Cornerstone Baptist Church
Rock Hill, South Carolina, USA
From
2nd Timothy Chapter 3
3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,
proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,
incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of
God;
3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such
turn away.
From
Hebrews Chapter 1
1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past
unto the fathers by the prophets,
1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath
appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
From
Exodus Chapter 33
33:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the
people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the
land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto
thy seed will I give it:
33:2 And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the
Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite,
and the Jebusite:
33:3 Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in
the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume
thee in the way.
33:4 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no
man did put on him his ornaments.
33:5 For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel,
Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a
moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee,
that I may know what to do unto thee.
33:6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments
by the mount Horeb.
33:7 And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp,
afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the
congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD
went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the
camp.
33:8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that
all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked
after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.
33:9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the
cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and
the Lord talked with Moses.
33:10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle
door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent
door.
33:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto
his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua,
the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
33:12 And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up
this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me.
Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace
in my sight.
33:13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight,
show me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy
sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.
33:14 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee
rest.
33:15 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not
up hence.
33:16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have
found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall
we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the
face of the earth.
33:17 And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou
hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by
name.
From
Joshua Chapter 1
1:5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of
thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail
thee, nor forsake thee.
1:6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou
divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to
give them.
1:7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to
do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn
not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper
whithersoever thou goest.
1:8 This 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.
1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not
afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee
whithersoever thou goest.
From
Matthew Chapter 28
28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded
you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
From
Psalms Chapter 23
23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside
the still waters.
23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I
will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they
comfort me.
23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
From
1st Kings Chapter 17
17:6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and
bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
From
Psalms Chapter 50
50:1 The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth
from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
50:3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour
before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
50:4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he
may judge his people.
50:5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant
with me by sacrifice.
50:6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge
himself. Selah.
50:7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify
against thee: I am God, even thy God.
50:8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings,
to have been continually before me.
50:9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy
folds.
50:10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a
thousand hills.
50:11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the
field are mine.
50:12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine,
and the fulness thereof.
50:13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
50:14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
50:15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and
thou shalt glorify me.
50:16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my
statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
50:17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and casteth my words behind thee.
50:18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast
been partaker with adulterers.
50:19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
50:20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest
thine own mother's son.
50:21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest
that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee,
and set them in order before thine eyes.
50:22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces,
and there be none to deliver.
50:23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his
conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
From
2nd Corinthians Chapter 12
12:1 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to
visions and revelations of the Lord.
12:2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the
body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God
knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
12:3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I
cannot tell: God knoweth;)
12:4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable
words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
12:5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in
mine infirmities.
12:6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I
will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me
above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of
the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the
messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
12:8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart
from me.
12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my
strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I
rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon
me.
12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in
necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when
I am weak, then am I strong.
