The Wisdom of The Word

And how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 
 2 Timothy 3:15
 
So Paul is writing to the young man Timothy, and he is talking with him about "the Holy Scriptures."  If you continue reading what he says on through verses 16 and 17, he says quite a lot. But it is about the single most important topic of the Holy Scriptures that he wants Timothy to reflect from the outset.  He wants him to think about something that he has learned from the Holy Scriptures that he has known "from infancy."  He wants him to remember the wisdom of God's word.  He wants him to really think about the salvation made possible through faith in Jesus who is the Christ.
 
I got to thinking about this today, and it occurs to me that we write all kinds of books, blogs, articles or pamphlets related to the word of God, and in so doing I wonder if we get so wrapped up in the minutia that we forget the grand message the Word has sought to share throughout universal history: The Word of God shares a lot of wisdom, knowledge and understanding, but there is one message that, if we miss it, we miss the main thing.  In so doing we don't keep the main thing the main thing.
 
What I am trying to say is this.  Of all we hear from the Word of God, we do not want to miss out on the reason of the Word... to make you and me wise in such a way to experience the very salvation of God that comes in one way.  It comes through faith in Jesus.
 
So, when you read the word, for what are you listening?  I hope it is to grasp the ancient Wisdom that makes you find salvation through faith in Jesus.

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
