Jesus said, "If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body , than for your whole body to be thrown into hell."
2 Peter 1:1-21
"From Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ.
To everyone who shares with us in the privilege of believing that our
God and Savior Jesus Christ will do what is just and fair. I pray that
God will be kind to you and will let you live in perfect peace! May
you keep learning more and more about God and our Lord Jesus.
Living as the Lord's Followers
We have everything we need to live a life that pleases God. It was all
given to us by God's own power, when we learned that he had invited us
to share in his wonderful goodness. God made great and marvelous
promises, so that his nature would become part of us. Then we could
escape our evil desires and the corrupt influences of this world. Do
your best to improve your faith. You can do this by adding goodness,
understanding, self-control, patience, devotion to God, concern for
others, and love. If you keep growing in this way, it will show that
what you know about our Lord Jesus...
Who is on the Lord's side? Who for Him will go? And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher. That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day. 2 Timothy 1:11,12 NIV Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

So they went on their way from the presence of the Council, rejoicing that they had been considered worthy to suffer shame for His name. And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they kept right on teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ. Acts 5:40-42 NASB God did not give us a spir...
1 Thessalonians 4.9-18
"We don't have to write you about the need to love each other. God has
taught you to do this, and you already have shown your love for all
of his people in Macedonia. But, my dear friends, we ask you to do
even more. Try your best to live quietly, to mind your own business,
and to work hard, just as we taught you to do. Then you will be
respected by people who are not followers of the Lord, and you won't
have to depend on anyone.
The Lord's Coming
My friends, we want you to understand how it will be for those
followers who have already died. Then you won't grieve over them and
be like people who don't have any hope. We believe that Jesus died
and was raised to life. We also believe that when God brings Jesus
back again, he will bring with him all who had faith in Jesus before
