Encouragement: Mantras From The Scriptures, Good For Your Comfort!
I will do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility, I consider others better than myself. Accordingly, I look not only to my own interests, but also to the interests of others. I will do everything without complaining or arguing, so that I may become blameless and pure. I am a child of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which I shine like a star in the universe.
Pay Your Tithes; God Wants You To Eat Them!
Did you know that if you pay your tithes, God said, you are to eat them before the Lord thy God? The Bible clearly says or shows that the tithe was edible, i.e., from the promised “land” of Canaan. In fact, it means only the land owners that earned their living from the soil (i.e., farmers and ranchers) had to tithe. The Levites were the exception…
Worship God In Spirit And Truth; That Pleases Him!
God is Spirit, and those who worship God must be led by the Spirit to worship him according to the truth. We are God’s temple [1 Corinthians 3:16]. He is ALWAYS with you. That means you do not have to go to a building or a place to meet Him. So, you can worship Him anywhere.

Father, Son, Holy-Spirit Share One Name: The Name Jesus
I know you may not be convinced that Jesus is the name of the Father and the Holy Spirit. Maybe it’s because of tradition or what you’ve been taught. The apostles obeyed the instructions given by Jesus. They went to them all, taught them, and baptized them using the name Jesus. Because that is the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Search the Scriptures, especially in Acts (aka ‘The Acts of the Apostles’). If you can find that anyone baptized saying “in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost)” in the Bible, please share it.

This is a brief snack to aid in getting to know the meaning of ‘temperance’. The ASV in 1901 was the first to translate egkrateia as ‘self-control’ in Galatians 5:23.
