WHAT DO WE LOVE THE MOST?

 
1 John 2:15
 
"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him." ESV 
 
We are not told to dislike people in this world, we are told to keep from loving the ways and material things of this world. These things are what keeps us from eternal life with Christ.
 
Lord, please help us keep true discernment so that we do not get seduced by the ways and things of this world. Help us to stay a separate people for Your use and Your glory. In Your name we pray, Amen.

WE THINK WE'RE SO SMART!

 
1 Corinthians 1:21
 
"For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe." ESV 
 
Human wisdom has never and will never be capable of understanding God. Knowing and understanding God can only be known through His desire to make Himself known. By choosing to reconcile mankind to Himself by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, God has allowed us to know Him. We accept Jesus Christ and seek to be like Him, and we will know God.
 
Lord, sometimes we rely on our own wisdom to understand spiritual and temporal things. Please forgive us for that. Help us to seek the Lord Jesus Christ so that we will know You more fully while we are here on this earth. In His name, Amen.

WHEN THE WORLD'S WISDOM GOES BUST


  1 Corinthians 1:19 "For it is written, 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.'" ESV 
 
Earthly knowledge and wisdom have grown by leaps in bounds. We get so impressed by the things that are discovered and explained by today's men of respected expertise. As Christians, we understand that the knowledge and wisdom of this world cannot reconcile us to God nor lead us to God. The world's wisdom is temporary and it will disappear along with the rest of the world's wood, hay, and stubble when Christ comes for us.
 
Heavenly Father, we ask for Your true wisdom and knowledge so that the Life You give will fill our souls and bring us safely home to You. Give us awareness of those things that get us distracted and caught up in the wisdom of this world. We ask in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
