What saith the Scripture

Proverbs 3:5-6  Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV) “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.   In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Am so glad, happy and joyful in the patience of God.   Throughout my day when tribulation, stinken think’n, I forget who I am in Christ.   But He is faithful and gracious to my perils.   “For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we  are  dust.”   Psalms 103:14.   “Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.”   Psalms 51:5. “O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?     I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.”           Romans 7:24-25

2 Timothy 2:15  Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV):   Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.” Romans 14:4;

Galatians 6:10 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV):     “ As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all  men , especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” For those who are in the body of Christ [1Cor 12:13] have a mandate, a responsibility to fulfill.   We are not directed to preach to tens or hundreds of people.   Not to by the power of the Lord Jesus Christ to heal the sick, hearing of the deaf or sight to the blind.   We are not to a power house of religious doctrine and turn the hearts of the lost to Christ.   But we are to as we have opportunity do good unto all men.   We are to do good to those who are of the household of faith. How does one discern what God would have one to do?   To start with how about what Paul directs here:   “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech  you  by us: we pray  you  in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.”   2nd Corinthians 5:20.   Who appoints an ambassador?   Who sends a
