Good Advice:

I Kings 12:12-14 NLT

12 Three days later Jeroboam and all the people returned to hear Rehoboam’s decision, just as the king had ordered.

13 But Rehoboam spoke harshly to the people, for he rejected the advice of the older counselors

14 and followed the counsel of his younger advisers. He told the people, “My father laid heavy burdens on you, but I’m going to make them even heavier! My father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions!”

Psalm 119:11-16 NLT

11 I have hidden your Word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

12 I praise you, O Lord; teach me your decrees.

13 I have recited aloud all the regulations you have given us.

14 I have rejoiced in your laws as much as in riches.

15 I will study your commandments and reflect on your ways.

16 I will delight in your decrees and not forget your Word.

Psalm 133:1 KJV

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

Proverbs 3:12 KJV

For whom The Lord loveth He correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

Proverbs 6:20-23 NLT

20 My son, obey your father’s commands, and don’t neglect your mother’s instruction.

21 Keep their words always in your heart. Tie them around your neck.

22 When you walk, their counsel will lead you. When you sleep, they will protect you. When you wake up, they will advise you.

23 For their command is a lamp and their instruction a light;their corrective discipline is the way to Life.

Proverbs 11:14 KJV

Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.

Proverbs 12:5,15,26 NLT

5 The plans of the Godly are just; the advice of the wicked is treacherous.

15 Fools think their own way is right, but the wise listen to others.

26 The Godly give good advice to their friends; the wicked lead them astray.

Proverbs 13:10,20 NLT

10 Pride leads to conflict; those who take advice are wise.

20 Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.

Proverbs 15:22,31-33 NLT

22 Plans go wrong for lack of advice; many advisers bring success.

31 If you listen to constructive criticism, you will be at home among the wise.

32 If you reject discipline, you only harm yourself; but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding.

33 Fear of The Lord teaches wisdom; humility precedes honor.

Proverbs 19:20 NLT

Get all the advice and instruction you can, so you will be wise the rest of your life.

Proverbs 24:6 NLT

So don’t go to war without wise guidance; victory depends on having many advisers.

Proverbs 27:9 NLT

The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-13 NLT

9 Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.

10 If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.

11 Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone?

12 A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.

13 It is better to be a poor but wise youth than an old and foolish king who refuses all advice.

Isaiah 30:1`KJV

Woe to the rebellious children, saith The Lord, that take counsel, but not of Me; and that cover with a covering, but not of My Spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

Matthew 7:24 KJV

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon A Rock:

I Corinthians 15:33 CEV

Don’t fool yourselves. Bad friends will destroy you.

Ephesians 6:4 NLT

Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from The Lord.

Psalm 143:10 KJV
Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy Spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

Proverbs 6:23 KJV
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.

Isaiah 30:21 KJV
And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the Way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

13 Howbeit when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of Mine, and shall shew it unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath are Mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of Mine, and shall shew it unto you.

19 And what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power,

II Peter 1:19 KJV
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; where unto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a Light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the Day Star arise in your hearts:

God our creator, will guide us through His word and by His Spirit, if we but remain, His faithful children.

Psalm 18:30-32 KJV
30 As for God, His way is perfect: The Word Of The LORD is tried: He is a buckler (Shield) to all those that trust in Him.
31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a Rock save our God?
32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah

Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,

Pilgrim through this barren land;

I am weak, but Thou art mighty,

Hold me with Thy pow’rful hand.

Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven,

Feed me till I want no more;

Feed me till I want no more.

Open now the crystal fountain,

Whence the healing stream doth flow;

Let the fire and cloudy pillar

Lead me all my journey through.

Strong Deliv’rer, strong Deliv’rer,

Be Thou still my Strength and Shield;

Be Thou still my Strength and Shield.

Lord, I trust Thy mighty power,

Wondrous are Thy works of old;

Thou deliver’st Thine from thralldom,

Who for naught themselves had sold:

Thou didst conquer, Thou didst conquer

Sin and Satan and the grave,

Sin and Satan and the grave.

When I tread the verge of Jordan,

Bid my anxious fears subside;

Death of death and hell’s Destruction,

Land me safe on Canaan’s side.

Songs of praises, songs of praises,

I will ever give to Thee;

I will ever give to Thee.

Bible Questions Answered:

“...when do we become children of God's family...”

