English: World English Bible - WEB
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
19 because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them.
20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse.
21 Because, knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, neither gave thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves,
25 who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature.
27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.
28 Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,
30 backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;
32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them. from January 14, 2007

Proverbs 28:19Proverbs 28:19
English: World English Bible - WEB
19 One who works his land will have an abundance of food;
But one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty. tells us that “where there is no vision, the people perish.” I believe this be true for the Christian individually as well as the church corporately. To obtain the vision that is so imperative, we must spend time with the vision giver, Jesus Christ. Vision comes in that quiet place where we reflect on where we been and consider the direction we are heading. The main opponent to this process is the headlong sprint we call life and the things that we mistakenly perceive as priorities. We often lose our spiritual passion and perspective as the headlong plunge to accomplish daily tasks choke out our time with the Lord. Even our devotions can become just another box checked in a life too full to “be still and know that (He) is God.” [Read more]
