one thing: the last of the human freedoms –

sincerity and in faithfulness. Put away the gods
that your fathers served beyond the River and in
Egypt, and serve the LORD. And if it is evil in your

you will serve, whether the gods your fathers
served in the region beyond the River, or the gods
of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as
for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.“

honorable, whatever is just, whatever is
pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is
commendable, if there is any excellence, if
there is anything worthy of praise, think about
these things. What you have learned and
received and heard and seen in me—practice
these things, and the God of peace will be
with you.
Philippians 4:8-9 (ESV)

9. I know how to be brought low, and I know
how to abound. In any and every

facing plenty and hunger, abundance and
need. I can do all things through him who
strengthens me.
