1 John 2:15-17 NKJV"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever."John 15:16C-19 NLT"I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using My name. This is My command: Love each other. If the world hates you, remember that it hated Me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you."Matthew 22:37C-39 NIV84"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself."Acts 2:47C NIVThe Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.Proverbs 16:9 ESVThe heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.Mark 16:15 ESV "Go into all the world and proclaim the Gospel to the whole creation." John 8:12 NIV84"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. "In Matthew 22:36C-39 NKJV"Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?" Jesus said to him, "you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself."Luke Chapter 22:52 NKJV "Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done. "John 3:16 NIV84"For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." Romans Chapter 5:8 NIV84God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.1 John 3:16A NIV84 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us.Ephesians 3:18-19 NLT And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.John 13:34 NIV84 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."John 14:15 NIV"If you love me, keep my commands."1 Corinthians 13:1-8A NIV84If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.Galatians 6:9-10 NIVLet us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.Matthew 25:34-45 NIVThen the King will say to those on his right, Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I

1 John 2:15-17 (NKJV)“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.” People have a problem loving God because they are buried alive by the love of the world. Genesis 3:1-7 (NLT) The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the Lord has made. One day he asked the woman, “Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?” “Of course we may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,” the woman replied. “It's only the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. God said, “You must not eat or even touch it; if you do, you will die.” “You won't die!” The serpent replied to the woman. “God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.” The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it, then she gave some to her husband who was with her and he ate it to. At that moment they felt shame at their nakedness.” Lust of the eyes (she saw) lust of flesh (beautiful/delicious) and pride of life (what it would do for her). Ephesians 2:1–2 NKJK“And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience”1 John 5:19 NLT“The world around us is under control of the evil one”.John 12:31 NLT“The time for judging this world has come, when satan, the ruler of this world will be cast out. And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself.” You can’t enjoy the love of God when your enduring the love of the world. Romans 10:13“Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved!”

Malachi 3:10 NIV84"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this", says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it."Psalm 24:1 NIV"The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it."Deuteronomy 8:17 NIV"You may say to yourself, my power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me. But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth."Luke 16:11 NIV"So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?" The Penny Pincher.The Shopaholic.The Big Spender. The High Roller. Proverbs 22:26-27 NIV"Do not be a man who strikes hands in pledge or puts up security for debts; if you lack the means to pay, your very bed will be snatched from under you."Proverbs Chapter 22:7 NLT"Just as the rich rule the poor, so the borrower is servant to the lender."Ecclesiastes 6:9B GN"It is better to be satisfied with what you have than to always be wanting something else."Proverbs 21:20B GN"Stupid people spend their money as fast as they get it."Proverbs 21:5 NIV84"The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty."Matthew 6:19-21 ESV"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."Ecclesiastes 5:10 NIV84"Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income."Luke Chapter 12:15 NIV84"Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."Matthew 6:24 ESVNo one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.1 Timothy 6:6-7 NIV84"But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it."
