Proverbs 27:5,6

Better is open rebuke than

hidden love.

Wounds from a friend can be

trusted, but an enemy multiplies

kisses.

Colossians 3:16

Let the message of Christ dwell

among you richly as you teach

and admonish one another with

all wisdom through psalms, hymns,

and songs from the Spirit, singing

to God with gratitude in your

hearts.

The statutes of

The Lord are right

Rejoicing the heart

The commandment

of

The Lord is pure

Enlightening the eyes

The fear of the

Lord is clean

Enduring forever

The judgments of

The Lord are true

And righteous

altogether

The law of the

Lord is perfect

Converting the soul

The testimony of

The Lord is sure

Making wise the simple

More to be desired

Are they than gold!

Yea than much fine

gold

Sweeter also than the

honey

And the honeycomb

Spur one another on toward love and good deeds

paroxusmos

Acts 15:39,40

They had such a sharp

disagreement that they parted

company. Barnabas took Mark

and sailed for Cyprus, but Paul

chose Silas and left, commended

by the believers to the grace of

the Lord.

Consider one another toward the provocation of love

and good works.

We need to be together

v25 …not giving up meeting together, as

some are in the habit of doing, but

encouraging one another—and all the

more as you see the Day approaching.

Colossians 3v16

Encourage one another daily, as long as

it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.

Romans 12:4-64 For just as each of us has one

body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.

I Corinthians 12:17,1817 If the whole body were an

eye, where would the sense of

hearing be? If the whole body

were an ear, where would the

sense of smell be? 18 But in fact

God has placed the parts in the

body, every one of them, just as

he wanted them to be.
