For all flesh is as grass,
and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.
The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
but the Word of the Lord endureth for ever.
And this is the Word which by the Gospel is preached unto you.
Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies,
and all evil speakings, as newborn babes,
desire the sincere milk of the Word,
that ye may grow thereby:
if so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
(I Peter 1:24-2:3)
The Word for the YEAR--
Romans
5:1-5 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ: by Whom also we have access by faith into
this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
And not only
so, but we glory
in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and
patience, experience; and experience, hope: and hope maketh not ashamed;
because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost
which is given unto us.
The Word for the month--
John
14:27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world
giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it
be afraid.
The Word for the day--
Jude 1:2
Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
Hear the entire chapter--
Jude 1
Jude,
the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are
sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ,
and called:
Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
Beloved,
when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it
was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort
you
that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered
unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were
before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the
grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and
our Lord Jesus Christ. I will therefore put you in remembrance, though
ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the
land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. And the
angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation,
he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment
of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them
in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after
strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of
eternal fire. Likewise also these
filthy
dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of
dignities. Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he
disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing
accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. But these speak evil of
those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute
beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. Woe unto them! for
they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of
Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. These are
spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding
themselves without fear: clouds
they are
without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth,
without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; raging waves of the
sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved
the blackness of darkness for ever. And Enoch also, the seventh from
Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten
thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince
all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they
have ungodly committed, and of all their hard
speeches
which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. These are murmurers,
complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh
great swelling
words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
But,
beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles
of our Lord Jesus Christ; how that they told you there should be
mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying
in the Holy Ghost, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the
mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have
compassion, making a difference: and others save with fear, pulling
them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present
you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour,
be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Corinthians 15:3,4 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I
also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the
scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures:
Revelation
1:5b,6 Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own
blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to
him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Romans 16:27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
