Faithful Church Attendance
Hebrews 10:24-25
24And let us consider one another to provoke
unto love and to good works: 25Not forsaking
the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but
exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Psalm 122:1
1I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go
into the house of the LORD.
2) Personal Daily Devotions
Psalm 119:9-16
9Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto
according to thy word. 10With my whole heart
have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
11Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I
might not sin against thee. 12Blessed art thou,
O LORD: teach me thy statutes. 13With my
lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
14I have rejoiced in the way of thy
testimonies, as much as in all riches. 15I
will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
16I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will
not forget thy word.
Psalm 119:97-105
97O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
98Thou through thy commandments hast made me
wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99I
have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my
meditation. 100I understand more than the
ancients, because I keep thy precepts. 101I
have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
102I have not departed from thy judgments: for
thou hast taught me. 103How sweet are thy
words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104Through thy precepts I get understanding:
therefore I hate every false way.105Thy word is
a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Joshua 1:8
8This book of the law shall not depart out of
thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest
observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt
make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
II Timothy 2:15
15Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a
workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
II Timothy 3:16-17
16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17That
the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
3) Fervent Prayer Life
Luke 18:1
1And he spake a parable unto them to this end,
that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
Romans 8:26-28
26Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not
what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh
intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what
is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints
according to the will of God. 28And we know
that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who
are the called according to his purpose.
James 5:16
16Confess your faults one to another, and pray
one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a
righteous man availeth much.
I Thessalonians 5:17-18
17Pray without ceasing. 18In
every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus
concerning you.
4) Christian Service & Soulwinning
John 15:1-8
1I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.2Every branch in me
that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit,
he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.3Now ye are clean through
the word which I have spoken unto you. 4Abide in me, and I in you. As
the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more
can ye, except ye abide in me. 5I am the vine, ye are the branches: He
that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for
without me ye can do nothing. 6If a man abide not in me, he is cast
forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into
the fire, and they are burned. 7If ye abide in me, and my words abide
in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my
disciples.
Philippians 2:5-8
5Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not
robbery to be equal with God: 7But made
himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was
made in the likeness of men: 8And being found
in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death,
even the death of the cross.
Romans 12:1-2
1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present
your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your
reasonable service. 2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that
good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
I Corinthians 6:19-20
19What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost
which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20For
ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your
spirit, which are God's.
Matthew 28:18-20
18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto
me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye therefore,
and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to
observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you
always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
5) Biblical Stewardship/Tithing
Malachi 3:6-11
6For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not
consumed. 7Even from the days of your fathers
ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto
me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said,
Wherein shall we return? 8Will a man rob God?
Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes
and offerings. 9Ye are cursed with a curse: for
ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. 10Bring
ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house,
and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you
the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be
room enough to receive it. 11And I will
rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of
your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the
field, saith the LORD of hosts.
Proverbs 3:9
9Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with
the firstfruits of all thine increase:
