Exactly how many things in the day to day life of those around You may not have kept pace with the type and/or amount of rapid changes in Your present circumstances? The type of changes to include both Good and Bad? These type of changes where God as "Creator" of ALL things has NOT been allowed to somehow "Weigh In" on the "Talking Point(s) which might otherwise explain these same considerations?
Truly what has a man considered should he somehow Weigh going to CHURCH as if somehow different than the TRUE knowledge that does pertain to the Much deeper realities that have expressed "Christ In You"?
The value of Christ In You or I as if something only Christ can and does ultimately determine? And if Christ is the Only One who determines those who TRULY have Believed (in) Him with ALL of the Heart, Soul, Mind and Strength, how then is it possible ANY person could also take upon their own person the RESPONSIBILITY for all that God intended to speak for the sake of this same 'Certainty"?
The type of testimony that also agrees with these type of words already spoken with TRUE AUTHORITY?
What if preaching was only the preparation so that one can hear directly from the Lord? Preaching that leads a person INTO the STASIS or equilibrium of a BELIEVER? Where to Go? How to hear? How to prepare to "Hear"? How to respond when spoken to? All the above as if brought under One objective...Namely Discernment" of the Spirit and this same REALM?
The type of "Renewal" of the Mind, yet for what GOOD purpose? Especially if it has been well received and UNDERSTOOD that ONLY God is GOOD? Who then COULD speak as if FOR God in this world?
Exactly WHO in THIS world gets to decide what is OLD NEWS and what remains relevant in terms of GOOD NEWS..that is also still relevant TODAY? As though BOTH have also come from the MOUTH of God?
Heb 8:10-13
This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
No longer will a man teach his neighbor,
or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.
For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."
By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear. NIV
The same type and use of the word SOON as is used when heard Jesus is coming SOON! Who can also inquire as to exactly how aged is the FULL expectation of the existence of man in the mind of God? As such without somehow trying to exclude the Oneness of all those who will also be found to be...ONE in Christ?
What exactly does ONE person sound like when speaking at any venue? The same type of ONENESS that says, "I Am" no matter where or who it speaks to?
Ps 119:66-72
Teach me knowledge and good judgment, for I believe in your commands.
Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word.
You are good, and what you do is good, teach me your decrees.
Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies, I keep your precepts with all my heart.
Their hearts are callous and unfeeling, but I delight in your law.
It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees.
The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.
NIV
Eccl 5:1-3
Guard your steps when you go to the house of God . Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong.
2 Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God.
God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.
As a dream comes when there are many cares,
so the speech of a fool when there are many words.
NIV
Who also gets to determine Long Term which type of changes will ultimately Produce or bring about God intended type of results? The same type some souls who also might suggest are "Unheard Of"? The type results where the Fat Lady truly does sing with Joy because she does Know beyond doubt WHY those CERTAIN things are what they ARE in this Life instead of what they SEEM?
Have you ever considered what the differences are between "Misrepresentation" and the "Suppression of the Truth" look and act like?
Have you ever considered why its almost expected whenever the one who is suffering the most is usually the least expected to also be the "Least" sympathetic towards others? This question being asked as if any two otherwise separate scenarios have No Clue as to what might be going on in the Lives of those around us?
(Stage Right In walks a man Named Jesus)
As if somehow laying it all 'Out There" in terms of a list of aches and pains will also somehow Course correct the ones who are otherwise enjoying every aspect of their daily Lives? Primarily because they've allowed themselves to be convinced they Do know beyond doubt WHY they're more "Entitled" to do so?
As if to suggest why some see their own "Bad News' or report as if a weapon that was also "Intended" to be used to drum or beat down the said "More Fortunate" ones around us over the head in order to somehow "Level" the playing Field?
Why do people always seem to enjoy referring to the Cause and Affect analogy, yet when things NEED to remain a mystery for the sake of convenience, No one seems to have a clue that CAN and DOES speak "Unanimously to ALL the mysterious reason that have been Involved' as to why CERTAIN things only seem to happen to a Certain Type of people?
