Every Word

There's no choice, really.   “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock.” - Revelation 3:20 (KJV)

Not everyone responds well.   “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.” - Revelation 3:19 (KJV)

When God steps on your toes…   “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten.” - Revelation 3:19 (KJV)

Clear, spiritual vision…   “Anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.” - Revelation 3:18 (NKJV)

Everyone loves a good deal.   “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.” - Isaiah 55:1 (NKJV)

That's your fitness for heaven.   “All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags.” - Isaiah 64:6 (KJV)

Nothing ever fit so well.   “Buy from me ... white garments, that you may be clothed.” - Revelation 3:18 (NKJV)

God wants everyone to be rich!   “I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich.” - Revelation 3:18 (NKJV)

Ignorance is not bliss.   “...that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.” - Revelation 3:17 (NKJV)

In between is disastrous.   “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.” - Revelation 3:15 (NKJV)

Wealth can be a trap.   “I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing.” - Revelation 3:17 (KJV)

It's important to be honest with God.   “Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing'—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.” - Revelation 3:17 (NKJV)

An urgent message…   “So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth.” - Revelation 3:16 (NKJV)

They were offended.   “But He passing through the midst of them went His way.” - Luke 4:30 (KJV)

“I love you all.”   “He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied.” - Isaiah 53:11 (KJV)

You always have something to pray for.   “My heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.” - Romans 10:1 (KJV)

There's a tradeoff somewhere.   “Godliness with contentment is great gain.” - 1 Timothy 6:6 (KJV)

That might be difficult.   “So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.” - Romans 14:12 (KJV)

God's blessing can get you through.   “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” - Genesis 6:8 (KJV)

The same will happen to you.   “...a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.” - Revelation 2:17 (NKJV)

Not remembering would be worse.   “There shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain.” - Revelation 21:4 (KJV)

God hears always.   “Pray without ceasing.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (KJV)

The simplest and yet one of the most difficult…   “Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures.” - 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 (KJV)

Church and state united.   “And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.” - Daniel 8:10 (KJV)

Like Roman ruins…   “...came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.” - Daniel 8:9 (KJV)

He died young.   “And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.” - Daniel 8:5 (KJV)

It seemed invincible.   “I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.” - Daniel 8:4 (KJV)

It's the Word of God.   “In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar … I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam.” - Daniel 8:1-2 (KJV)

Don't be intimidated.   “Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.” - Daniel 8:16 (KJV)

Smart people trust the Word of God.   “I have more understanding than all my teachers, for Your testimonies are my meditation.” - Psalm 119:99 (NKJV)

It was one in 30 million!   “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” - Psalm 139:14 (NKJV)

You can be right—and all wrong.    “Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.”  - 1 Corinthians 1:10 (NKJV) 

Give people the opportunity…    “We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden.”   - Genesis 3:2 (KJV) 

Time is short.    “Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will add to your days fifteen years.”'”  - Isaiah 38:5 (NKJV) 

It takes no special talent.    “Be kind to one another.”  - Ephesians 4:32 (NKJV)

God is THAT good!    “Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt.”   - Romans 4:4 (NKJV)

We'll all be much better off.    “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together…”  - Hebrews 10:25 (KJV) 

Her dignity was preserved.    “He who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.”  - James 5:20 (NKJV) 

In every language!    “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth His handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.”  - Psalm 19:1-3 (KJV)

What is covering you?    “He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge.”  - Psalm 91:4 (NKJV)

This shouldn't be an issue.    “I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.”  - Romans 14:14 (KJV)

That makes zero sense.    “You shall have no other gods before me.”  - Exodus 20:3 (NKJV) 

They make good sense.    “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.”   - Exodus 20:2 (NKJV) 

What place does God occupy in your life?    “The Lord is my shepherd.”  - Psalm 23:1 (KJV) 

We know how that works out.    “Oh, that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways! I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.”  - Psalm 81:13-14 (NKJV) 

“Let's try it your way, then.”    “But my people would not heed my voice, and Israel would have none of me. So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, to walk in their own counsels.”  - Psalm 81:11-12 (NKJV)
