Morning: October 26, 2003
Text: Galatians 5:13-16 "For,
brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty
for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 14. For all
the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself. 15. But if ye bite and devour one another, take
heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 16. This I say then, Walk
in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh."
Galatians
5:13-14 "For, brethren, ye have been called
unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh,
but by love serve one another. 14. For all the law (given
to control the flesh) is fulfilled in one word, even in
this; Thou shalt (it takes grace to) love thy neighbour
as thyself."
Matthew
15:4-6 "For God commanded,
saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth
father or mother, let him die the death. 5. But ye say,
Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It
is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me (to help them financially);
6. And honour not his father or his mother, he
shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect
by your tradition."

John 3:17-19 "But whoso hath this world's good, and
seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from

let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but
in deed and in truth. 19. And hereby we know
that we are of the truth, and shall
assure our hearts before him."

one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel
against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14. And

bond (the glue) of perfectness. 15. And let the peace
of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are
called in one body; and be ye thankful."
