Love with Actions

Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. ~ 1 John 3:18 (NIV)

Living and Active

God's Word is the authority to base everything on...it judges the thoughts and attitudes of our heart.

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. ~ Hebrews 4:12 (NIV 1984)

Overflow of the Heart

For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. ~ Matthew 12:34b-35 (NIV 1984)

Defiance Doesn't Make Sense

A wicked man puts up a bold front, but an upright man gives thought to his ways. ~ Proverbs 21:29 (NIV 1984)

Defiant?

Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice. ~ Proverbs 13:10 (NIV 1984)

Discipline

Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid. ~ Proverbs 12:1 (NIV 1984)

Whatever You Do
