Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.
Romans 16:16, ESV
We are all in this struggle together. Let us encourage and lift up each other in Christ, regardless of denomination or theological differences.
We all need the Gospel and support.
May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus
Romans 15:5, ESV
There is enough pain and division in this world, and an Enemy seeking our destruction. Let us love each other with the love of Christ, by His strength and power.
Now, due to errors in the WordPress app loading a couple of days VerseD’s before I went on a 3-day river trip, WP thinks I missed a few days in my run.
Sad.
So, I will just go with what they tell me … at least for today!
So, for 600 straight days, the internet has been getting VerseD in my thoughts on Scripture.
Do you feel well VerseD in the Bible?
I invite you to do two things:
It has been one of those blessed burdens to post these. I do not always feel like finding the strength, time, and energy to post these, but I am always blessed by my time in the Word. And a few brothers and sisters tend to come along and encourage me on those days it is the hardest to share or that I feel like I wasted my words.
Hopefully, on this Easter/Resurrection Sunday, you are blessed by my words and, more importantly, God’s Word.
In His Love,
Daniel
For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
Romans 15:4, ESV
We must not “unhitch” (Marcionism) from the Old Testament. All of Scripture can teach and encourage us.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
Colossians 3:16, ESV
We read, memorize, and live out Scripture, because by it the Holy Spirit moves through us to lift each other up in Christ in wisdom and thankfulness and through conversations and singing God’s truth.
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, ESV
As God’s faithful, we are to help and encourage each other in all things, as He helps and encourages us, especially through Christ.
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works
Hebrews 10:24, ESV
Love God, love people, love the Church.
How?
Grow in godliness as we spur and encourage each other – with Scripture, prayer, and sacrifice – to love on this fallen world.
Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.
Proverbs 12:25, ESV
Everything feels worse, heavier, sadder – or completely dull – when anxiety weighs on you.
Encourage each other. Especially with the hope of Christ.
Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised.
Hebrews 10:35-36, ESV
Why do people think skipping, avoiding, or leaving church when life gets hard is helpful or preferable?
God uses the Church to strengthen, encourage, and help us when in need. Then we remain ready for our Lord’s return.
Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17, ESV
As said in Hebrews, do not give up meeting together with fellow believers. We keep each other on track, in truth, and in the hope of Christ.
