Philippians 4:7 - "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Throughout this letter Paul tells us "I have all, and abound"; "my God shall supply"; "Rejoice in the Lord"; "I thank my God"; "I trust in the Lord"; Over and over Paul reminds us that whatever we are going through in life (in Paul's case, he was in prison anticipating his death) don't worry because God is in complete control. He is allowing the circumstances for a reason, and that reason is always to strengthen us. God's peace which passeth all understanding led Paul to say "in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." - Garrett Longest

Romans 11:33 - "O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!  how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!"  We have an amazing God!  Let's take advantage of His wisdom by asking for it this year. - John Mark Brothers

Matthew 20:27-28 - "And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many" As men, the temptation is to try to be in charge of everything and everybody.  Let's try to look for opportunities to serve those in our families and in our church this year. - Jason Myers

II Timothy 2:15 - “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Paul reminds Timothy and us to daily read, study, and correctly apply God’s Word in our walk, conversation, and daily life.  Let’s remember this as we start this new year of 2016. - Clifford Myers

Philippians 3:17 - "Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample." I'm so thankful that we have a church full of Christ-honoring men and women that my children can look up to as they grow up. - Phil Dann

Psalm 3:3 - "But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head." - How blessed we are to have a shield in God to hide from the attacks of this world. But not only do we hide there, He is also the One that lifts us up when we are down. Remember, no matter what we may face this week, we have a God to go to in trouble Who will raise us up when we are down. And He NEVER fails. - Matt Stephens

Psalm 2:8 - "Ask of me and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession." I don't think this is too much of a stretch to say that this verse could be taken as; if we would ask God in prayer for the souls of the unsaved we are working on, he will answer our prayer with their salvation being added to our account. Are we praying like we should for those lost souls that we know? -Brian Boots
