The way of a sluggard is like a
hedge of thorns, but the path of
the upright is a level highway.
(Proverbs 15:19)
At that time I will search
Jerusalem with lamps, and I will
punish the men who are complacent,
those who say in their hearts,
‘The Lord
will not do good, nor will he do
ill.’ Their goods shall be
plundered, and their houses laid
waste. Though they build houses,
they shall not inhabit them;
though they plant vineyards, they
shall not drink wine from them.”
(Zephaniah 1:12,13)
Now concerning the times and the
seasons, brothers, you have no
need to have anything written to
you. For you yourselves are fully
aware that the day of the Lord
will come like a thief in the
night. While people are saying,
“There is peace and security,”
then sudden destruction will come
upon them as labor pains come upon
a pregnant woman, and they will
not escape. But you are not in
darkness, brothers, for that day
to surprise you like a thief. For
you are all children of light,
children of the day. We are not of
the night or of the darkness. ...
(1 Thessalonians 5:1-11)
But test everything; hold fast
what is good.
(1 Thessalonians 5:21)
For the time is coming when people
will not endure sound teaching,
but having itching ears they will
accumulate for themselves teachers
to suit their own passions, and
will turn away from listening to
the truth and wander off into
myths.
(2 Timothy 4:3,4)
About this we have much to say,
and it is hard to explain, since
you have become dull of hearing.
For though by this time you ought
to be teachers, you need someone
to teach you again the basic
principles of the oracles of God.
You need milk, not solid food,
(Hebrews 5:11,12)
For it is impossible, in the case
of those who have once been
enlightened, who have tasted the
heavenly gift, and have shared in
the Holy Spirit, and have tasted
the goodness of the word of God
and the powers of the age to come,
and then have fallen away, to
restore them again to repentance,
since they are crucifying once
again the Son of God to their own
harm and holding him up to
contempt.
(Hebrews 6:4-6)
Wake up, and strengthen what
remains and is about to die, for I
have not found your works complete
in the sight of my God.
(Revelation 3:2)
“‘I know your works: you are
neither cold nor hot. Would that
you were either cold or hot! So,
because you are lukewarm, and
neither hot nor cold, I will spit
you out of my mouth.
(Revelation 3:15,16)
