Today’s Thought “Where Your Treasure Is…” G. Ward

“Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth.” 2 Timothy 2:23-25

Hi, my name is Gregory and I’m a news junkie. Seemingly harmless an adoption, but so unproductive a practice. There’s very little to no resolve in varied broadcasts and I epitomize the definition of insanity as a perpetual viewer. I’d love to rationalize this addiction by suggesting it helps me (as a pastor) to better assess the condition of man as perplexed and bothered, but that more reveals lack of faith (cf. Heb.4:12).  Holy God, the Author in resolve, reveals Himself as the Master Anthropologist in His word; remember, He created them. He shares how important it is to not identify with societal complexity through observance of lasting principle only found in His word (Mt. 24:35).

Innocent practice with appearances of what might be tagged as amoral might soon unfold into violation of Holy God’s moral code (Ro.6:14, 1 Cor.6:12). I’m just talking about the news, what’s your issue (Mt.6:21)?

Happy Wednesday!
