For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds.

“What do you mean, ‘If I can?’ Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.”

I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; the humble shall hear of it and be glad.

Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God.

Yet I am confident I will see the Lord’s goodness while I am here in the land of the living.

I waited patiently for the Lord; and He...heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth.

My son, you are always with me, and all I have is yours.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.

But when he came to himself, he said, “How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!”

But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.

I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.

“In the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels when even one sinner repents.”

You are members of God's family. Together, we are his house... We are carefully joined together in him, becoming a holy temple for the Lord.

Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others—the armies of heaven—praising God and saying, “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.”

But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children.

Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end...to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

For a child is born to us, a son is given to us... And he will be called…Prince of Peace.

For a child is born to us, a son is given to us... And he will be called…Mighty God, Everlasting Father…

For a child is born to us, a son is given to us... And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor…

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder.
