It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14360732197425349199noreply@blogger.comBlogger2761100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491199672497945057.post-50293431746363686522011-05-29T18:02:00.000-07:002011-05-29T18:02:59.256-07:00

2 Sam 12:13-15 And Nathan said to David, "The Lord also has put away your sin; you shall not die. However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you shall surely die." Then Nathan departed to his house. 2 Sam 12:15-17 And the Lord struck the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and it became ill. David

Exodus 5:1-21 Afterward Moses and Aaron went in and told Pharaoh, "Thus says the Lord God of Israel: 'Let My people go, that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness.'" And Pharaoh said, "Who is the Lord, that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, nor will I let Israel go." So they said, "The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please, let us go three days'

Job 19:23-27 (NLT) "Oh, that my words could be written. Oh, that they could be inscribed on a monument, carved with an iron chisel and filled with lead, engraved forever in the rock. "But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and that he will stand upon the earth at last. And after my body has decayed, yet in my body I will see God! I will see him for myself.

Rev. 21:3-4 (NLT) I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, "Look, the home of God is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. He will remove all of their sorrows, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. For the old world and its evils are gone forever." Have you ever wondered what eternity will be

Job 11:1-20 (NLT) Then Zophar the Naamathite replied to Job: "Shouldn't someone answer this torrent of words? Is a person proved innocent just by talking a lot? Should I remain silent while you babble on? When you mock God, shouldn't someone make you ashamed? You claim, 'My teaching is pure,' and 'I am clean in the sight of God.'

Psalm 36:1-2 (NLT) Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts. They have no fear of God to restrain them. In their blind conceit, they cannot see how wicked they really are. I cant help but be reminded at times of my former self and the way I used to live. Very much this way, no fear of God to restrain me, blind to Gods judgement. I have to think

Rev 17:9-14 NIV"This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. They are also seven kings.

Rev. 16:15 (NLT) "Take note: I will come as unexpectedly as a thief! Blessed are all who are watching for me, who keep their robes ready so they will not need to walk naked and ashamed." Christ will return unexpectedly (1 Thes. 5:1-6), so we must be ready when he returns. We can prepare ourselves by standing firm in temptation and by being committed to God’s moral standards.

Rev. 14:9-12 (NLT) Then a third angel followed them, shouting, "Anyone who worships the beast and his statue or who accepts his mark on the forehead or the hand must drink the wine of God's wrath.

Jude 1:21-23 (NLT) Live in such a way that God's love can bless you as you wait for the eternal life that our Lord Jesus Christ in his mercy is going to give you. Show mercy to those whose faith is wavering. Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. There are still others to whom you need to show mercy, but be careful that you aren't contaminated by their sins. Effective

Luke 23:1-5 (NLT) Then the entire council took Jesus over to Pilate, the Roman governor.

So Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus replied, "Yes, it is as you say."

These people are proud and arrogant, daring even to scoff at the glorious ones without so much as trembling. But the angels, even

Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and everything in them will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be exposed to judgment. since everything around us is going to melt away, what holy, godly lives you should be living!

1 Peter 5:10 (NLT) In his kindness God called you to his eternal glory by means of Jesus Christ. After you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation. When we are suffering, we often feel as though our pain will never end. Peter gave these faithful Christians the wider perspective. In comparison with eternity, their

1 Peter 3:21 (NLT) And this is a picture of baptism, which now saves you by the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection. Baptism is not a removal of dirt from your body; it is an appeal to God from a clean conscience. Peter says that Noah’s salvation through water symbolized baptism, a ceremony involving water. In baptism we identify with Jesus Christ, who separates us from the lost and gives

Ps 118:10-14 All the nations surrounded me,but in the name of the Lord I cut them off. They surrounded me on every side,but in the name of the Lord I cut them off. They swarmed around me like bees,but they died out as quickly as burning thorns;in the name of the Lord I cut them off. I was pushed back and about to fall,but the Lord helped me. The Lord is my strength and my song;he has become

Luke 6:41-42 "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye?
