ministry verses
Topic: 2002
so - i've been compiling in my one notebook (i have a BUNCH of notebooks....) verses that are important to me in ministry.....

hebrews 4:12

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.

1 corinthians 4:1-2

so then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the secret things of God. now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.

2 corinthians 4:1-2,5,7

therefore, since through God's mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. on the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly, we commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.... for we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.... but we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.

colossians 1:28-29

we proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. to this end i labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me.

galatians 6:9

let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

2 corinthians 12:15

so i will very gladly spend for you everything i have and expend myself as well. if i love you more, will you love me less?
