No one is better than his word.

You can’t straddle the fence.  The devil owns the fence.

“But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served behind the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living.  But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”     Joshua 24:15

You cannot be great without serving.

“But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.”     Matthew 23:11

“If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.  For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.  Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither He that is sent greater than He that sent Him.”       John 13:14-16

No one can shine and not be seen.

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”       Matthew 5:16

A house built on the sand will not stand.

“And everyone that heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:   And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell:  and great was the fall of it.”      Matthew 7:26-27

There is no ease in walking the transgressor’s way.

“Good understanding giveth favour:  but the way of transgressors is hard.”   Proverbs 13:15

No one is better than his word.

“Lying lips are abomination to the Lord:  but they that deal truly are His delight.”   Proverbs 12:22

“Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.”   Proverbs 19:1

“Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.”    II Corinthians 8:21

“Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.”   Exodus 20:16

No one can serve God in Satan’s kingdom

“No man can serve two masters:  for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.  Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”      Matthew 6:24

You can’t move forward while you are looking back.

“And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”      Luke 9:62

“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus”     Philippians 3:14

“If you would find today tolerable and tomorrow tenable, give yourself unreservedly to Truth.  Falsehood may take the day, but not tomorrow.  Only the Truth outlasts the days.

The world may try to turn off and leave the Truth, but on the earth’s completion of another cycle the unadorned realities will still be standing there and demanding that they be faced.

Truth is indestructible:  club it, beat it, knife it, shoot it, strap it in the electric chair, but it refuses to die.  It is immortal.”        ~ Leroy Brownlow