Luke 6:41-44
"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
"No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. NIV
Those supposedly mindless consideration we wake and "See" everyday when a New Day dawns? Those same things most "Normal" people rely on in "Order" to somehow gauge or index any day that at least starts off as though "Normal"? As always when arguments do rear their Ugly heads, whose to 'Say" who's normal and why NOT? Especially without having asked about the surrounding "Culture" and it's "Condition"?
Those type of "Normal" sensory aided and perceived observations one might encounter as they somehow "Know" whenever they're getting close to a coastal "Region"? Those notable things such as when the air thickens, the humidity rises and the smell of the air begins to change and smell more "Salty"?
I'm probably not as well read as I need to be, but the few books I have read usually starts off where the author tries to "Frame" or depict their surroundings in order to hopefully introduce the reader to the Same scenario or "Environment".
Have you ever wondered why Every "Author" has to TRY to be different? Why every well respected author can't simply say, "It was a Normal Day" while also TRUSTING the exact reason WHY EVERY single reader does latch on?
Now, try and consider any Given Day as each day progresses or unfolds in an attempt to reveal the complexities of that Days content?
As each of those much smaller details are "Revealed", at what point exactly do these categorically aligned "Add On" features begin to take the reader "Outside" of the said "Norm"? Outside the said Norm yet as such for what specific "Type" of "Reason(s)"?
1 John 4:21
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
NIV
So what's the cure? Go around CALLING everyone Brother? Or knowing who your Brothers are because of the type of low hanging Fruit your brother has left hanging that has also been left hanging within REACH?
Exactly what Type of details can and do venture over into those realms where everything that does "Define" the said "Genre'" of any story being told begins to also take on a differing shape and form by "Way" of the choice words "Used"?
Philem 6
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
KJV
It's easy to suggest the "Use" of words, yet to what "End"? At what "Point" does the "Potential" of ANY words "Used" Become..... Effectual? For example purpose only, what is being suggested when words such as "Not becoming of a Father" are heard? Does this somehow leave on the table an "Invitation" to interpret Differently what the author has suggested?
The type of Choice words Used which do get EVERYONE who's reading or Listening on the proverbial "Same Page"?
At what point does ANY reader or hearer determine when ANY word has been "Taken" or used "Outside their intended "Norm"? Some might even suggest Out of Context"? The same type of place or realm where "Certain" words get stretched or "Misused" or overly "Emphasized" in order to somehow make a specific or different "Point"?
Is it truly more than a crime when the words of another have been "Plagiarized" verses "Monetized"? As if something were to be "Gained" in doing so?
If a society were being 'Weighed" and possibly found 'Wanting" at what point would there need to be some type of Norm against which ALL things get weighed?
Moving along, lets suppose the expressions used within any type of culture or society were viewed as if a staff or stick? The type of staff that has been well sharpened at both ends? One end of this staff represents what people "Say" and the other what people "Do"?
Let's assume both ends of this staff or stick have been equally sharpened over the course of time. Some might even refer to this type metaphor as a well balanced person.
At what point would YOU suggest as if to Your own person who's also worthy of any type of reward when and if considering the preservation and meaning of words that are CERTAIN over the Course of Time?
So, the next time you hear, "This one's In the Bag" with regards to the many DIFFERENT outcomes in this Life and world, also think who first spoke such words and possibly just how arrogant these type of words might sound? And when you DO find it as though a NEED to add to this type of narrative, does it also Depend on the Type of Person" your asking? Think deeply within Your Self, "This could very well be the POINT that's being MADE or NOT!
Prov 16:11
Honest scales and balances are from the LORD; all the weights in the bag are of his making.
NIV
2 Cor 5:16
So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view . Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.
NIV
ˈplājəˌrizəm/
noun
- the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.
