Men of Steel

1.                                              
   Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."
   Mark 12:30-31

2.                                                   
   For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.
   Acts 4:20

3.                                    
   Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
   Joshua 1:9

4.                                                             
   And it will be said: "Build up, build up, prepare the road! Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people."
   Isaiah 57:14

5.                                              
   But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses ... to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.
   1 Timothy 6:11-12, 14

Men of Velvet

1.                          
   This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
   1 John 3:16

2.                                              
   Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
   Philip. 2:3-4

3.                                                        
   When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise. The tongue of the righteous is choice silver, but the heart of the wicked is of little value.
   Proverbs 10:19-20

4.                                                             
   But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.
   1 Peter 3:15-16

5.                                    
   Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
   Philip. 4:5-7
