What Exactly Does This Mean ?
2 Timothy 4:7-8I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: It basically means Paul did not give up or go down any rabbit holes during the tenure of his ministry. When a person believes and propagates unsound doctrine and refuses to correct the fact that they proof-text scripture (isolate single verses and build an entire foreign theology around them), are in…

Not Men-Pleasers
1 Timothy 4:13, 16 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

Crossroads
When reaching the crossroads of having to choose between God’s truth and inevitably one’s Faith (dispensationally considered, of course) or men’s reputations and feelings, which road will you choose?
I have had to make that decision of late, and it has nothing to do with the dispensational teachers I recommend on this blog.
Upholding God’s biblical dispensational truth is more important than…

Psalms of Solomon - IV
Wherefore sittest thou, O profane man, in the council of the pious, Seeing that thy heart is far removed from the Lord, Provoking with transgressions the God of Israel? Extravagant in speech, extravagant in outward seeming beyond all men, Is he that is severe of speech in condemning sinners in judgement. And his hand is first upon him as though he acted in zeal, And yet he is himself guilty in respect of manifold sins and of wantonness. His eyes are upon every woman without distinction; His tongue lieth when he maketh contract with an oath. By night and in secret he sinneth as though unseen, With his eyes he talketh to every woman of evil compacts. He is swift to enter every house with cheerfuless as though guileless.
Let God remove those that live in hypocrisy in the company of the pious, Even the life of such an one with corruption of his flesh and penury. Let God reveal the deeds of the men-pleasers, The deeds of such an one with laughter and derision; That the pious may count righteous the judgement of their God, When sinners are removed from before the righteous, Even the man-pleaser who uttereth law guilefully. And their eyes are fixed upon any man's house that is still secure, That they may, like the Serpent, destroy the wisdom of . . . with words of transgressors, His words are deceitful that he may accomplish his wicked desire. He never ceaseth from scattering families as though they were orphans, Yea, he layeth waste a house on account of his lawless desire. He deceiveth with words, saying, There is none that seeth, or judgeth. He fills one house with lawlessnss, And then his eyes are fixed upon the next house, To destroy it with words that give wing to desire. Yet with all these his soul like Sheol, is not sated.
Let his portion, O Lord, be dishonoured before thee; Let him go forth groaning, and come home cursed. Let his life be spent in anguish, and penury, and want, O Lord; Let his sleep be beset with pains and his awaking with perplexities. Let sleep be withdrawn from his eyelids at night; Let him fail dishonourably in every work of his hands. Let him come home empty-handed to his house, And his house be void of everything wherewith he could sate his appetite. Let his old age be spent in childless loneliness until his removal by death.
Let the flesh of the men-pleasers be rent by wild beasts, And let the bones of the lawless lie dishonoured in the sight of the sun. Let ravens peck out the eyes of the hypocrites. For they have laid waste many houses of men, in dishonour, And scattered them in their lust; And they have not remembered God, Nor feared God in all these things; But they have provoked God's anger and vexed Him. May He remove them from off the earth, Because with deceit they beguiled the souls of the flawless.
Blessed are they that fear the Lord in their flawlessness; The Lord shall deliver them from guileful men and sinners, And deliver us from every stumbling-block of the lawless (men). Let God destroy them that insolently work all unrighteousness, For a great and mighty judge is the Lord our God in righteousness.
Let Thy mercy, O Lord, be upon all them that love Thee.
Pleasing God
Are we fair? Acts 22 verses 21-29
Question? Are we fair? ———– Acts 22:21-29 21 Then He (Jesus) said to me, ‘Depart, for I will send you far from here to the Gentiles.’” 22 And they listened to him until this word, and then they raised their voices and said, “Away with such a fellow from the earth, for he is not fit to live!” 23 Then, as they cried out and tore off their clothes and threw dust into the air,

Those who covet the approval of men more than the approval of God will have neither at last. Yet those who seek God's approval in Christ will one day find themselves the admiration of all.
