Are you the tower of babble, or worthless talk? Be strong in the word! 2 Timothy 2:16

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

WOW! Have you ever opened the Bible to the Word you have seen before and suddenly it leaps out at you with GREAT MEANING? I did today, which I will share later.

Yesterday we talked about spoudazo` meaning give diligence and orthotomeo` meaning to cut a straight course or correctly interpret. Today, what about our talk?

2 Timothy 2:16 "Avoid worthless, foolish talk that only leads to more godless behavior."
and the Gideons Bible "But shun profane and idle babble, for they will increase to more ungodliness."

What is being said here, that we cannot just visit about the weather, the day, sports, news, entertainment? Not at all, here we are talking about, if you will gossip and bickering. We become "stuck" in our views and it is that way or the highway. How did the preacher move the piano? One inch at a time. BUT, was this an important event in the church? What did it do for the Kingdom of God?

In important areas of Christian teaching, we must carefully work through our disagreements. But when we bicker long hours over words and ideas that are not important to the Christian faith and life, we only provoke anger and hurt feelings.

Even if foolish talk reaches a resolution, it gains little ground for the Kingdom of God. Learning and discussing is not bad, unless, it keeps us from focusing on God and following false doctrine or unfaithful trivialities. Don't let anything keep you from your work for God, nor deter your service to God.

Moses went up on the mountain, Aaron fell to the pleasures of the people and build a golden calf. It all started with foolish talk and mushroomed into false doctrine and action. Aaron was weak, you and I must be strong! Let not idle chatter take you away from the one true and living God. "SIR, WE WOULD SEE JESUS!"

Please take time to go to the KJV and read Romans 10:8-13. This suddenly came to light for me, I know this, have accepted Jesus as my saviour, but these words hit me hard. It was at this time when I realized I am not doing all I can for the Kingdom of God. Copy and paste: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=ROMANS%2010:8-13&version=KJV
Love you all. Babble not, want not, search fully the word of God.
In Christ's Love and Grace
