Becoming like Christ for the sake of others

Stay Focused Everyone 9/20/16

“Do not forsake the assembling of yourselves together, as is the habit of some, but encourage and admonish one another, and all the more faithfully, as you see the day approaching.”  Hebrews 11:25  Amplified
“Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God, approved, a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing, rightly handling and skillfully teaching, the Word of Truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15 Amplified
The apostles said, “We must continue to devote ourselves steadfastly to prayer and the ministry of the Word.” Acts 6:4 Amplified
