Joshua 24:15

If it seems evil to you to serve the Lord,

choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve,

whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River,

or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.

But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Mark 12:29-31

Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is:

‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,

with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’

This is the first commandment.

And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

There is no other commandment greater than these.

Sept

Mark 10: 42-45

Jesus said to his disciples,

“You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them,

and their great ones exercise authority over them.

Yet it shall not be so among you;

but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.

And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all.

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve,

and to give His life a ransom for many.”

“Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle,

And more than every beast of the field;

On your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.

And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed;

He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.”

and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.

And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever,

and of His kingdom there will be no end.”

Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden,

For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

Marc

Matthew 7:1-5

“Judge not, that you be not judged.

For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged;

and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye,

but do not consider the plank in your own eye?

Or how can you say to your brother,

‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’;

and look, a plank is in your own eye?

Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye,

and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”

Acts 2:1-4

When the Day of Pentecost had fully come,

they were all with one accord in one place.

And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind,

and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and sat upon each of them.

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues,

as the Spirit gave them utterance.
