Almost

Maui

The following week almost the entire city turned out to hear them preach the word of the Lord.

Wisdom and money can get you almost anything, but only wisdom can save your life.

The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living.

I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.

And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. [We are redeemed by the shed blood of the Lamb – Jesus Christ]

[ Religion Can't Save You ] If you're brought up Jewish, don't assume that you can lean back in the arms of your religion and take it easy, feeling smug because you're an insider to God's revelation, a connoisseur of the best things of God, informed on the latest doctrines! I have a special word of caution for you who are sure that you have it all together yourselves and, because you know God's revealed Word inside and out, feel qualified to guide others through their blind alleys and dark nights and confused emotions to God. While you are guiding others, who is going to guide you? I'm quite serious. While preaching "Don't steal!" are you going to rob people blind? Who would suspect you? The same with adultery. The same with idolatry. You can get by with almost anything if you front it with eloquent talk about God and his law. The line from Scripture, "It's because of you Jews that the outsiders are down on God," shows it's an old problem that isn't going to go away.

Acts 13:44 Ecclesiastes 7:12 Romans 13:12 Philippians 4:12 Hebrews 9:22 Romans 2:17

God’s gift to a dying world is the life=giving Savior.
