Who's in Charge?

 1st Timothy 1:12 [Authorized King James Version]:  “But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.”

Who was the first woman  US Mayor, Susanna M. Salter; Argonia, Kanas,  1887

                                           US Congress & first federal office holder:

                                           Jeannette Rankin, Montana, 1916

                                           US Senate, Rebecca Felton, Georgia, 1922

                                           Vice President of the United States

                                           Kamala Harris, California, 2021.

Heard a slogan a while back:  Insanity is doing the same [wrong] thing over and over and expecting different results.

So when did humanity begin to fall?  When Adam ate.  Politics aside will one believe God or reject His Words.  I follow with this:  “For Adam was first formed, then Eve.  And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, was in the transgression.”  1 Timothy 2:13-14 [AKJV].

So what is the point?  “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”  Roams 3:23.  Does one believe that?  So what should one’s response be.  “For I have determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified”  1 Corinthians 2:2.  

“Moreover brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and where in ye stand; By the which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he arose again the third day according to the scripture.”  1 Corinthians 15:1-4 [AKJV].

So now the most important question, “do you believe?

Rightly divided or handling ???

  2 Timothy 2:14-16     Authorized (King James) Version:   “ Of these things put  them  in remembrance, charging  them  before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit,  but  to the subverting of the hearers. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane  and  vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.” There is in the military a directive that when one receives conflicting orders one will follow the last order given.   Really that makes a lot of sense to one who has sense, but therein lies the rub. Background:   the phrase above in verse “15” reads “rightly dividing the word of truth”.   Modern versions will read “rightly handling” instead of “dividing”.   Those two words have different meanings as seen in Hebrews 4:12 “even to dividing asunder”.   If a person d...

God's good pleasure in you

Philippians 2:13 (KJV)   “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of  his  good pleasure.” It is our responsibility to allow God to be God in our lives; we needn’t worry of our situations, we need to learn:   “For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.”   2 Timothy 1:12.   What things do we suffer?   Does it matter, really in the light of eternity what is our present suffering, large or small:   “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time  are  not worthy  to be compared  with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”   Romans 8:18.   Do we not have a promise from God concerning trails:   “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God  is  faithful, w...

It's a big responsibility

  1 Thessalonians 1:4 [Authorized King James Version]   “But as we were allowed by God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.”   All passages are taken from the Authorized King James Version unless otherwise noted. “But as we were allowed by God”   Who were/are the “we”?   “Allowed by God” to do what and how?   “God is all wise, in grace wisdom, love and faithfulness can either hide from {Luke 18:34] or be seen of those who by faith believing {Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11 and Hebrews 10:38}.   “But without faith it is impossible to please him : for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6.   So how does that saving faith come?   “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”   Romans   10:17.   “to be put in trust with the gospel” ...
