Memory Verses Malachi 4:3 “You shall trample the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this,” says the Lord of hosts. Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Psalm 78:2
I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old Luke 12:48 But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.
Mark 5:34 And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”
