bible We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood…

Courage!

*J.M.J.* Holy Bible “So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. Do not be afraid of those who kill…

Be Faithful!

*J.M.J.* Holy Bible We have a strong city; God makes salvation its walls and ramparts. Open the gates that the righteous nation may enter, the nation that keeps faith. You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal. [Isaiah 26:1-4] “Therefore keep watch,…

May He Fill You With Faith and Hope!

“Do Not Be Anxious About Anything…”

*J.M.J.* Holy Bible Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all.

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts…

“No One Will Snatch Them Out of My Hand…”

*J.M.J.* Holy Bible “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.

“Do Not Fear…”

*J.M.J.* Holy Bible But now, this is what the Lord says—he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
