For Wednesday evening services, the Lord has lead me to do a Bible study for practical Bible verses in Luke. Please come back to these Bible lessons in order to review them and learn them. Whenever we have learned the meaning of Bible verses and think about them throughout each day, we will be in perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3). Not only that, but when we are in a situation in our daily lives and are tempted to sin, we can think back to what we have learned from the Bible and say to ourselves, "The Bible says to not do what I am tempted to say, think, do, and/or desire right now, so I am going to refuse to give in to this temptation." This is what Romans 12:2 means, and it says, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." This is also the pattern that Jesus used when the devil tempted Him to sin in Matthew 4:1-11.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO LUKE
My copy and paste feature doesn't keep the words that are supposed to be italicized, so instead of me doing it manually, refer to a Bible to see which words are italicized.
Luke 16:19-31
19There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. (The rich man's notorious sin was that he refused to give food to Lazarus, who was starving. Matthew 25:31-46 reveals the character traits and result of non-Christians who don't help those in need.

(The rich man knew that his brothers were also going to hell and that they needed to repent of their sins (tell God that they were wiling to stop sinning on purpose and ask Him to help them to be able to do that).) 31And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. (If they ignored Moses and the prophets, they wouldn't repent if someone rose from the dead and warned them. Jesus also spoke of this in John 5:39-47, when He claimed that if they didn't believe Moses' prophecies about Him, they wouldn't believe He was the Savior when they witnessed Him.)
