Book of Luke: An Angel appears to the shepherds


Luke 2:13-20 (NKJV)

[13] And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
[14] “Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
[15] So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.”
[16] And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger.
[17] Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child.
[18] And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
[19] But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.
[20] Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.

Book of James: Faith without works is useless


James 2:14-20 (NKJV)

[14] What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?
[15] If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food,
[16] and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?
[17] Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
[18] But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
[19] You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!
[20] But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

Book of I Samuel: Hannah's promise



I Samuel 1:8-11 (NKJV)

[8] Then Elkanah her husband said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? Why do you not eat? And why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
[9] So Hannah arose after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the tabernacle of the Lord.
[10] And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the Lord and wept in anguish.
[11] Then she made a vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.”

Matthew 6:19-21 (NKJV)


[19] “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal;
[20] but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
[21] For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Book of II Kings: Manasseh provoked God to anger



II Kings 21:1-6 (NKJV)

[1] Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah.
[2] And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.
[3] For he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; he raised up altars for Baal, and made a wooden image, as Ahab king of Israel had done; and he worshiped all the host of heaven and served them.
[4] He also built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “In Jerusalem I will put My name.”
[5] And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.
 [6] Also he made his son pass through the fire, practiced soothsaying, used witchcraft, and consulted spiritists and mediums. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger.
