Luke 6:31 And as ye would
that men should do to you, do ye also to
them likewise. 32 For if ye love them which

if ye do good to them which do good to
you, what thank have ye? for sinners also
do even the same.
Matthew 5:20 For
I say unto you, That except your

the scriptures, nor the power of God.

rivers of living water.
2 Timothy 3:14 But continue
thou in the things which thou hast learned
and hast been assured of, knowing of whom
thou hast learned them; 15 And that from
a child thou hast known the holy scriptures,
which are able to make thee wise unto salvation
through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
3. If a young man needed direction, what information

shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking

4. How does Holiness define the role of the

Our elder deferred his responses to scripture...

love your wives, and be not bitter against
them.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto
the Lord.
21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
Ephesians 6:4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to

5. What do you believe is the biggest problem
in the religious world today?
Our elder deferred his responses to scripture...
Proverbs 14:12 There is a
way which seemeth right unto a man, but the
end thereof are the ways of death.
Proverbs 21:2 Every way
of a man is right in his own eyes: but
the LORD pondereth the hearts. 3 To do
justice and judgment is more acceptable
to the LORD than sacrifice.
James 1:25 But whoso looketh
into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth
therein, he being not a forgetful hearer,
but a doer of the work, this man shall
be blessed in his deed. 26 If any man among
you seem to be religious, and bridleth
not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart,
this man's religion is vain. 27 Pure religion
and undefiled before God and the Father
is this, To visit the fatherless and widows
in their affliction, and to keep himself
unspotted from the world.
Jeremiah 6:16 Thus saith
the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see,
and ask for the old paths, where is the
good way, and walk therein, and ye shall
find rest for your souls. But they said,
We will not walk therein. 17 Also I set
watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the
sound of the trumpet. But they said, We
will not hearken.
