The Business Card and the Scriptures

The Business Card Explained

The "Business" is advancing the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Christians can accomplish this by speaking the good news that never changes which is the gospel of Jesus Christ and His redeeming love. We can speak the Word into the lives of our neighbors while lovingly helping those in need.

http://www.sermonaudio.com/ is a website that has thousands of sermons that you can download for free. I have listed thirteen speakers on the bottom of my card and two of them are spelled incorrectly. John MacArthur and Andrew Murray are the correct names. My favorite preacher in college whom I listened to dozen or sermons from is Paul Washer. John Barnett is the pastor I am listening to now during car rides to and from work or while I am doing yard work. Leonard Ravenhill has some magnificent sermons as well as Johnathan Edwards, George Whitefield and C.H. Spurgeon. C.H. Spurgeon is who my dad is listening to during this season in his early christian life.


If you go to http://www.sermonaudio.com/, you can search for speakers in the top column and then you can sort the sermons by "popular" to give you the sermons downloaded the most.

http://stu.westga.edu/~sburnet2 is the first website I made in college and I can not edit it anymore. If you ever want to see some of the best verses dealing with specific words or phrases, you should look at this website.



And now, we present some of the most amazing Scriptures in the Bible! 
Now, out of the 66 books of the Bible that contain 1189 chapters and approximately 31,103 verses, presented here are some of the most prized scriptures that I have come across. 
I hope you put some of these on notecards and commit them to memory so that when someone needs to know what the Bible is about, you can tell them something of this sort, "God sent His Holy Word, which was inspired by Him, perfect and established forever, to heal those who have been injured by the evil one and to deliever them from their own sin, their self destructive nature!

Hebrews 2:10  ¹⁰For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Hebrews 5:9  ⁹And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

 

 

THE GOSPEL

Isaiah 53:6  ⁶All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Isaiah 64:6  ⁶But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Romans 1:21-25 

 ²¹Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

 ²²Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

 ²³And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

 ²⁴Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

 ²⁵Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Romans 3:10  ¹⁰As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:¹¹There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.  ¹²They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Romans 3:23  ²³For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Galatians 3:10-13  ¹⁰For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.  ¹¹But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.  ¹²And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

 ¹³Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

Leviticus 17:11  ¹¹For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

Romans 5:8-10  ⁸But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  ⁹Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.  ¹⁰For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

More on the shedding of His blood…

2 Corinthians 5:17-21 

 ¹⁷Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

 ¹⁸And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

 ¹⁹To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

 ²⁰Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

 ²¹For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

1 Corinthians 15:3-6  ³For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;  ⁴And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:  ⁵And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:  ⁶After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.

Hosea 14:1-2  ¹O israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.  ²Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.

OUR DUTY

Mark 12:29-31  ²⁹And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:  ³⁰And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.  ³¹And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Deuteronomy 6 

 ¹Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:

 ²That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.

 ³Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.

 ⁴Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

 ⁵And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

 ⁶And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:

 ⁷And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

 ⁸And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

 ⁹And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

 ¹⁰And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,

 ¹¹And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;

 ¹²Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

 ¹³Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.

 ¹⁴Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;

 ¹⁵(For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.

 ¹⁶Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.

 ¹⁷Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.

 ¹⁸And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers.

 ¹⁹To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken.

 ²⁰And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath commanded you?

 ²¹Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:

 ²²And the LORD shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:

 ²³And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.

 ²⁴And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.

 ²⁵And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.

Romans 8:29 ²⁹For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Leviticus 11:44 ⁴⁴For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

1 Peter 2:13-14 ¹³Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;  ¹⁴Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

2 Timothy 2:15-16 ¹⁵Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. ¹⁶But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

Hosea 4:6  ⁶My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Romans 12:1-3  ¹I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.  ²And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.  ³For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

1 Corinthians 10:31 ³¹Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

Hebrews 13:15 ¹⁵By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

Matthew 5-7

1 Timothy 4

 ¹Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

 ²Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

 ³Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

 ⁴For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

 ⁵For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

 ⁶If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.

 ⁷But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.

 ⁸For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

 ⁹This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.

 ¹⁰For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

 ¹¹These things command and teach.

 ¹²Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

 ¹³Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

 ¹⁴Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

 ¹⁵Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

 ¹⁶Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

Philippians 4:4-8 

 ⁴Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

 ⁵Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

 ⁶Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

 ⁷And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

 ⁸Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Proverbs 4:20-23  ²⁰My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.  ²¹Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.  ²²For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.  ²³Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
