THE TRUTH
“Apart from Me you can do
NOTHING.”-Jesus
(John 15:5)
1 JOHN 2:3-6
“The one who says, ‘I know Him’, but
does not do what He commands is a
liar, and the truth is not in him. But if
anyone obeys His word, God’s love is
truly made complete in him. This is how
we know we are in Him: Whoever
claims to live in Him must walk as
Jesus did.”
GALATIANS 5:19
“The acts of the sinful nature are obvious:
Sexual immorality, Impurity,
Debauchery, Idolatry, Witchcraft,
Hatred, Discord, Jealousy, Fits of Rage,
Selfish Ambition, Dissensions,
Factions, Envy; Drunkenness, Orgies,
and the like…I warn you that those who
live like this will not inherit the
Kingdom of God.”
COLOSSIANS 3:5-10
“Put to death, therefore, whatever
belongs to your sinful nature: Sexual
Immorality, Impurity, Lust, Evil Desires
and Greed, which is Idolatry…Now you
must rid yourselves of all such things
as these: Anger, Rage, Malice, Slander,
and Filthy Language…Do not Lie to
each other, since you have taken off
your old self with its practices, and
have put on the new self…”
2 PETER 3:11-12
“What kind of people ought
you to be?
You ought to live holy and
godly lives as you look
forward to the Day of God…”
HOW TO GET UNSTUCK

 1 Thessalonians 5:10-24

PROVERBS 11:28
“THE RIGHTEOUS WILL
THRIVE (GROW) LIKE A
GREEN LEAF.”
JOHN 7:38
“WHOEVER GIVES ALL
HIS LOYALTY TO ME
(PISTIS), STREAMS OF
LIVING WATER WILL
FLOW FROM WITHIN HIM.”
-Jesus
HOW TO GROW
“Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you. Be very
careful, then, how you live—not as unwise
but as wise, making the most of every
opportunity, because the days are evil.
Therefore do not be foolish, but
understand what the Lord’s will is…be
filled with the Spirit…speak to one another
with psalms…always giving thanks to God
the Father for everything…”Ephesians 5
