“My people perish for lack of knowledge.” - Hosea 4:6
“And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the Lord for it; for in its peace you will have peace.”
- Jeremiah 29:7
“Therefore, I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.”
- 1 Timothy 2:1-2
“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It
is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are
the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a
lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in
the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and
glorify your Father in heaven.” - Matt 5:13-16
