Experience

Perhaps it was the KJV in which you memorized it.

Romans 8:28  (KJV) 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.  source

And if you are like many who have been in covenant with GOD for many years you know it to be true experientially.  And this coronavirus siege will not change your experience.

Let’s try on this version:

Romans 8:28  (AMP) 28 And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose.  source

That’s good too for pondering today.

 

 

2020, Questions, Romans

Therefore

Question. Have you read Romans 1:21-32 lately?

In verse 24, we dare not miss the word, Therefore.  I suppose, you like I, have heard it said when you see a therefore in Scripture, we must ask ourselves what it’s there for. So I do and I did.

Verses 21, 22 and 23 speak of idols; for humans to engage in idol worship something must first occur. Verse 21 tells us what that is.  THEY DID NOT HONOR HIM AS GOD OR GIVE THANKS. ON THE CONTRARY, THEY BECAME WORTHLESS IN THEIR THINKING.

When mankind begins and continues to think they know more than GOD, refuse to honor Him with their day to day living, they become idol worshippers. Is that not what it says?

And as man (and woman too, of course) becomes more and more involved in this worship of creatures rather than the Creator something else happens.

Verse 24.

Therefore.

God gave them over. We can push GOD away so many times that He turns us over to our own way.

Go ahead, read the Text. And when you do you will find GOD is not politically correct, He’s just correct; forever and always correct. Once man and woman have pushed Thus Saith the LORD from their minds, hearts, and will time after time, look what follows.  Every imaginable sin is committed and flaunted by these people. Sexual perversion is not the only sin listed but it is listed. Read. Read the Text for yourself. Click HERE.

Now. Therefore. What actions do we need to take today?

2020, It's a Bonus Post, Romans

How Busy?

May I propose a thought to you?

Romans 1:20.

It’s a familiar verse to us Bible Thumpers.

20 His invisible attributes—His eternal power and His divine nature—have been clearly seen ever since the creation of the world, being understood through the things that have been made. So people are without excuse—   source

Have we considered the reason for the all-out assault Creation has weathered for many decades can be found in this verse?

It says the attributes, eternal power, divine nature have been clearly seen and we can come to some understanding of HIM through His creation.

Attributes. What GOD is like. Well, from creation, even without my Bible,  I know He is way smart and way kind! How He constructed the planet, how it functions in harmony with the bazillion components of it; how mama birds feed baby birds; how dogs love humans; etc. etc. etc.

Eternal power. Just what I can see with my naked eye, let alone a microscope and a telescope, tell me nothing matches His power and it never runs out.

Divine Nature. Yep. Creation tells me I am not like Him. He is divine. I’m not.

So, if I want to know there is a GOD and that HE is good and that HE is kind and loves me, all I have to do is look around me; and even in the mirror.

Is it any wonder then that there would be those who would want to discredit, nullify or just flat-out keep us too busy to look?
