We should all play an active role in a church.

Blessed are the flexible; they shall not be broken.

We should actively look for opportunities to serve.

We should be determined in our efforts to serve the Lord.

We should not turn back when things do not go well.

We should serve God with Spirit led wisdom.

You should be committed in your service to the Lord.

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a Discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

3 Defend the poor and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and needy. 4 Deliver the poor and needy; Free them from the hand of the wicked.

I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

Know the state of your flocks, and put your heart into caring for your herds,

6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your "Yes" be "Yes," and your "No," "No," lest you fall into judgment.

Just say a simple, 'Yes, I will,' or 'No, I won't.' Your word is enough. To strengthen your promise with a vow shows that something is wrong.

For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.