Rosa/ Conroe, Texas U.S.A.

Bible Answer:

Bible Texts:

We become members of the family of God, when we receive The Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior.

Galatians 3:26-29 NLT

26 For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

27 And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes.

28 There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you.

God's Children, The Body Of Christ:

Romans 12:4,5 NLT

4 Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function,

5 so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.

I Corinthians 1:10-17 KJV

10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our

Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;

15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.

16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach The Gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

I Corinthians 6:15-20 KJV

15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith He, shall be one flesh.

17 But he that is joined unto The Lord is one spirit.

18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of

The Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

I Corinthians 10:16,17 NLT

16 When we bless the cup at The Lord’s Table, aren’t we sharing in The Blood Of Christ? And when we break the bread, aren’t we sharing in The Body Of Christ?

17 And though we are many, we all eat from one loaf of bread, showing that we are one body.

I Corinthians 11:23-32 KJV

23 For I have received of The Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that The Lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread:

24 And when He had given thanks, He brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is My Body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of Me.

25 After the same manner also He took the cup, when He had supped, saying, this cup is The New Testament in My Blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me.

26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew The Lord's death till He come.

27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of The Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of

The Body And Blood Of The Lord.

28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning The Lord's Body.

30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of The Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

I Corinthians 12:12-30 NLT (One Body with Many Parts)

12 The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ.

13 Some of us are Jews, some are Gentiles, some are slaves, and some are free. But we have all been baptized into one body by one Spirit, and we all share the same Spirit.

14 Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one part.

15 If the foot says, “I am not a part of the body because I am not a hand,” that does not make it any less a part of the body.

16 And if the ear says, “I am not part of the body because I am not an eye,” would that make it any less a part of the body?

17 If the whole body were an eye, how would you hear? Or if your whole body were an ear, how would you smell anything?

18 But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where He wants it.

19 How strange a body would be if it had only one part!

20 Yes, there are many parts, but only one body.

21 The eye can never say to the hand, “I don’t need you.” The head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you.”

22 In fact, some parts of the body that seem weakest and least important are actually the most necessary.

23 And the parts we regard as less honorable are those we clothe with the greatest care. So we carefully protect those parts that should not be seen,

24 while the more honorable parts do not require this special care. So God has put the body together such that extra honor and care are given to those parts that have less dignity.

25 This makes for harmony among the members, so that all the members care for each other.

26 If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts are glad.

27 All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it.

Ephesians 1:20-23 KJV

20 Which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places,

21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

22 And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be

The Head over all things to the church,

23 Which is His Body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all.

Ephesians 2:11-18,19-22 NLT (Oneness and Peace in Christ)

11 Don’t forget that you Gentiles used to be outsiders. You were called “uncircumcised heathens” by the Jews, who were proud of their circumcision, even though it affected only their bodies and not their hearts.

12 In those days you were living apart from Christ. You were excluded from citizenship among the people of Israel, and you did not know the covenant promises God had made to them. You lived in this world without God and without hope.

13 But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to Him through The Blood Of Christ.

14 For Christ Himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in His own body on the cross, He broke down the wall of hostility that separated us.

15 He did this by ending the system of law with its commandments and regulations. He made peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in Himself one new people from the two groups.

16 Together as one body, Christ reconciled both groups to God by means of His death on the cross, and our hostility toward each other was put to death.

17 He brought this Good News of peace to you Gentiles who were far away from Him, and peace to the Jews who were near.

18 Now all of us can come to The Father through the same

Holy Spirit because of what Christ has done for us.

(A Temple for The Lord)

19 So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family.

20 Together, we are His house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And

The Cornerstone is Christ Jesus Himself.

21 We are carefully joined together in Him, becoming a holy temple for The Lord.

22 Through Him you Gentiles are also being made part of this dwelling where God lives by His Spirit.

Ephesians 3:6 KJV

That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ by The Gospel:

Ephesians 4:4,12,15,16,25 NLT

4 For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future.

12 Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church,

The Body Of Christ.

15 "...speak The Truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is The Head of His Body, the church.

16 He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.

25 "...for we are all parts of the same body.

Ephesians 5:23,29,30 NLT

23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is The Head Of The church: and He is

The Savior Of The Body.

