GOD KNOWS

           Just when you think you’ve gotten away with something, God reveals what you’ve done.

Psalm 69:5, O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.

            While we may trick Mom or Dad or your Husband or your Wife, God knows everything about you. He knows what you do when no one else is around. He knows what you look at on the internet. He knows who you’re talking to at work. He knows the motives behind why you do what you do. He knows every hidden secret you have; including the ones you don’t know yourself.

            Friend, just be honest with God! He already knows what you’re doing! Consider what the Bible says in Hebrews 4:12, For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

GROW UP!

            “If you have the Spirit without the Word, you blow up. If you have the Word without the Spirit, you dry up. If you have both the Word and the Spirit, you grow up.– Don Lyon

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: Ephesians 4:14-15

            Do you ever wonder why people do what they do? Don Lyon hit the nail on the head with his quote. Some are attempting to live without the Word in their life. Some are trying to use the Word without the Author in their life. Either one of those are a huge issue when it comes to growing in God’s grace. The problem, you aren’t growing! Something that’s dead can’t grow and something that isn’t getting watered will eventually die.

            Do you have Spirit? Do you have the Word? Good—Grow Up!

You Don’t Have to Believe in God to Live a Wise Life—Say What?

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. Psalm 111:10

            Sometimes, I read some very stupid sayings. Unfortunately, sometimes, it comes from my on hand. But why in the world would anyone go to a Bible study that totally contradicts what scripture plainly states? “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom…” If you don’t believe in God how will you ever be wise?

I will just keep on studying the Bible and stick to its Words! Who is with me?

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7

 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. Proverbs 9:10
