If you want God to accept you and all your mistakes, do the same for others.

Jesus was a servant of the Jews to fulfill the promises God made to their ancestors.

Another place it is written, "Insiders and outsiders, sing together to the same God!"

And still again, "Everyone sing praises to God. Everyone of the earth, lift him up."

God is the only source of hope and my prayer at the campfire each night is that you are filled with joy and peace by trusting in his power instead of your own. I pray that this filling will be like a trough overflowing through the Holy Ghost.

that I am a hand for God tasked with gathering y'all remnants. I bring you good news, not bad news.

This is an acceptable offering to God by the Holy Ghost.

But you ain't going to hear me bragging on anything but God and what he's done through me. I've rode with the outsiders and they now ride for God.

They witnessed great things done by God and they fully believe. I've presented the good news to all the pastures from Jerusalem to Illyricum.

I know God is going to bless our time together.

Cowboys, I'm sure enough counting on all of y'all to join with me in the struggle that comes with riding for Christ. Keep me in your prayers and I know God will answer them. Y'all care about me because the Holy Ghost is in your hearts.

Pray that God will protect me from those in Judea who don't want this message spread to the world. Also pray that the gifts I take to Jerusalem will be accepted with the same heart they were given.

Now let God, who doesn't hold back anything, give us peace. Amen.

Satan will be crushed by God soon. Let the grace of God guide you.

Finally, all glory to God, who builds us up strong, just like the good news says. This message about Jesus has shown you God's plan for all the outsiders. This plan has been kept secret since the beginning, but now it is revealed.

All the prophets hinted about it, but now the message has been made known to all outsiders. May they believe and follow Jesus completely as they ride for God.

Once again, all glory goes to God, through Christ Jesus, forever and ever. Amen.

Hey, fellas. This is Paul, chosen by God to ride for the brand of Jesus Christ. My amigo Sosthenes is with me, too.

I'm writing to God's outfit in Corinth. I'm writing to those God has chosen to be his cowboys. He has straightened your lives out through his son, Jesus, and given y'all the job of gathering and tending the herd. But this is not just your job, but the job of every cowboy who has called on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Here's to God giving you everything he has, that you don't deserve.
