LENT
Ash Wednesday
Moreover when ye fast, be not, as
the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they
may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.But
thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;That thou appear
not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father,
which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
MATTHEW 6:16-18

But when thou doest alms, let not
thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:That thine alms may be in secret:
and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
MATTHEW 6:3-4
------------------------------------------
Be not ye therefore like unto them:
for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him.
MATTHEW 6:8
After this manner therefore pray
ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.Thy kingdom come. Thy
will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread. And
forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, for ever. Amen.
MATTHEW 6:9-13
------------------------------------------
For where your treasure is, there
will your heart be also.The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine
eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
MATTHEW 6:21-22
------------------------------------------
No man can serve two masters: for
either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the
one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
MATTHEW 6:24
------------------------------------------
Therefore I say unto you, Take no
thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for
your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body
than raiment?
Behold the fowls of the air: for
they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly
Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Which of you by taking thought can add one
cubit unto his stature?
And why take ye thought for
raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not,
neither do they spin:
And yet I say unto you, That even
Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Wherefore, if God so clothe the
grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall
he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Therefore take no thought, saying,
What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be
clothed?
(For after all these things do the
Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these
things.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
MATTHEW 6:25-33
