It's all about you - Jesus! 1 Timothy 1:5,6

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

Why do we agrue about minute (my - nute) details?

1 Timothy 1:5,6  "The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that come from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith.  But some people have missed this whole point. they have turned away from these things and spend their time in meaningless discussions."
Arguing about details of the Bible can send us off on interesting but irrelevant tangents and cause us to miss the intent of God's message.  The false teachers at Ephesus constructed vast speculative systems and then argued about the minor details of their imaginary ideas.  Think about the different denominations about their man made beliefs.  For example: we can dance, we can't dance; Baptism - can sprinkle or only by immersion; have a glass of wine - no alcohol at all; speaking in tongues - forbidden to speak in tongues; and on and on.            We are picking apart small details, but the main idea should be 5 letters: J E S U S!!!!

We should allow nothing to distract us from the Good News of salvation in JESUS CHRIST, the main point of Scripture.  We should know what the Bible says, apply it to our lives daily, and teach it to others.  When we do this, we will be able to evaluate all teachings in light of the central truth about Jesus.
Are you stuck in the minor details or are you focused on the whole - JESUS?  Thoughts for the weekend! Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
