SOMETHINGS TO THINK ABOUT THE NEW YEAR
Biblical principles To Live By And Labor
“Walk in wisdom towards them that are without, redeeming the time….” Colossians 4:5
1Make the truth plain and simple, so that no one will ever misunderstand what you seek to say and write. Endeavor to make biblical truth easy to comprehend.
2.Make the truth relevant to daily living, not just present facts that do not have any practical meaning and usage to the ordinary believer. ” Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how you ought to answer every man.” Colossians 4:6
3.Stand for the truth without compromise, regardless of the cost; whether it be unnecessary criticisms from misinformed friends or unjust assaults from foes. Don’t avoid speaking the truth simply because it will be unpopular. “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.” 1st Corinthians 16L13
4.Never think that you are the only one, who firmly stands for the truth. Though few in number, and further apart, God has His faithful remnants in every walk of life, holding the fort where God has placed them in life. “For I say through the grace that is given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think….” Romans 12:3
5.Strengthen personal weakness, and avoid pitfalls that would cause you to fall by wayside. Correct errors, and mistakes when they are delineated by faithful friends who care about you and your work. “Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain , that are ready to die; for I have not found thy works perfect before God.” Revelation 3:2
6.Manifest more tolerance for younger erring brethren, who may lack discernment on some issues, but who will gradually respond when their spiritual perception sharpens as the truth is presented to them. “… but thou , O man of God flee these things; and follow after righteousness , godliness, faith, love, patience and meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called...” 1st Timothy 5:11-12
7.Urge younger believers to stand firm, for the faith, which was once delivered unto the saints, and not to bend to the trends of the day. ” O Timothy keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called which some professing have erred concerning the faith . Grace be with you.” 1st Timothy 6:20-21
Friend, If your worship does not lead you to work for the Lord, then there is something wrong with your worship. ! Know this that the value of life is not computed by its duration but by its donation. After all the world does not have a problem with those wo are searching for the truth; its problem is with those who have found the truth. May we come to the Lord with a yearning and longing hearts and ask Him to , ” teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom…” Psalm 90:12
