Luke 5:30-32
“But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law who belonged to their sect complained
to his disciples, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and `sinners'?"
Jesus answered them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have
not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."”
|
Luke 15:7,10,31-32
“I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one
sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent…
"In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of
God over one sinner who repents…
"`My son,' the father said, `you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.
But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and
is alive again; he was lost and is found.'”
|
Matthew 18:14
“In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones
should be lost.”
|
1 Corinthians 9:19-23
“Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win
as many as possible. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those
under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the
law), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like
one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's
law), so as to win those not having the law. To the weak I became weak, to win the
weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might
save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.”
|
Colossians 3:17
“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord
Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

Malachi 1:11
“'My name will be great among the nations, from the rising to the setting of the
sun. In every place incense and pure offerings will be brought to my name, because
my name will be great among the nations,' says the LORD Almighty.”
|
Proverbs 27:17
“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”
|
Romans 12:7
“If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach;”
|
2 Timothy 3:16-17
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking,
correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly
equipped for every good work.”
|
James 1:23-25
“Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks
at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately
forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law
that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard,
but doing it--he will be blessed in what he does.”
|
Luke 6:12-13
“One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent
the night praying to God. When morning came, he called his disciples to him and
chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles:”
|
Acts 2:44-47
“All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions
and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet
together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together
with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.
And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”
|
I Kings 11:4
“As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his
heart was not fully devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father
had been.”
|
Philippians 2:1-4
“If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any
comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and
compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love,
being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit,
but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look
not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.”
|
2 Corinthians 8:7
“But just as you excel in everything--in faith, in speech, in knowledge,
in complete earnestness and in your love for us--see that you also excel in this
grace of giving.”
