Romans 13:14
“But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.”
The world has a standard for success: fame and fortune.
The business world has a standard of dressing for success.
Gods standard is clearly shown:
This is God’s formula for success!
~
Ephesians 6:13-18
Wherefore take unto you the
WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD,
that ye may be able to
WITHSTAND
in the evil day,
and having done all, to stand.
STAND THEREFORE,
having your loins girt about with
TRUTH,
and having on the
BREASTPLATE of RIGHTEOUSNESS;
And your feet shod with the preparation of the
GOSPEL of PEACE;
Above all, taking the
SHIELD of FAITH,
wherewith
ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
And take the
HELMET of SALVATION
and the
SWORD of the SPIRIT
which is
THE WORD OF GOD:
PRAYING ALWAYS
with
ALL PRAYER
and
SUPPLICATION IN THE SPIRIT
and
WATCHING
thereunto with
ALL PERSEVERANCE
and
SUPPLICATION FOR ALL SAINTS!

Dan Crawford (1870-1926) spent most of his adult life
serving as a missionary in Africa.
When it was time to return home to Britain,
Crawford described to an old Bantu
the kind of world he was about to return to.
He told him about ships that ran under the water,
on the water, and even those that flew above the water.
He described English houses with all of their conveniences,
such as running water and electric lights.
Then Crawford waited for the old African
to register his amazement.
“Is that all, Mr. Crawford?” the aged man asked.
“Yes, I think it is,” Crawford replied.
Very slowly and very gravely, the old Bantu said,
“Well, Mr. Crawford, you know,
that to be better off is not to be better.”

Deuteronomy 30:19-20
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you,
that I have set before you life and death,
blessing and cursing:
therefore
CHOOSE LIFE,
that both thou and thy seed may live:
That thou mayest love the Lord thy God,
and that thou mayest obey His voice,
and that thou mayest cleave unto Him:
for
HE IS THY LIFE,
and the
LENGTH OF THY DAYS!

Acts 16:30-31
”Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
And they said,
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”

Romans 10:8-13
But what saith it?
The word is nigh thee,
even in thy mouth,
and in thy heart:
that is,
the word of faith, which we preach;
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth
the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart
that God hath raised Him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness;
and with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation.
For the scripture saith,
Whosoever
believeth on Him
shall not be ashamed.
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek:
for the same Lord over
ALL
is rich unto
ALL
that call upon Him.
For whosoever shall CALL upon the NAME of the Lord
SHALL BE SAVED.
