One thing, two things: forgetting what's behind, and straining for what is ahead, for the full and final experience of God in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 3:12-4:1

Paul disciplined himself to treasure the gospel that he would share in it. The exodus fathers provided examples of turning from God.

1 Corinthians 9:23-27

We now look to Him who has made us whole, and become more like Him. We are invited into the wholeness of which David speaks.

Love is shown through diligence in managing your own affairs.

1 Thessalonians 4:9-12

Do not be distressed. You will be with Jesus. You know him, and so you know the way to the Father, and you know the Father.

David's hope is based on God's commitment to His own name.

The Father and the Son ... at work to bring healing, life, and fellowship.

Let us go on to maturity, knowing that God's purposes, for his children's good, are secured in Jesus.

Hebrews 5:11-6:3

We have the opportunity to provide our brothers and sisters with a service of eternal value. We do so by reflecting the heart of God.

Beware of placing your confidence in wealth. Beware of abusing others in pursuing wealth. If you're in this boat, weep.

God alone is the lawgiver and assessor, and he alone can save and destroy. I am in no position to cast a verdict on my brother, so don't.

In the midst of my waywardness, God's grace abounds. It is a grace that calls for active, sincere submission, and single-minded devotion.

The prayer of the downcast: for God's light and truth to lead him back into communion with God. Meanwhile, he has resolved to hope in God.

The gospel is worth our focus. Exalt in the excellent; avoid the worthless. Be fair and decisive with those who stir for division.

Through God's mercy in Christ, Christians are heirs of eternal life, and in need of reminding about how this should affect their behaviour.

Let our tongues yield the fruit of God's mighty redeeming work. It makes no sense for corrupt words to flow out of a renewed heart.

Spiritual maturity means appreciating and chosing what is truly good.

Hebrews 5:11-14

Hold Christ the King as first place in your heart. Hold him as your hope, and when people want to know more, be ready to gently explain.

1 Peter 3:13-16

What does a well-ordered life look like? It is devoted to the Lord, undistracted ... and knows time is short.

1 Corinthians 7:26-35

How can we be free from anxieties? Be anxious about one thing - how to please the Lord.

1 Corinthians 7:26-35

The time remaining is short so live as though undistracted, including in relation to marriage.

1 Corinthians 7:26-31

Look at Jesus. In Him, we are brothers and sisters with God's people of old.

James 1:4-5

A day will come when those who endure will stand before God in Christ, perfect and complete. Should 'perfect and complete' be understood as Id/Exp, or P (or S)? I think P. We are made perfect when we trust in Christ (Heb 10:14), and then we are completed, as we endure. As we let steadfastness have it's effect, our faith is progressively tested and proven.
