He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.” Revelation 21:4 NLT http://bible.com/116/rev.21.4.NLT

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that in due time he may exalt you. 1 Peter 5:6 RSV http://bible.com/2020/1pe.5.6.RSV

Thine, O Lord , is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord , and thou art exalted as head above all. 1 Chronicles 29:11 RSV http://bible.com/2020/1ch.29.11.RSV

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, Hebrews 12:1 RSV http://bible.com/2020/heb.12.1.RSV

“What am I to do with you, Ephraim? What do I make of you, Judah? Your declarations of love last no longer than morning mist and predawn dew. That’s why I use prophets to shake you to attention, why my words cut you to the quick: To wake you up to my judgment blazing like light. I’m after love that lasts, not more religion. I want you to know God , not go to more prayer meetings. You broke the covenant—just like Adam! You broke faith with me—ungrateful wretches! Hosea 6:6 MSG http://bible.com/97/hos.6.6.MSG

And now I have it all—and keep getting more! The gifts you sent with Epaphroditus were more than enough, like a sweet-smelling sacrifice roasting on the altar, filling the air with fragrance, pleasing God to no end. You can be sure that God will take care of everything you need, his generosity exceeding even yours in the glory that pours from Jesus. Our God and Father abounds in glory that just pours out into eternity. Yes. Philippians 4:19 MSG http://bible.com/97/php.4.19.MSG

We welcomed new friends into Nitro this evening, followed by a rousing game of long base!

Welcoming new friends to Nitro!

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come so they can have life. I want them to have it in the fullest possible way. John 10:10 NIRV http://bible.com/110/jhn.10.10.NIRV

“The world is full of so-called prayer warriors who are prayer-ignorant. They’re full of formulas and programs and advice, peddling techniques for getting what you want from God. Don’t fall for that nonsense. This is your Father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need. With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply. Like this: Our Father in heaven, Reveal who you are. Set the world right; Do what’s best— as above, so below. Keep us alive with three square meals. Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others. Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil. You’re in charge! You can do anything you want! You’re ablaze in beauty! Yes. Yes. Yes. Matthew 6:7‭-‬8 MSG http://bible.com/97/mat.6.7-8.MSG

“‘Men and women who have lived wisely and well will shine brilliantly, like the cloudless, star-strewn night skies. And those who put others on the right path to life will glow like stars forever. Daniel 12:3 MSG http://bible.com/97/dan.12.3.MSG

Appreciate your pastoral leaders who gave you the Word of God. Take a good look at the way they live, and let their faithfulness instruct you, as well as their truthfulness. There should be a consistency that runs through us all. For Jesus doesn’t change—yesterday, today, tomorrow, he’s always totally himself. Hebrews 13:8 MSG http://bible.com/97/heb.13.8.MSG

One more thing, friends: Pray for us. Pray that the Master’s Word will simply take off and race through the country to a groundswell of response, just as it did among you. And pray that we’ll be rescued from these scoundrels who are trying to do us in. I’m finding that not all “believers” are believers. But the Master never lets us down. He’ll stick by you and protect you from evil. 2 Thessalonians 3:3 MSG http://bible.com/97/2th.3.3.MSG

I look up to the mountains; does my strength come from mountains? No, my strength comes from God , who made heaven, and earth, and mountains. Psalm 121:1 MSG http://bible.com/97/psa.121.1.MSG

Friends come and friends go, but a true friend sticks by you like family. Proverbs 18:24 MSG http://bible.com/97/pro.18.24.MSG

Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: “God authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I’ll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19 MSG http://bible.com/97/mat.28.19.MSG
