The Devotional - A Look at the Book #855

Thoughts from Papa “J”

 

The sentry who stands guard at the gate is well armed. Yes he or she may have their weapon ready, but it is the confidence in controlling emotions that provide safety. It is the wide open mouth that causes the enemy to breach the gate. Proverbs 13:3

 

Good Morning

 

Every morning there is a mountain of resources at my fingertips, some of this information is from the World Wide Web and I do believe this resource is properly named; since for many it is a web of deliberate deception. But then again; many millions of people (billions, no doubt) use this information daily in a good way. They make a living, acquire new friends and find loved ones who have drifted away and so on.

 

The world is hungry for information. Some years ago I heard from a source that I do not remember, that the world’s wisdom before the invention of the technology of that day turned over every thirty years and that now (that would be then) and because of computers the information of the world turned over every year. So what does that mean, you might be thinking?

 

As the hunger for world-wide wisdom increases at such a rapid pace; the hunger for truth from for our Creator decreases. Is that important to you or do you see this as a bit of nonsense? Would you believe that God is aware of these days and reveals His concern in the Holy Bible? Truth is that God understands our “day” better than we understand it ourselves. Isaiah 46:10 and 2 Timothy 3:1-9

 

So again; what is the point? Follow me to 1 Corinthians 2:6-18. The Holy Bible which spans six thousand years of human history and overrides all “so called” sacred writings of men who appear as sheep; but who are ravenous wolves; speaks clearly. 1 Corinthians 2:6-8. God has never, nor will He ever revise His Word.

 

The Mystery or Reserved wisdom of God was predetermined before the ages of time. Thus it is preserved and revealed to those men and women who have FAITH in God. This faith then does not have to re-invent the Word of God every thirty years, or every year, it is complete.

 

There is no safety in many religions or revisions. Some of our gospel preaching and teaching ministries have reformed or reinterpreted the Holy Bible to provide “feel better messages” that soothe the hearers; these are doctrines that have no blessing from the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:9-11 as these messages or doctrines are seeds of truth mixed with the wisdom of the world’s spirit.

 

There is One God, One Faith and One Baptism, now some might say well my religion baptized me so I am in; or you? Which baptism is the apostle Paul talking about in Ephesians 4:5? The answer is: Matthew 3:11 and John 1:29-34.

 

So again if all you have is a baptism of religion; then you do not know the One God and have the One Faith, nor do you have the One Baptism of Jesus and you friend or lost to the wisdom God and only have the wisdom of the world to direct your erring way of life. 1 Corinthians 2:12-14.

 

Finally; here is the rub! Try as you may, you cannot find a suitable way to judge or fault with 1 Corinthians 2:6-14 or with those who Spiritually preach and teach the wisdom of God. Why is that? Because it will never need revising; Matthew 5:17-20 as these words of Christ is the mind of Christ and those who have faith in Him or of the same mind. 1 Corinthians 2:15-16
