Folks, for me personally, when it comes to friend requests, the bottom line is this. The more you BOLDLY and CONSISTENTLY share God’s Word on your page, the more inclined I will be to accept your friend request.
On the other hand, if all you post is worldly nonsense, or if you rarely post and only update your profile pic and cover image, or if there are only tagged posts from your friends on your page, your chances of having your friend request accepted by me are about zero.
I just thought you should know before you decide to send me a friend request. Let’s get serious about Jesus! Thanks for understanding.

“And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.” Mark 12:34, KJV

“But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. And the gospel must first be published among all nations. But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.” Mark 13:9-11, KJV
“But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake. And it shall turn to you for a testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which ALL YOUR ADVERSARIES SHALL NOT BE ABLE TO GAINSAY NOR RESIST.” Luke 21:12-15, KJV
“Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.” Titus 1:9-11, KJV
“Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you . . . Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.” Hebrews 13:17, 24, KJV
“Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.” 1 Timothy 5:17, KJV

You grab your pipe, stick in a stash,
Was that marijuana, or was it hash?
You’re poppin’ pills and sniffin’ glue,
What in the world is wrong with you?
You grab a vein and squeeze it tight,
Then you’re flying as high as a kite.
Now listen fool, get it in your head,
If you live that way, you end up dead.
God gave you a body, a life to live,
Keep abusing it & He may not forgive.
Time for you to start livin’ straight,
Show your body respect, not that hate.
Why do you constantly fight and bite,
Trying to prove you are always right?
You act like such a proud know-it-all,
And you gloat as your opponents fall.
Is winning a debate your only true goal,
While you wound a brother in his soul?
Your words are simply cruel and mean,
Clearly the worst that I have ever seen.
You are very lacking in God’s real love,
No, not a reflection of our Father above.
Is it any wonder folks run the other way,
And do not care what you have to say?
It’s time to get smart & be more humble,
Else God may give you one huge tumble,
So please repent now and make amends,
And pray this will be how your story ends.
For a haughty spirit comes before a fall,
Trust me, friend, you will not like it at all.
God’s punishments can indeed be tough,
But He’ll slam you till you’ve had enough.
“And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.” Acts 13:39, KJV
“Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.” Romans 3:19-27, KJV
“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) . . . That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 5:17, 21, KJV
“Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.” Romans 7:4, KJV
“And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.” Romans 8:10, KJV
“For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” Romans 10:4, KJV
“And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.” Romans 11:6, KJV
“Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified . . . I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.” Galatians 2:16, 21, KJV
“But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.” Galatians 3:11, KJV
“Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.” Galatians 5:4, KJV
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9, KJV
“And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:” Philippians 3:9, KJV
“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;” Titus 3:5, KJV
“For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” James 2:10, KJV
