By faith in Christ, we have overcome the ungodly world system that is saturated in sin and seeks to entrap us all in its many and varied temptations and enticements. And God has given us all we need to not only overcome the world ~ but also to overcome the flesh and the devil. Let us live and work to His praise and glory ~ for He alone deserves all honour and glory, for He alone is worthy.

There is an order in which Paul writes about this. Firstly: "All bitterness, wrath, anger, clamour, and slander must be removed from you, along with all malice." It is only after these negative emotions have been dealt with, at the foot of the Cross, that we can continue with Paul's next exhortation: "Be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ has also forgiven you."
Let us be those who are quick to forgive, quick to ask for forgiveness, and in so doing glorify our dear Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Let us not blindly cling to our own self~initiated righteousness in the expectation that God will accept us for our good works. God no longer deals with His people on behalf of the unachievable righteous requirements of the Mosaic Law, but through the Cross of Christ Who became sin for us so that we might become the righteousness of God ~ in Him.

The Word of truth is equally for Jew and Gentile, male and female, young and old, rich and poor, and reaches out into every nation and race, every people and language, and every continent and clime, for God is no respecter of persons and whosoever will may come to the Cross of Calvary and be washed by the blood of the Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world.
The foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength. And to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks (to those who have trusted Christ Jesus as Saviour, by grace through faith), Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

"Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest."
No! The only place to run is into the arms of Jesus. The only escape is to be positioned in Christ, by faith, and empowered by His Holy Spirit. The only way to be at rest is to abide in Christ and to have Him abiding in us, every moment of the day ~ as we walk in spirit and truth, as we trust in the Lord with all our heart, as we keep self nailed to the cross, and as we die to self and live for Him.

Visiting Calvary Church in Albuquerque on our way home. Great praise music. Great Bible study in 2nd Chronicles by Skip Heitzig.

Not only is Timothy exhorted to be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus, but also to provide spiritual strength for those in His care ~ for in the following verse we read: "And the things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also."
May we be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and empowered to help and encourage others whom God has placed in our lives ~ and may we all grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus, for His greater glory and eternal praise.

Let us go to the Lord for our comfort and rest, and after being filled up with His love, may His love and comfort overflow from us to those around us. What a blessing from our Lord, our Comforter.
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God."

When men get upset at challenges to dubious teaching and accuse the challenger of attacking those bringing the dubious teaching, they prove that their Christianity revolves more around men than around the word of God, facts, and the historical-grammatical hermeneutic. Since when did personalities trump facts? It is high time for our loyalty to revolve around the word of God and the facts of history and grammar.

No matter what pit of suffering and shame we may be required to endure, and no matter how deeply we sink into the quicksand of destruction, we have His assurance that He will set our feet back on the Rock of our Salvation and establish our goings out and our comings in, from this time forth even for evermore.

Doctrinal errors, great or small, find traction because they persuade men to embrace a narrative and suspend (for that one issue) their usual critical thinking. There are zero exceptions to this principle. None of these issues are beyond the grasp of high school students were they given sufficient time and opportunity for investigation.
