Refreshing Our Spirits With Scripture

1.20- What is the long term goal of a life well lived? It is true, internal freedom. What is the medium term goal? Good discipline in order to be all you can be. Proverbs 12. 12 If you love learning, you love the discipline that goes with it—     how shortsighted to refuse correction! 2  A good person basks in the delight of God ,     and he wants nothing to do with devious schemers. 3  You can’t find firm footing in a swamp,     but life rooted in God stands firm.

1.19- Is there a core principle behind all good laws?   Yes, Romans 13. When you love others, you complete what the law has been after all along. The law code—don’t sleep with another person’s spouse, don’t take someone’s life, don’t take what isn’t yours, don’t always be wanting what you don’t have, and any other “don’t” you can think of—finally adds up to this: Love other people as well as you do yourself. You can’t go wrong when you love others. When you add up everything in the law code, the sum total is love .

1.18- What about debt? Romans 13. 8- Don’t run up debts, except for the huge debt of love you owe each other.
