Genesis 22:1
"And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am."

Make no mistake, sin always leads to death. Romans 6:23 is still true when it says,
Revelation 4:1
"After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter."

James 3:17
"But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy."
Wisdom is dangerous in that it can fill a person with pride.
1 Timothy 4:15
"Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all."
Progress is one of the most important essentials to success in the Christian life, business and your personal life.
