Growth in God Podcast

Had a chance to encourage a young brother in the Lord recently through a letter.He's graduating high schooling and I wanted to share an invaluable lesson from God's Word. Proverbs 4:23 KJV23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.Psalm 119:11 KJV11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

TRUTH WHO OWNS IT?NOTESWhat does TRUTH look like in our society today?It’s become variables. It changes from person to person or depending on the situation. It’s no longer grounded in anything that stands.Statements rule the day that claim TRUTH is up to individuals. Ones like “speak your truth”, “tell your story” or the best one “do you”.But my question is… Do we as human beings have the right to do so? Maybe free will some how allows this?2 Peter 2:1-2 Paul to Timothy about false prophets1. But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed.John 14:6 6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.2 Timothy 4:3-43. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4. and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.Jeremiah 17:9-109. The heart is deceitful above all things,    and desperately sick;    who can understand it?10. “I the Lord search the heart    and test the mind,to give every man according to his ways,    according to the fruit of his deeds.”I believe only a truly righteous Being can declareTruth! This could only belong to GOD!In order for something to truly be truth it has to be immutable, unvarying and simply unchangeable. These are undeniably all characteristics of JESUS.We should be able to completely trust and depend on TRUTH! If you can’t, you walk unsure and in FEAR!If you can, you walk sure and in FAITH!Psalm 119:160The sum of Thy Word is Truth, and every one of Your righteous rules endures forever.

The world cannot hateyou; but me it hatethbecause I testify of it,that the works thereofare evil John 7:7Ye adulterers andadulteresses, know yenot that the friendship ofthe world is enmity withGod? whosoever thereforewill be a friend of theworld is the enemy ofGod.JAMES 4:4But put ye on the LordJesus Christ, and makenot provision for theflesh, to fulfill the luststhereof. Romans 13:14For all that is in the world,the lust of the flesh, and thelust of the eyes, and the prideof life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 1JOHN 2:16

Experience is the best teacher? was talking today with a good friend of mine Randall Lewis. We were talking about a bunch of different things but we landed on a topic that really struck a chord with me. He was talking about how a close family member would always say “Experience is the best teacher”. I've always agreed with that Sentiment myself. Because you feel or go through an experience weather good or bad, you typically gain a lasting lesson from that. But he said to his love one “that was not true” “but WISDOM was the best teacher”. He explained that wisdom gained could stop a mistake or misstep.
