Why do the nations rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Show me your way
eye for eye
"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil.

Elijah Confronts Ahab
"Is it you, you troubler of Israel?"
When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

Still I Will Hope in God
Though he slay me, I will hope in him
many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven

To God be the glory
Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

The Lord Knows
These are the records of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were recorded at the commandment of Moses, the responsibility of the Levites under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
$46 Million in gold, by the way.
And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened."

hyssop
Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the Euphrates to the land of the Philistines and to the border of Egypt. They brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.
He has risen.
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover."

The good portion
"Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her."
The Temple Burned
In the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month—that was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon—Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard, who served the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem. And he burned the house of the LORD, and the king’s house and all the houses of Jerusalem; every great house he burned down.Saturday, November 12, 2011
A Living Stone and a Holy People
And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
"Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
a cornerstone chosen and precious,
and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame."
So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe,
"The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone,"
and
"A stone of stumbling,
and a rock of offense."

Test the spirits
Test the Spirits
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.
Do Not Forsake Me, O LORD
O my God, be not far from me!
Make haste to help me,
O Lord, my salvation!
Make haste to help me,
O Lord, my salvation!
