		<description>This is an ongoing invitation

Matthew 28 (New International Version)

&quot;All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20&lt;strong&gt;and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you&lt;/strong&gt;. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.&quot;

Acts 16 (New International Version)

 13On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate to the river, where we expected to find a place of prayer. We sat down and began to speak to the women who had gathered there. 14&lt;strong&gt;One of those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul&#039;s message.&lt;/strong&gt; 15When she and the members of her household were baptized, she invited us to her home. &quot;If you consider me a believer in the Lord,&quot; she said, &quot;come and stay at my house.&quot; And she persuaded us.


 16Once when we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit by which she predicted the future. She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling. 17This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, &quot;These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way to be saved.&quot; 18She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so troubled that he turned around and said to the spirit, &quot;In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!&quot; At that moment the spirit left her. 
 19When the owners of the slave girl realized that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to face the authorities. 20They brought them before the magistrates and said, &quot;These men are Jews, and are throwing our city into an uproar 21by advocating customs unlawful for us Romans to accept or practice.&quot; 

 22The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and beaten. 23After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully. 24Upon receiving such orders, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks. 

 25About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. 26Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody&#039;s chains came loose. 27The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped. 28But Paul shouted, &quot;Don&#039;t harm yourself! We are all here!&quot; 

 29&lt;strong&gt;The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. 30He then brought them out and asked, &quot;Sirs, what must I do to be saved?&quot; &lt;/strong&gt;

 31They replied, &quot;Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.&quot; 32&lt;strong&gt;Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house.&lt;/strong&gt; 33At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his family were baptized. 34&lt;strong&gt;The jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before them; he was filled with joy because he had come to believe in God—he and his whole family&lt;/strong&gt;.</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;2Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill &lt;strong&gt;the law of Christ&lt;/strong&gt;. 3If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 

4&lt;strong&gt;Each one should &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;test&lt;/strong&gt; his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, 5for each one should carry his own load.

6Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor. 

7Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
 8&lt;strong&gt;The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction&lt;/strong&gt;;

the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest &lt;strong&gt;if we do not give up&lt;/strong&gt;. 

10Therefore, &lt;strong&gt;as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people&lt;/strong&gt;, 

&lt;strong&gt;especially to those who belong to the family of believers&lt;/strong&gt;.
Galatians 6:&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Thank you for visiting, Ricky. I know you are diligently studying the word of God.  Continue praying for wisdom and understanding that comes from God.



&lt;blockquote&gt;God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which &lt;strong&gt;it is impossible for God to lie&lt;/strong&gt;, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged.
Hebrews 6:18&lt;/blockquote&gt;



Salamat po sa Dios! Thanks be to God, forever and ever!



&lt;blockquote&gt;Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name.
1 Chronicles 29:13&lt;/blockquote&gt;



I remain as an unworthy servant, I am nothing.



&lt;blockquote&gt;10So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, &lt;strong&gt;‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’ &lt;/strong&gt;”
Luke 17:&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>Ricky you sounded really like Zophar the Naamathite:



&lt;blockquote&gt;1 Then Zophar the Naamathite replied:
2 “My troubled thoughts prompt me to answer
because I am greatly disturbed. 

3 I hear a rebuke that dishonors me,
and my understanding inspires me to reply.
Job 20:&lt;/blockquote&gt;


Ricky, this is my reply to you:



&lt;blockquote&gt;...And you, my so-called friends, are no better— 
      there&#039;s nothing to you! 
   One look at a hard scene and you shrink in fear.
&lt;strong&gt;It&#039;s not as though I asked you for anything&lt;/strong&gt;— 
   I didn&#039;t ask you for one red cent—
&lt;strong&gt;Nor did I beg you to go out on a limb for me. 
   So why all this dodging and shuffling?&lt;/strong&gt; 

24-27 &lt;strong&gt;&quot;Confront me with the truth and I&#039;ll shut up, 
   show me where I&#039;ve gone off the track.
Honest words never hurt anyone, 
   but what&#039;s the point of all this pious bluster?&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;You pretend to tell me what&#039;s wrong with my life,&lt;/strong&gt; 
   but treat my words of anguish as so much hot air.
Are people mere things to you? 
   Are friends just items of profit and loss? 

28-30 &quot;Look me in the eyes! 
   Do you think I&#039;d lie to your face?
&lt;strong&gt;Think it over—no double-talk!&lt;/strong&gt; 
   Think carefully—my integrity is on the line!
&lt;strong&gt;Can you detect anything false in what I say?&lt;/strong&gt; 
   Don&#039;t you trust me to discern good from evil?&quot; 
Job 6:

4 &lt;strong&gt;You, however, smear me with lies; &lt;/strong&gt;
       you are worthless physicians, all of you! 

 5 &lt;strong&gt;If only you would be altogether silent! 
       For you, that would be wisdom. &lt;/strong&gt;

 6 &lt;strong&gt;Hear now my argument;&lt;/strong&gt; 
       listen to the plea of my lips. 

 7 &lt;strong&gt;Will you speak wickedly on God&#039;s behalf? 
       Will you speak deceitfully for him? &lt;/strong&gt;
Job 13:

4 &lt;strong&gt;&quot;I would like to reply to you 
       and to your friends with you.&lt;/strong&gt; 

 &lt;blockquote&gt;5 Look up at the heavens and see; 
       gaze at the clouds so high above you. &lt;/blockquote&gt;



 6 &lt;strong&gt;If you sin, how does that affect him? 
       If your sins are many, what does that do to him? &lt;/strong&gt;
 
7 &lt;strong&gt;If you are righteous, what do you give to him, 
       or what does he receive from your hand?&lt;/strong&gt; 

 8 &lt;strong&gt;Your wickedness affects only a man like yourself, 
       and your righteousness only the sons of men. &lt;/strong&gt;

 9 &quot;Men cry out under a load of oppression; 
       they plead for relief from the arm of the powerful. 

 10 &lt;strong&gt;But no one says, &#039;Where is God my Maker, 
       who gives songs in the night,&lt;/strong&gt; 

 11 &lt;strong&gt;who teaches more to us than to the beasts of the earth 
       and makes us wiser than the birds of the air?&#039; &lt;/strong&gt;

 12 He does not answer when men cry out 
       because of the arrogance of the wicked.
Job 35:&lt;/blockquote&gt;
