Nov.01.00: Light For The Day - "Word Of Truth" -- 2 Timothy 2:15,16 "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. 16 Avoid godless, foolish discussions that lead people into more and more ungodliness. ----------------- Because God will examine what kind of workers we have been for him, we should build our life on his Word and build his Word into our life. It alone tells us how to live for him and serve him. Believers who ignore the Bible will certainly be ashamed at the judgment. Consistent and diligent study of God’s Word is vital; otherwise we will be lulled into neglecting God and our true purpose for living. In important areas of Christian teaching, we must carefully work through our disagreements. But when we bicker long hours over words and theories that are not central to the Christian faith and life, we only provoke anger and hurt feelings. Even if foolish discussions reach a resolution, they gain little ground for the Kingdom. Learning and discussing are not bad unless they keep believers constantly focusing on false doctrine or unhelpful trivialities. Don’t let anything keep you from your work for and service to God." -- Life Application Bible --------------------- -- 2 Corinthians 3:6 "He is the one who has enabled us to represent his new covenant, not in a written code but in the Spirit; FOR THE WRITTEN CODE KILLS, BUT THE SPIRITS GIVES LIFE." |
