how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have
lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of
the money you received for the land? Didn't it belong to

money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a
thing? You have not lied to men but to God." Acts 5:3-4(NIV) |

forefathers through the prophets at many times and in
various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by
his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through
whom he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God's
glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining
all things by his powerful word. After he had provided
purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the
Majesty in heaven. Hebrews 1:1-3(NIV) |

is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and
the ruler of the kings of the earth. |

freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a
kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father--to him be
glory and power for ever and ever! Amen. Revelation 1:4-6(NIV) |
