God made me to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world, and to be happy with Him forever in heaven.
God created man that he might possess his Creator forever in the beatific vision.
You came to save sinners.
Save me Jesus, I am a sinner.
Please have mercy and be gracious.
Heal my soul.
Help me love you and others.
Psalms 41:4
As for me, I said, “LORD, be gracious to me;
Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”
Why do you doubt?
Why are you in despair?
Why are you restless?
Wait on God
Praise God
His presence is here.
Be at peace in Him.
Help me Jesus!
Psalms 42:11
Why are you in despair, my soul?
And why are you restless within me?
Wait for God, for I will again praise Him
For the help of His presence, my God.
Stop worrying about how much you know.
It’s love that builds people up.
1 Corinthians 8:1b
Knowledge makes one conceited,
but love edifies people.
If you love God
God has opened your heart to Him.
1 Corinthians 8:3
but if anyone loves God, he is known by Him.
One God
From the Father
For the Father
By Jesus
Through Jesus
1 Corinthians 8:6
yet for us there is only one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.
Everyone has common temptations
God is faithful
He is in charge of the temptation
He provides they way to escape if you want it
He provides the strength to endure if you want it
You must be willing to cry out to Him.
1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you except something common to mankind; and God is faithful, so He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.
God has established an order
Man is the Glory of God
Woman is the Glory of man
Woman was created for man’s sake
1 Corinthians 11:7-9
For a man should not have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man; for indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but woman for the man’s sake.
The Apostle Paul acknowledges that such divisions and heresies serve a purpose, as they reveal those who are genuine in their faith and those who may not be.
1 Corinthians 11:19
For there also have to be factions among you, so that those who are approved may become evident among you.
Judge yourself so God does not have to judge you
If we are judged by the Lord it is as discipline so we are not condemned.
If you do not recognize the Body of Christ and partake of the Eucharist you are in danger of being weak, sick, or death.
1 Corinthians 11:28-32
But a person must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For the one who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not properly recognize the body. For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number are asleep. But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world.
