Scripture for Reflection and Preparation (HCSB)

1 Corinthians 12:4-11

“4 Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit.  5 There are different ministries, but the same Lord.  6 And there are different activities, but the same God is active in everyone and everything.  7 A manifestation of the Spirit is given to each person to produce what is beneficial: 8 to one is given a message of wisdom through the Spirit, to another, a message of knowledge by the same Spirit, 9 to another, faith by the same Spirit, to another, gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another, the performing of miracles, to another, prophecy, to another, distinguishing between spirits, to another, different kinds of languages, to another, interpretation of languages.  11 But one and the same Spirit is active in all these, distributing to each one as He wills.”

Matthew 25:31-46

“31 ‘When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.  32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.  33 He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left.  34 Then the King will say to those on His right, “Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.  35 For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you took care of Me; I was in prison and you visited Me.”’ 

Joshua 24:14-15

“14 ‘Therefore, fear the Lord and worship Him in sincerity and truth.  Get rid of the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and worship the Lord.  15 But if it doesn't please you to worship the Lord, choose for yourselves today the one you will worship: the gods your fathers worshiped beyond the Euphrates River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living.  As for me and my family, we will worship the Lord.’”
