Proverbs 4:23 Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.

Supplement your faith with goodness, goodness with knowledge, knowledge with self-control, self-control with endurance, endurance with godliness, godliness with brotherly affection and brotherly affection with love. 2 Peter 1:5-7

Jesus said, "The one who accepts My commands and keeps them is the one who loves Me. And the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father. I also will love him and will reveal Myself to him." John 14:21

Paraphrase Bibles can lead you to a deeper understanding of a verse or story. They can also be so different from the Bible that you might feel led astray. I read the above verse and it made me curious what the Bible really said. Putting the two together helped me. 😉

We expectantly wait for a satisfying relationship with the Spirit. For in Christ, neither our most conscientious religion nor disregard of religion amounts to anything. What matters is something far more interior: faith expressed in love. Galatians 5:5-6 Msg⬇️

“The mountains and hills may crumble, but My love for you will never end,” so says the LORD who loves you. Isaiah 54:10

Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?’ He said to Him, ‘Yes Lord; you know that I Love You.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my lambs.’ John 21:15

My soul finds rest in God. Psalm 62:1

@CarneAdventist Such a wonderful Sabbath! Have a wonderful week to match. Bless you!

@firstadventist Amen to freedom in Christ 🙏🏻 Sabbath blessings to you & yours.

So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, ‘Why don’t your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with defiled hands?’ Mark 7:5

@1979eric1979 @CarneAdventist Happy Sabbath, Eric.

@Tituz83 Amen! Where would we be without it!

@firstadventist Grace is a teacher - Titus2:11-12 and Grace is our Salvation 🙏

It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, Titus 2:12 "It" is the grace of God from verse one. So then, no such thing as "cheap grace" or "free to continue in our sins". Good to know.

The LORD says, "Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path and you will find rest for your souls." Jeremiah 6:16

So there is a special rest still waiting for the people of God. Hebrews 4:9

May your Sabbath be a delight. If this week has been tough on you, it's over now. Rest and let it go. At least for Sabbath, and then you will be better spiritually armed to tackle the world on Sunday when we begin again. 🙏

@SNFLWR_0131 Happy Sabbath, Robin.

Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy hill. Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming. It is close at hand— Joel 2:1

@CarneAdventist I love this verse. I grew up in the Episcopal church and it was so filled with men's traditions. Just love the Adventist movement being so Bible based!

@firstadventist So important to ensure we’re following Christ and His Word and not our own teachers, preachers, traditions, doctrines, or man-made beliefs. Blessings 🙏🏻
