If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words,
shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.
I tell you the truth,
it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.
Matthew 10:14,15
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.
But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
1 Corinthians 10:13
An active faith can give thanks for a promise, though it be not as yet performed;
knowing that God’s bonds are as good as ready money. -Matthew Henry (1662-1714)
Passive faith accepts the word as true- But never moves.
Active faith begins the work to do, And thereby proves. (Selected)
“For I tell you that many prophets and kings
wanted to see what you see but did not see it,
and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”
Luke 10:24
