Let them all praise the name of the Lord. For his name is very great; his glory towers over the earth and heaven!
Psalm 148:13
"Suppose someone secretly entices you - even your brother, your son or daughter, your beloved wife, or your closest friend - and says, 'Let us go worship other gods' - gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known.
But do not give in or listen. Have no pity, and do not spare or protect them.
Deuteronomy 13:6,8
Anyone who does God's will is my brother and sister and mother."
Mark 3:35
Faithful God, we greet this new year with hopefulness. Keep us steadfast upon your will, regardless of what may come our way, for you are our guide and our certainty - our truth and our love. Amen.
