Who's voice does any man hear when that man is not able to trust in the ability or willingness of Gods inspired words. sw
Phil 2:19-22
I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you. I have no one else like him, who takes a genuine interest in your welfare.
For everyone looks out for his own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel
NIV
The double minded man that is unstable in all he does might suggest God was in control yesterday, but today when God seems silent what does that silence go on to frame. sw
Who is it that doesn't enjoy experiencing their own response(s) during the retelling of some great "Adventure"?
Especially those type of adventures most people can only dream about? Much could be said of "Hope", yet how much more of a hope that's also "Real"?
Whether or not these type of stories are of the printed variety or something more animated (compliments of Hollywood), how much do these "Mediums" go on to influence "Their" said listening audience and in a particular manner?
Many will criticize the influence (spiritual element) of such things like TV Programming, video or virtual reality games might have on "Other" peoples children, yet this same mindset will ignore the truth that's found ONLY in godly wisdom (provided by "The Christ") which speaks to exactly how humanity has been "Re-programmed" by the voice of another!
Why isn't it more obvious as to why the thoughts that do pertain to the true meaning of a "Child" don't seem to possess a most certain and divine affect on humanity as a whole?
The souls of men can suggest they understand certain things, yet how often does certainty seem to remain so "Elusive" in the life of many who do suffer as if one when the words of God are NOT heeded?
1 Cor 12:26
If one part suffers , every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
NIV
While trying to more accurately define all that real "Hope" is, are we talking about the world or a more certain people who hold out in the hope as beings who will also be revealed as the "Sons of God" who are also children of one and the same "Faith"?
"Indeed, all the prophets from Samuel on, as many as have spoken, have foretold these days.
And you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, 'Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.'
When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways." NIV
What is Faith and that being as such that is real? What is Love that is also real? What is Hope that will "Deliver" us as a most certain "Type" of people?
1 John 4:8-10
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. NIV
Isa 45:13-14
I will raise up Cyrus (him) in my righteousness: I will make all his ways straight. He will rebuild my city and set my exiles free, but not for a price or reward,
says the LORD Almighty."
Isa 45:14-17
This is what the LORD says:
"The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush, and those tall Sabeans —
they will come over to you and will be yours; they will trudge behind you,
coming over to you in chains.
They will bow down before you and plead with you, saying,
'Surely God is with you, and there is no other; there is no other god.'"
Truly you are a God who hides himself,
O God and Savior of Israel.
All the makers of idols will be put to shame and disgraced; they will go off into disgrace together.
But Israel will be saved by the LORD
NIV
John 1:14
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. NIV
Exactly, who are the Children of God and how does the grace of His righteousness bless His Children?
Eph 3:10-13
His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.
I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.

Acts 15:24-29
We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said.
So we all agreed to choose some men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul— men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to confirm by word of mouth what we are writing.
It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things.
