Save us, O LORD our God,
and gather us from the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name
and glory in your praise.
Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.
Let all the people say, “Amen!”
Praise the LORD.
I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot.
I wish you were either one or the other!
So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—
I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’
But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.
Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath,
but righteousness delivers from death.
And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always
have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.
As the Scriptures say,
“They share freely and give generously to the poor.
Their good deeds will be remembered forever.”
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous.
Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God
will be with you wherever you go.
But your dead will live;
their bodies will rise.
You who dwell in the dust,
wake up and shout for joy.
Your dew is like the dew of the morning;
the earth will give birth to her dead.
First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will
come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.
They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised?
Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since
the beginning of creation.”
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
If you honor your father and mother, “things will go well for you,
and you will have a long life on the earth.”
How can you think of saying to your friend,
‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’
when you can’t see past the log in your own eye?
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Guys – Valentine’s Day is tomorrow…
Look, I will come as unexpectedly as a thief! Blessed are all who are
watching for me, who keep their clothing ready so they will not have
to walk around naked and ashamed.
Leave your simple ways and you will live;
walk in the way of understanding.
But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
that you may be sons of your Father in heaven.
He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good,
and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
If you see your brother’s donkey or his ox fallen on the road,
do not ignore it. Help him get it to its feet.
