Grace Trumps Sin
“… But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
ROMANS 5:20-21
Humbleness Before Pride
“… do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil…”
“For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people.
1 Peter 2:15-16
Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves.”
Man of Lawlessness
The man of lawlessness shall be revealed.
“Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.”

ROMANS 5:1
Second Thessalonians, Book Two
2 THESSALONIANS, Chapter 2
Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come.

Any Chaplain is a Bishop.
“This is a true saying, If any man desire the office of a Bishop, he desireth a worthy work.
A Bishop therefore must be unreproveable, the husband of one wife, watching, temperate, modest, harborous, apt to teach,
Not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre, but gentle, no fighter, not covetous.
ROMANS 12:14-18
“Bless those who persecute you;
Paul
bless and do not curse.
Rejoice with those who rejoice;
mourn with those who mourn.
Live in harmony with one another.
Do not be proud,
but be willing to associate with people of low position.
Do not be conceited.
Do not repay anyone evil for evil.
Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.
If it is possible,
as far as it depends on you,
live at peace with everyone.”
Admonishment of Idlenness
“Take special note of anyone who does not obey our instruction in this letter.
2 Thessalonians 3:12-14
…
Yet do not regard them as an enemy, but warn them as you would a fellow believer.”
David’s Faith
“All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s”
1 SAMUEL 17:47
Put Forth Effort
Sometimes, we need to “check”!
Take a’hold of your sins!
When getting-run-off-with by your own actions,
Take a hold!
Post a Stewards’ Inquiry and let the Big Boss decide what the correct course of action is to take!
Long Road Ahead
“Not that I have already obtained this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.”
PHILIPPIANS 3:12
Paul’s Words to Timothy
2TIMOTHY 2:24-26
“And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.”
Wives Love Your Husbands
“He who loves his wife loves himself.“
Husbands, Love Your Wives.
Book of EPHESIANS, CHAPTER FIVE:
Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.
For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Paul’s Words to Timothy
