SEEK THAT YE MAY EXCEL

1 CORINTHIANS 14:6-12

NOW,
BRETHREN,
IF
I COME UNTO YOU SPEAKING
WITH
TONGUES
WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT YOU. 
EXCEPT 
I SHALL SPEAK 
TO YOU EITHER 
BY REVELATION, 
OR 
BY KNOWLEDGE, 
OR
BY PROPHESYING, 
OR 
BY DOCTRINE?
AND 
EVEN 
THINGS 
WITHOUT 
LIFE GIVING SOUND,
WHETHER PIPE OR HARP, 
EXCEPT THEY GIVE 
A DISTINCTION IN SOUNDS,
HOW SHALL IT BE KNOWN
WHAT IS 
PIPED OR HARPED? 
FOR
 IF THE TRUMPET 
GIVE AN UNCERTAIN SOUND, 
WHO SHALL PREPARE HIMSELF 
TO 
THE BATTLE?
SO LIKEWISE YE, 
EXCEPT YE UTTER 
BY 
THE TONGUE 
WORDS EASY 
TO BE 
UNDERSTOOD. 
HOW SHALL IT BE KNOWN 
WHAT 
IS 
SPOKEN?
FOR 
YE SHALL SPEAK 
INTO 
THE AIR. 
THERE ARE , 
IT MAY BE,
SO MANY 
KINDS OF VOICES 
IN 
THE WORLD,
AND 
NONE OF THEM 
IS 
WITHOUT 
SIGNIFICATION.
THEREFORE 
IF I KNOW NOT 
THE MEANING OF THE VOICE, 
I SHALL BE
UNTO HIM 
THAT SPEAKETH 
A BARBARIAN,
AND 
HE THAT SPEAKETH 
SHALL
 BE 
A BARBARIAN UNTO ME.
EVEN SO YE, 
FORASMUCH
AS YE ARE 
ZEALOUS OF SPIRITUAL 
GIFTS,
SEEK THAT YE MAY EXCEL
TO THE EDIFYING 
OF 
THE CHURCH.

LOVE

DEUTERONOMY 6:20-25   AND WHEN THY SON ASKETH THEE IN TIME TO COME, SAYING, WHAT MEAN THE TESTIMONIES, AND THE STATUTES, AND THE JUDGMENTS, WHICH THE LORD OUR GOD HATH COMMANDED YOU? THEN THOU SHALT SAY UNTO THY SON, WE WERE PHARAOH'S BONDMEN IN EGYPT; AND THE LORD BROUGHT US OUT OF EGYPT WITH A MIGHTY HAND: AND THE LORD SHEWED SIGNS AND WONDERS, GREAT AND SORE, UPON EGYPT, UPON PHARAOH, AND UPON ALL HIS HOUSEHOLD, BEFORE OUR EYES: AND HE BROUGHT US OUT FROM THENCE, THAT HE MIGHT BRING US IN, TO GIVE US THE LAND WHICH HE SWARE UNTO OUR FATHERS. AND THE LORD COMMANDED US TO DO ALL THESE STATUTES, TO FEAR THE LORD OUR GOD, FOR OUR GOOD ALWAYS, THAT HE MIGHT PRESERVE US ALIVE, AS IT IS AT THIS DAY. AND IT SHALL BE OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, IF WE OBSERVE TO DO ALL THESE COMMANDMENTS BEFORE THE LORD OUR GOD, AS HE HATH COMMANDED US. LOVE

Hebrews 11:17-40 BY FAITH  ABRAHAM, WHEN HE WAS TRIED, OFFERED UP ISAAC:  AND HE THAT HAD RECEIVED THE PROMISES  OFFERED UP HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON,  OF WHOM IT WAS SAID,  THAT IN ISAAC SHALL THY SEED BE CALLED:   ACCOUNTING THAT GOD WAS ABLE  TO RAISE HIM UP,  EVEN FROM THE DEAD;  FROM WHENCE  ALSO HE RECEIVED HIM  IN A FIGURE.   BY FAITH ISAAC blessed Jacob and Esau  CONCERNING THINGS TO COME BY FAITH JACOB, WHEN HE WAS DYING blessed both the sons of Joseph; and  WORSHIPPED, LEANING UPON THE TOP OF HIS STAFF.
