What the bible has to say
about putting GOD FIRST.
Luke 14
26"If anyone comes to me
and does not hate his father
and mother, his wife and
children, his brothers and
sisters—yes, even his own
life—he cannot be my
disciple.
27And anyone who does not
carry his cross and follow
me cannot be my disciple.
Matthew 6:33
But seek first the kingdom of God and
his righteousness, and all these things
will be added to you.
Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no
longer I who live, but Christ who lives in
me. And the life I now live in the flesh I
live by faith in the Son of God, who
loved me and gave himself for me.
2 Corinthians 8:5
And this, not as we expected, but they
gave themselves first to the Lord and
then by the will of God to us.
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that he
gave his only Son, that whoever
believes in him should not perish but
have eternal life.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise
as some count slowness, but is patient
toward you, not wishing that any should
perish, but that all should reach
repentance.
Romans 14:1-23
As for the one who is weak in faith,
welcome him, but not to quarrel over
opinions. One person believes he may
eat anything, while the weak person
eats only vegetables. Let not the one
who eats despise the one who abstains,
and let not the one who abstains pass
judgment on the one who eats, for God
has welcomed him. Who are you to
pass judgment on the servant of
another? It is before his own master that
he stands or falls. And he will be
upheld, for the Lord is able to make him
stand. One person esteems one day as
better than another, while another
esteems all days alike. Each one should
be fully convinced in his own mind. ...
Romans 6:4
We were buried therefore with him by
baptism into death, in order that, just as
Christ was raised from the dead by the
glory of the Father, we too might walk in
newness of life.
Matthew 6:31-33
Therefore do not be anxious, saying,
‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we
drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the
Gentiles seek after all these things, and
your heavenly Father knows that you
need them all. But seek first the
kingdom of God and his righteousness,
and all these things will be added to you.
Matthew 6:19-21
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures
on earth, where moth and rust destroy
and where thieves break in and steal,
but lay up for yourselves treasures in
heaven, where neither moth nor rust
destroys and where thieves do not
break in and steal. For where your
treasure is, there your heart will be also.
2 Timothy 3:17
That the man of God may be
competent, equipped for every good
work.
2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is breathed out by God and
profitable for teaching, for reproof, for
correction, and for training in
righteousness,
2 Timothy 2:15
Do your best to present yourself to God
as one approved, a worker who has no
need to be ashamed, rightly handling
the word of truth.
Ephesians 4:27
And give no opportunity to the devil.
1 Corinthians 13:1-13
If I speak in the tongues of men and of
angels, but have not love, I am a noisy
gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have
prophetic powers, and understand all
mysteries and all knowledge, and if I
have all faith, so as to remove
mountains, but have not love, I am
nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I
deliver up my body to be burned, but
have not love, I gain nothing. Love is
patient and kind; love does not envy or
boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does
not insist on its own way; it is not
irritable or resentful; ...

1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you that is
not common to man. God is faithful, and
he will not let you be tempted beyond
your ability, but with the temptation he
will also provide the way of escape, that
you may be able to endure it.
Romans 13:1-7
Let every person be subject to the
governing authorities. For there is no
authority except from God, and those
that exist have been instituted by God.
Therefore whoever resists the
authorities resists what God has
appointed, and those who resist will
incur judgment. For rulers are not a
terror to good conduct, but to bad.
Would you have no fear of the one who
is in authority? Then do what is good,
and you will receive his approval, for he
is God's servant for your good. But if
you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not
bear the sword in vain. For he is the
servant of God, an avenger who carries
out God's wrath on the wrongdoer.
Therefore one must be in subjection,
not only to avoid God's wrath but also
for the sake of conscience. ...
Romans 5:8
But God shows his love for us in that
while we were still sinners, Christ died
for us.
Acts 10:35
But in every nation anyone who fears
him and does what is right is acceptable
to him.