29 No one hates his own body but feeds and cares for it, just as Christ cares for the church.

30 And we are members of His body.

Colossians 1:18,24 KJV

18 And He is The Head Of The Body, the church: who is The

Beginning, The Firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence.

24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for His Body's sake, which is the church:

Colossians 2:18,19 NLT

18 Don’t let anyone condemn you by insisting on pious self-denial or the worship of angels, saying they have had visions about these things. Their sinful minds have made them proud,

19 and they are not connected to Christ, The Head Of The Body. For He holds the whole body together with its joints and ligaments, and it grows as God nourishes it.

Colossians 3:15 NLT

And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.

A Child Of The King

My Father is rich in houses and lands,

He holdeth the wealth of the world in His hands!

Of rubies and diamonds, of silver and gold,

His coffers are full, He has riches untold.

Chorus:

I’m a child of the King,

A child of the King:

With Jesus my Savior,

I’m a child of the King.

My Father’s own Son, the Savior of men,

Once wandered on earth as the poorest of them;

But now He is pleading our pardon on high,

That we may be His, when He comes by and by.

I once was an outcast stranger on earth,

A sinner by choice, an alien by birth,

But I’ve been adopted, my name’s written down,

An heir to a mansion, a robe and a crown.

A tent or a cottage, why should I care?

They’re building a palace for me over there;

Though exiled from home, yet still may I sing:

All glory to God, I’m a child of the King.

Bible Lesson: Conversations With Jesus: Jesus, Claimed To Be The Messiah.

Bible Text:

John 5:17-47 KJV

17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.

19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He seeth The Father do: for what things soever He doeth, these also doeth The Son likewise.

20 For The Father loveth The Son, and sheweth Him all things that Himself doeth: and He will shew Him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

21 For as The Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so The Son quickeneth whom He will.

22 For The Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto The Son:

23 That all men should honor The Son, even as they honor

The Father. He that honoreth not The Son honoreth not The Father which hath sent Him.

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting Life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto Life.

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of The Son Of God: and they that hear shall live.

26 For as The Father hath Life in Himself; so hath He given to The Son to have Life in Himself;

27 And hath given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is The Son Of Man.

28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice,

29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of Life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

30 I can of Mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and My judgment is just; because I seek not Mine own will, but the will of The Father which hath sent Me.

31 If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true.

32 There is another that beareth witness of Me; and I know that the witness which He witnesseth of Me is true.

33 Ye sent unto John, and He bare witness unto The Truth.

34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

35 He was a burning and a shining Light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his Light.

36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which The Father hath given Me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of Me, that The Father hath sent Me.

37 And The Father Himself, which hath sent Me, hath borne witness of Me. Ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His shape.

38 And ye have not His Word abiding in you: for whom He hath sent, Him ye believe not.

39 Search The Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal Life: and they are they which testify of Me.

40 And ye will not come to Me, that ye might have Life.

41 I receive not honor from men.

42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

43 I am come in My Father's name, and ye receive Me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

44 How can ye believe, which receive honor one of another, and seek not the honor that cometh from God only?

45 Do not think that I will accuse you to The Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed Me; for he wrote of Me.

47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe My Words?

Matthew 26:26-28,63-68 KJV

26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is My body.

27 And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

28 For this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

63 But Jesus held His peace, And the high priest answered and said unto Him, I adjure thee by The Living God, that thou tell us whether thou be The Christ, The Son Of God.

64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see The Son Of Man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard His blasphemy.

66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

67 Then did they spit in His face, and buffeted Him; and others smote Him with the palms of their hands,

68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?

Mark 2:5-7 KJV

5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.

7 Why doth this Man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?

Mark 14:61,62 KJV

61 But He held His peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, and said unto Him, Art thou The Christ, The Son Of The Blessed?

62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see The Son Of Man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

Luke 4:18-21 KJV

18 The Spirit Of The Lord is upon Me, because He hath anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your Heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

God will take care of you;

Beneath His wings of love abide,

God will take care of you.

Chorus:

God will take care of you,

Through every day, o’er all the way;

He will take care of you,

God will take care of you.

Through days of toil when heart doth fail,

God will take care of you;

When dangers fierce your path assail,

God will take care of you.

All you may need He will provide,

God will take care of you;

Nothing you ask will be denied,

God will take care of you.

No matter what may be the test,

God will take care of you;

Lean, weary one, upon His breast,

God will take care of you.
