Adam, Verses Machine

Verses!!! Print out or email these to yourself so you can just look over these as you're bored during the week:

Psalm 27:1-2 The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid? When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall.

Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.

Ephesians 4:32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Acts 4:12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.

Psalms 27:10 Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me.

Colossons 1:22 But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation—

1 John 4:7-8 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Religion Discussion Questions

As always, these are meant to get you started and just prime the pump. Confess and repent with freedom (and gusto!) and don't be limited by these questions.

When are you tempted to compare your spiritual life (Bible knowledge, time spent in prayer or study, good works) to others?
When’s the last time you made a significant, spiritual decision based on input you received from others?
When’s the last time you were corrected and it went well?
Have you ever felt controlled or used by a religious organization?
Have you ever confused your relationship with God with your relationship with an institution?
Can you remember a time when you did something, nobody noticed, and it was a problem for you?
Does emotionalism gross you out? OR Do you think it’s not God unless there’s emotion thrown in there?
How do you react to new movements of God? What about immaturity you see in the Body? Does that offend you?
Have you ever felt that if you didn’t attend meetings on Sunday morning that God was disappointed in you?