Acts 4:32-35
Now the full number of those who
believed were of one heart and soul,
and no one said that any of the things
that belonged to him was his own, but
they had everything in common. And
with great power the apostles were
giving their testimony to the resurrection
of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was
upon them all. There was not a needy
person among them, for as many as
were owners of lands or houses sold
them and brought the proceeds of what
was sold and laid it at the apostles' feet,
and it was distributed to each as any
had need.
Acts 4:12
And there is salvation in no one else,
for there is no other name under
heaven given among men by which we
must be saved.”
John 3:3
Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say
to you, unless one is born again he
cannot see the kingdom of God.”
Matthew 10:8
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse
lepers, cast out demons. You received
without paying; give without pay.
Matthew 10:1
And he called to him his twelve disciples
and gave them authority over unclean
spirits, to cast them out, and to heal
every disease and every affliction.
Leviticus 19:28
You shall not make any cuts on your
body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I
am the Lord.
Genesis 1:27
So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
Hebrews 5:14
But solid food is for the mature, for
those who have their powers of
discernment trained by constant
practice to distinguish good from evil.
Titus 2:1
But as for you, teach what accords with
sound doctrine.
Romans 1:27
And the men likewise gave up natural
relations with women and were
consumed with passion for one another,
men committing shameless acts with
men and receiving in themselves the
due penalty for their error.
Matthew 6:24
“No one can serve two masters, for
either he will hate the one and love the
other, or he will be devoted to the one
and despise the other. You cannot
serve God and money.
Daniel 101
When John's father passed away the mother was left alone to care for
her son. She would now have to provide for her teenage son and protect
him against this cruel world she was forced to deal with since a young
age. She felt alone. She was alone. She did what any good mother would
do. She began her search for help. She ran to the only place she
thought could help, church, religion and the bible. She did what the
bible asked her to do........put GOD FIRST. She did what she felt was
right at the time. She gave religion-bible-church a chance, it failed her.
In her search for help she lost her son to drugs & alcohol.
Today, she continues to search. Not for assistance in raising John but in
a search to find herself. A decade later she's still lost. A decade later,
John continues his own search. . . . to find help. . . . and himself.
THIS. Is a true story. Not make believe. Jane & John Doe are real
people. I've used "Jane & John" to protect their identity but they know
who they are. Anyone who knows our family knows who I'm talking
about. We WERE close......before the bible-religion-church interfered.
THIS is what religion, church and the bible does to families all over
America.
Replace your bible with common-sense. You don't need religion, church
or a bible to tell you what's right and wrong.
Spend time with the people you love while you're here on this earth and
everything else will take care of itself. You can have a direct connection
with GOD at anytime.
Religion is a business and it's time to cut out the middle man.
THE CONFUSION
John 3:16
If you believe in Jesus you get to go to heaven
After reading this passage everything started to make sense. John 3:16
gives you the answer to all your questions. BELIEVE in JESUS and you
will go to heaven. Which is what everyone wants, to go to heaven. This
passage FORCES people to believe in everything the bible says no
matter how repulsive it is. TO NOT QUESTION HIM. To question
him would make one feel it's a sign that they don't believe in him and
will prevent them from entering the KINGDOM.People ARE AFRAID
to question. The fear tactic has worked once again.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD
Many people may question my belief in this greater being most people
call GOD. So it's only fair that I question their faith, religion & bible. If
you really believe that GOD is watching. That he takes part in our
everyday life and dictates what happens in our life. I challenge you.
Prove to me that what has come to light as of late with Priest molesting
children is not a sign for us not to trust the bible & church. Is he trying
to prove a point and sending us a message by saying, "Religion, Church
& the bible helped these men hide these terrible secrets for decades,
DON'T TRUST THEM. You don' t need them. I AM HERE. Speak to
me" If you really believe in GOD . . ask yourself if this is his way of
sending us a message. Is the world to ignorant to see this message? Am I
to ignorant to see this message?
It's time to look in the mirror and start answering some questions.
