Today’s Thought “My Opinion Matters” G. Ward

But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Matthew 4:4

 

Jesus, after His wilderness experience demonstrated tremendous spiritual endurance at a time in physical exhaustion and vulnerability to share how we also can embody resistance when dependant on Holy God (cf.! Pe.1:16). Perspectives divide, creating ideologues. Moreover, it’s with the demand of a bully who insists on a crowd while he bashes the victim (*cf. Ac.2:44). There’s no resolution to myriads of perspectives any different than the predominance of America agreeing on lunch this afternoon.

The wholeness in the gospel message does not celebrate man’s ideology; but insists that mankind begin working on Holy God control (honoring HIS omniscience over our limited scope – cf. Jas.2:14-20). When quarrels persist, faith is absent (Jas.4:1-5).

Happy Tuesday!
