Proverbs 26:20

    This proverb reminds us that gossip is to a quarrel like dry wood is to a fire. If we cut off the supply of gossip, the ill feeling will die down just as a fire will die down if we cut off its supply of wood.

Psalm 101

    This psalm gives a great list of how we should live our lives.

  • Do not look at anything vile or vulgarHave nothing to do with those who deal crookedly
  • Reject perverse ideas and stay away from everything evil
  • Be intolerant of slander and refuse to be haughty and conceited

And most importantly:

  • Seek out people who are faithful for your companions

Philemon

    This letter reminds us that it is better to do things because we desire to do good than because we are required to do good. Paul goes so far as to offer payment for any financial loss which Philemon suffered, even though Philemon owes Paul a debt much greater than that. In like manner, when we consider what others owe us, let us remember how much greater is the debt which we owe to God, our Creator and theirs.

DSCN9691

Lamentations 1-2

    This passage recounts the sorrow that awaits for those who rebel against God. But it also contains a hint of the hope they can have if they turn back to God and obey Him once more.
