CONSISTENCY IN WHO WE SERVE REVELATION 2: “I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.

CONSISTENCY IN WHO WE SERVE 1 CORINTHIANS 9: Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. 27 but I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

CONSISTENCY DEFINES US MATTHEW 5:37 37 But let your ‘yes’ be ‘yes,’ and your ‘no,’ ‘no.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.

CONSISTENCY DEFINES US Revelation 3: “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 so then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth.

CONSISTENCY DEFINES US Revelation 2: “and to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, ‘These things says the son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet like fine brass: 19 “I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. 20 Notwithstanding

IT IS GOING TO TAKE WORK LUKE 9: Then he said to another, “follow me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” 60 Jesus said to him, “let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of god.” 61 and another also said, “Lord, I will follow you, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.” 62 but Jesus said to him, “no one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
