Teachings of Christ

Thieves

Matthew 6:19 

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

John 4:40 

So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days.

Timidness

Mark 4:40 

He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”

Tithes

Luke 18:11-12 

11 The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.

12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’

Traditions

Matthew 7:9 

“Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?

Matthew 7:13 

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through Transgressions

Matthew 15:2 

“Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don't wash their hands before they eat!”

Thoughts

~ Prayer does not mean simply to pour out one's heart.  It means rather to find the way to God and to speak with him, whether the heart is full or empty. - Dietrich Bonhoeffer

~ A dear old friend of mine used to say with the truest Christian charity, when he heard any one being loudly condemned for some fault:  "Ah! well, yes, it seems very bad to me, because it is not my way of sinning!" - Charles D. Williams
