We should line up our lives with God's purpose for our life.

We are called and invited to use our lives and our resources to help and fund the work of God.

The Word of the Lord comes from the Bible and through the servant of the Lord.

16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17 God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

While they were bringing out the money collected at the Lord's Temple, Hilkiah the priest found the Book of the Law of the Lord that was written by Moses.

"Go to Hilkiah the high priest and have him count the money the gatekeepers have collected from the people at the Lord's Temple.

Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the court secretary, "I have found the Book of the Law in the Lord's Temple!" Then Hilkiah gave the scroll to Shaphan, and he read it.

But He said to them, "Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:

Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are blameless?

And He answered and said to them, "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female,'

But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,

But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?

I now send you, 18 to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.'

16 "O Lord our God, even this material we have gathered to build a Temple to honor your holy name comes from you! It all belongs to you! 17 I know, my God, that you examine our hearts and rejoice when you find integrity there. You know I have done all this with good motives, and I have watched your people offer their gifts willingly and joyously.

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.

But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved.

He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."

22 You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart. 23 For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God. 24 As the Scriptures say,
"People are like grass;
their beauty is like a flower in the field.
The grass withers and the flower fades.
25 But the word of the Lord remains forever."
