Whoever receives you receives Me and whoever rejects you, rejects Me also... But when you leave that house or city, shake even the dust off your feet..

We believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, begotten from the Father before all ages, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made; of the same essence as the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us humans and for our salvation He came down from heaven; He became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary, and was made man. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried. The third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. His kingdom will never end. And we believe in the Holy Spirit, which proceeds from the Father, the life giving spirit. He spoke through the prophets. We believe in one holy universal and apostolic church. We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look forward to the resurrection of the dead, and to life in the world to come. Amen.

For such individuals are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive...

Speak to us pleasant words; prophesy illusions... (Romans 16:18; Psalm 12:2; Isaiah 30:10)

The ungodly person is double-minded. He is unstable in all his ways... (James 1:8)

 

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful... But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night... He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper. The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked He turns upside down... (Psalm 1)

You created the heavens, the highest heavens with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them.
