MUTUAL ACCEPTANCE
Romans 14:1-16
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Romans+14:1-16
Dear Father, foundation of all our lives,
Make me compassionate and generous toward my brothers and sisters
in Christ. Let us welcome each other, and not dispute over
opinions. May I never pass judgment on a brother or sister, for you
have welcomed them. They are your servants. It is before you that
they stand or fall. And they will be upheld, for you are able to
make them stand.
Let us be fully convinced in our own minds about honoring certain
days, or about eating certain foods. Whether we honor a day or eat
a food, or whether we abstain, may we do it (or not do it) in
honor of you.
Thank you that none of us lives to self, and none dies to self.
Whether we live or die, we are yours! Thank you that Christ died to
this end: that he might be Lord both of those who have died and of
us who live. We know from what Jesus said: that all your saints are
alive to you.
In the name of Jesus, instill consideration for each other into
all of us. Amen.

The Gospels Church History
Mark 1-2 Sunday: I Corinthians 5-6
Monday: Genesis 44-47
Tuesday: I Samuel 6-10
Mark 1
1
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
2
As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
3
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
4
John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
5
And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
6
And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;
7
And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
8
I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
9
And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
10
And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
11
And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
12
And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness.
13
And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
14
Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
16
Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
17
And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
18
And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
19
And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.
20
And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
21
And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
22
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
23
And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24
Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
26
And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
27
And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.
28
And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.
29
And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30
But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.
31
And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
32
And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.
33
And all the city was gathered together at the door.
34
And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.
35
And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
36
And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.
37
And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.
38
And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.
39
And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.
40
And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
41
And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.
42
And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43
And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;
44
And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
45
But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
Mark 2
1
And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.
2
And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.
3
And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
4
And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
5
When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
6
But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7
Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
8
And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
9
Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
10
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
11
I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
12
And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
13
And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.
14
And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
15
And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.
16
And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
17
When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
18
And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?
19
And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
20
But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
21
No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.
22
And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
23
And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.
24
And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
25
And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?
26
How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?
27
And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
28
Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, so I might attain
the resurrection of the dead.
O God, let me obtain it! Let me be awake! Let me put on the armor

The Psalms
The Psalms
Psalms 30-32 Thursday: Job 21-22
Friday: Isaiah 56-61
Saturday: Mark 1-2
Psalms 30
1
I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2
O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3
O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4
Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6
And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7
LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8
I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.
9
What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
10
Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
11
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12
To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Psalms 31
1
In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
2
Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
3
For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.
4
Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.
5
Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.
6
I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.
7
I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;
8
And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.
9
Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
10
For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
11
I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.
12
I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
13
For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
14
But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.
15
My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
16
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.
17
Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
18
Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
19
Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
20
Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21
Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
22
For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
23
O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
24
Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.

Psalms 32
1
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2
Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3
When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
4
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
5
I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6
For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
7
Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
9
Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
10
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
11
Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart

Psalms 30
1
I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2
O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3
O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4
Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6
And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7
LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8
I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.
9
What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
10
Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
11
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12
To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

Psalms 31
1
In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
2
Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
3
For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.
4
Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.
5
Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.
6
I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.
7
I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;
8
And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.
9
Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
10
For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
11
I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.
12
I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
13
For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
14
But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.
15
My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
16
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.
17
Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
18
Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
19
Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
20
Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21
Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
22
For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
23
O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
24
Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
