SUNDAY: Romans 16:17-18 17 I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. 18 For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites,[a] and by smooth talk flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.
MONDAY: 2 John 1:9 Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.
TUESDAY: 2 Peter 2:1 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
WEDNESDAY: 2 Timothy 4:3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions.
THURSDAY: 1 John 4:1-6 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them.
FRIDAY: 2 Timothy 3:1-5 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
SATURDAY: 1 Timothy 6:3-5 If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.
SUNDAY: Matthew 6: 24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
MONDAY: 1 John 2:16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.
TUESDAY: Ecclesiastes 5: 10 Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless.
WEDNESDAY: LUKE 12:15 Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”
THURSDAY: Proverbs 22:9 The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.
FRIDAY: Proverbs 14:31 Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.
SATURDAY: 1 Timothy 6:17-19 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. 19 In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
v
SUNDAY: Proverbs 11:14 Where
there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there
is safety.
MONDAY: Proverbs 29:4 By
justice a king builds up the land, but he who exacts gifts tears it down.
TUESDAY: Luke 22:26 But
not so with you. Rather, let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and
the leader as one who serves.
WEDNESDAY: Philippians 4:13 I
can do all things through him who strengthens me.
THURSDAY: Galatians 6:9 And
let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do
not give up.
FRIDAY: Philippians 2:3 Do
nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant
than yourselves.
SATURDAY: 1 Timothy 3:1-2 The
saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires
a noble task. Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one
wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach.
