Jesus and Me

I traveled along upon this lonesome way, my burdens were heavy and dark was my day; I looked for a friend, and

knowing that He had all of the time been looking for me. Now it is Jesus and me for each, tomorrow, for every heartache and every

sorrow; I know that I can depend upon my new found friend, and so till the end it’s Jesus and me.

Forever I’ll sing of His great love to me, forever I’ll tell it on land and on sea, I’ll stay by His side, contented I’ll be for all

of my life it’s Jesus and me. Now it is Jesus and me for each tomorrow, for every heartache and ev’ry

sorrow; I know that I can depend upon my new found friend, and so till the end it’s Jesus and me.

Do You Have What it Takes to be a Christian? 1 Timothy 6: Timothy Lesson 1 1 Timothy Lesson 1

1 Timothy 6:11-16 But flee from these things, you man of God; and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 13 I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate,

14 that you keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 which He will bring about at the proper time-- He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords; 16 who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen. 1 Timothy 6:11-16
