How to Give True Honor to God

¹ Never give up praying for everyone, not just those you like. Only God can work a man over from the inside out. Be thankful that he never rests. ² Pray like this for all the cow bosses, jigger bosses, and ranch managers of this world. We all long for a peaceful and quiet life. Godliness and dignity in today's world is rarer than gold. ³ These two things are what make the Boss smile. ⁴ God wants to save people with the truth. He's offering everything for faith. ⁵ The way to get it is through Jesus. He's the gate between destruction and life. ⁶ His death on the cross threw the gates of heaven wide open to anyone who believes. This is the message of God. It came at the right place and the right time. ⁷ I've been given the duty of sharing this message with the world. I was sent to the outsiders, not those of Jewish birth. I'm offering truth, faith, and eternity to anyone with the guts to ride. This ain't a tall tale. It's the truth—easy as that.

⁸ Where once men raised their fists in anger, I now ask them to reach out to God and be saved.

⁹ I don't want women to put a priority on fancy clothes, highlighted hair, and rhinestone belts. ¹⁰ They should clothe themselves in devotion to God by riding for his brand every day. This is where true beauty comes from.

¹¹ A real lady doesn't go around bossing people around. Instead of trying to prove herself to men, she should prove her devotion to God. ¹² Just because a lady has taken a few lessons doesn't mean she's ready to teach. This ain't no different for anyone. Her job is to learn quietly and practice what she learns. ¹³ There is a way of doing things. God made Adam first and then Eve. ¹⁴ Eve was deceived by Satan, but even though Adam knew better, she convinced him to follow. The result is the sorry world we live in. ¹⁵ But through her womb and all of her daughters, Jesus eventually came and so did the cure for what ails us. Every woman will share in the pain of childbearing, but through faith, love, and decency, she will also share in eternity with everyone else.
