Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for.
Keep on seeking, and you will find.
Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.

For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds.
And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.

Today: Matthew 7:1-2 – Do Not Judge

MIDEAST ISRAEL PALESTINIANS

Do not judge others, and you will not be judged.

For you will be treated as you treat others.

“come back to me, and I will heal your wayward hearts.”

“Yes, we’re coming,” the people reply,
“for you are the Lord our God.

fear

I decree that everyone throughout my kingdom should
tremble with fear before the God of Daniel.

For he is the living God,
and he will endure forever.
His kingdom will never be destroyed,
and his rule will never end.

When people’s lives please the Lord,
even their enemies are at peace with them.

Better to have little, with godliness,
than to be rich and dishonest.

We can make our plans,
but the Lord determines our steps.

What kind of life are you wishing for?

Let those who are wise understand these things.
Let those with discernment listen carefully.
The paths of the Lord are true and right,
and righteous people live by walking in them.
But in those paths sinners stumble and fall.

In the last days, the mountain of the Lord’s house
will be the highest of all—
the most important place on earth.
It will be raised above the other hills,
and people from all over the world will stream there to worship.

2 Peter 2:20-22

If they have escaped the corruption of the world by
knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again
entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end
than they were at the beginning.

It would have been better for them not to have known the
way of righteousness, than to have known it and then
to turn their backs on the sacred command that was
passed on to them.

Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,”
and, “A sow that is washed goes back to her
wallowing in the mud.”

2 Peter 2:17-19

These men are springs without water and mists driven
by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.

For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing
to the lustful desires of sinful human nature,
they entice people who are just escaping from those who
live in error.

They promise them freedom, while they themselves are
slaves of depravity—for a man is a slave to whatever
has mastered him.

FalseTeachers

2 Peter 2:13-14

They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done.
Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.
They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures
while they feast with you.

With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning;
they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed—
an accursed brood!

2 Peter 2:7-10

…and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed
by the filthy lives of lawless men

(for that righteous man, living among them day after day,
was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds
he saw and heard)—

if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men
from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day
of judgment, while continuing their punishment.

This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt
desire of the sinful nature and despise authority.

FalseTeachers

2 Peter 2:1-4

But there were also false prophets among the people,
just as there will be false teachers among you.
They will secretly introduce destructive heresies,
even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—
bringing swift destruction on themselves.

Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring
the way of truth into disrepute.

In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories
they have made up. Their condemnation has long been
hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.

For if God did not spare angels when they sinned,
but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons
to be held for judgment…





James 3:13-16 (NLT)

selfishness

If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an
honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes
from wisdom.

But if you are bitterly jealous and there is selfish ambition in your
heart, don’t cover up the truth with boasting and lying.

For jealousy and selfishness are not God’s kind of wisdom.
Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and demonic.

For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition,
there you will find disorder and evil of every kind.





Acts 13:32-33 (NLT)

promises

And now we are here to bring you this Good News. The promise was
made to our ancestors,

and God has now fulfilled it for us, their descendants,
by raising Jesus. This is what the second psalm says
about Jesus:
‘You are my Son.
Today I have become your Father.

It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid
sexual immorality;

that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that
is holy and honorable,

not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God;

and that in this matter no one should wrong his brother or take
advantage of him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins,
as we have already told you and warned you.
