Fools Gold

If you're not seeking should you expect to find and if you're not finding who do you blame. sw

When it is Your Father who owns the whole thing, is there truly any room for jealousy among the sons of God. sw

Are you justified only because you find or because you saw fitting to seek out the good found only in the righteousness of God and the One He sent. sw

To the keeper of the house, keeping the door closed and locked for the sake of the flies should not also prevent entry of its owner. sw

When you do find what it is you think you want, how do you then measure its authenticity for all that it is. sw

Some call it life and others a series of mistakes made they've yet to figure out. sw

What good is a mystery if it's never solved and continues to invite doubt and unbelief. sw

What value is found in the weight standard when enough is never enough. sw

It's one thing to weigh a man, yet it's an entirely different measurement when weighing the goodness of God and His limitless ways He expresses the true depth of His names sake. sw

The best argument as to why not judge others begins with the truthful discovery made when one weighs themselves by the same standard. sw

Which is weightier, guilt that prevents a person from defending what's right, or devaluing the Mercy of God that feeds on the power and performance of His Grace. sw 

Overcoming the desires that belong to this world require an uncommon strength. sw

Those who suggest overcoming the desires of this world can't be done are denying the power of Gods grace. sw

How convincing of an argument that enables one to ignore what God is saying when it's being taught and understood God was only addressing those who are now dead and gone. sw

Phil 3:17-21
Join with others in following my example , brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you.

For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.

Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things.

But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. NIV

2 Cor 12:9-10
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. NIV

There are some who understand the glory of their weakness and others who understand even more what the Glory of God looks like in the earth. sw

If the judgment that is also feared begins in the house of God, why does the world look so much like the house so many are desperately trying describe as the house they now live in. sw

Sweeping things under the rug only produces the lumps others will eventually trip over and uncover. sw

Deut 25:13-16
Do not have two differing weights in your bag — one heavy, one light. Do not have two differing measures in your house — one large, one small. You must have accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you. For the LORD your God detests anyone who does these things, anyone who deals dishonestly. NIV

Scholars love knowledge because of the potential of its influence, whereas the children of God love the reason why their Father is seen as wise and Loving as He is. sw

2 Peter 1:3-4
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

  1. Hi SW,
    I love this saying of yours:-

    'To the keeper of the house, keeping the door closed and locked for the sake of the flies should not also prevent entry of its owner. sw'

    and this one from the Bible is proving true in my life:-

    2 Cor 12:9-10
    But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. NIV
