    The king talked with them; and among them all was found no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore stood they before the king. In every matter of wisdom and understanding concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchante...

    If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances, "Don't handle, nor taste, nor touch" (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men? These things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imp...

Repeaters

  • The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue. Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so. Acts 17:10'11 WEB.

    The first mechanical repeater was a telegraph machine, but the practice was used long before that. A repeater hears a signal and then repeats it verbatim. With the telegraph, someone tapped out a signal at one end, and the repeater at the other end of the line reproduced that exact tap.

    In wireless networks today, repeaters are used to expand the coverage area. Each repeater says the same thing as the last one. It doesn't question the signal sent to it but passes the message right down the line just as it was received. Repeaters can cover a large campus or hospital, all transmitting the same message without questioning it.

    For a season in my life, I was merely a repeater. I heard things at church or seminary that sounded good, then repeated them as the gospel truth. I would staunchly defend them. I am now embarrassed to say at least forty percent of it was rubbish, traditions of men, fairy tales. That's being polite, for it was probably a much higher percentage.

    There are so many pet doctrines floating around that have absolutely nothing to do with God and have no basis in Scripture. Jesus said in Mark 7:7, "In vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men." I was taught the commandments of men, and then I began teaching others the things that I had learned. Just as the ones Jesus was speaking to had.

    The Berean Christians in the Scripture above received the word Paul brought them eagerly. Then, they searched the Scriptures daily to see if it was true. So don't just be a repeater like I was. Look it up. The more that I studied the Bible, the more rubbish that was revealed in my life. So listen to or read the Bible for yourself. If you don't know what's in the Bible, you will almost certainly be deceived.

    Prayer: Heavenly Father, I pray that You give me a hunger for Your Word. Please stir up that desire in me and open my mind to understand the scriptures. Help me discern what is from You and what is not. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

    Note: For those following the Creation Photography weekly challenges, group leader, Dianna Wyles: Matthew 5:14-16 'You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." ~ 'Let Your Love Light Shine' will be our next fun-loving theme and as always is wide open for creative interpretation. How do you let your love light shine? We also encourage you to post anything else that inspires you as well. Can't wait to see what helps your love light shine! If you venture out on Tuesday, have fun, Be SAFE, stay blessed, and have a wonderful week! Here is the link: Creation Photographers

In Lord Yeshua's name I pray this ,Amen  Needing prayers for my mom. We had to put her in the hospital Saturday morning  for infection in her urethra and bladder. She has a slight build up in the urethra trying to form stones again. Thank God she is doing a little better but she'll probably be there for the rest of the week. Thanks in advance for your prayers.
