05/09/23 KNOWING IS ESSENTIAL

Christian truth is not one dimensional.

In order to grasp the full meaning of God's enlightenment (individually), we must have a knowledge and a proper understanding of the various doctrines of the Bible (prayer, worship, victorious living, grace, fellowship, ministry, family, spiritual unity, service). God revealed truth concerning man's condition, God's nature, God's requirements, God's plan, God's salvation, God's presence, God's people, end times. It is a lot to learn but it is not more than we need, or more than we are able to comprehend.

However, it is opposed by Satan, and he attacks from several angles, such as incompetent pastors and teachers, disinterested parishioners, false teachers and false doctrines, intimidation, misdirection.

We have entered a period of human history that is more like the days of Noah and the days of Lot than we have ever seen. Sadly, many of those who are church people will not be ready for the sudden destruction and will fail of the grace of God. 

Hebrews 12:14-17
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
