Philippians
1:20-24 NLT
20 For I fully expect and hope that
I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for
Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will
bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die.
21 For to me, living means living
for Christ, and dying is even better.
22 But if I live, I can do more
fruitful work for Christ. So I really don’t know which is better.
23 I’m torn between two desires: I
long to go and be with Christ, which would be far better for me.
24 But for your sakes, it is better
that I continue to live.
For
The Lost They Are In The Presence Of ....

The
Body Will Decay And Perish.
Job 19:26 KJV
Job's faith.
And though after my skin worms
destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
THE CLOCK OF
LIFE
The clock of life is wound but once,
And no man has the power
To tell just when the hands will
stop
At late or early hour.
To lose one's wealth is sad indeed,
To lose one's health is more,
To lose one's soul is such a loss
That no man can restore.
The present only is our own,
So Live, Love, toil with a will --
Place no faith in 'Tomorrow' --
For the clock may then be still.

Proverbs 27:1 KJV
Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
Matthew 16:24-26 KJV
24 Then said Jesus unto His
disciples, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and
take up his cross, and follow Me.
25 For whosoever will save his life
shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall
find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he
shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a
man give in exchange for his soul?
