Where the Real News is the Good News

you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,

For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
    my God, in whom I trust.”

He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

See, I am doing a new thing!
    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
    and streams in the wasteland.

The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
    and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

Wait on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

However, as it is written:

“What no eye has seen,
    what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”—
    the things God has prepared for those who love him—

The name of the Lord is a fortified tower;
    the righteous run to it and are safe.

Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.

Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
    but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.
