Bible Verse of The Day – 5-13-23

Romans 1:26-27 (NKJV) 26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

We are literally watching these verses play out right before our eyes.

Evil is rampant in so many places across the globe now. You may see different aspects of it in different geographical regions. One region may show different signs of it than others; different types of sin in grotesque amounts.

But regardless of which sin is dominating an area, it is at levels that none of us have ever seen.

Sexual sins are at the top of the list in many areas. Sexual perversions of many types are out in the open for all to see. There is no longer any shame.

While we are watching these sexual perversions multiply exponentially, we need to keep in mind that we were forewarned that this would happen.

And as it plays out, it is a good reminder of the faithfulness of God, as He told us of these things to come.

Despite the frustration and feelings of disgust that we experience as we watch it, it’s good for us to look at it through the lens of Biblical prophecy, knowing that what God has foretold is playing out.

His sovereignty and His faithfulness in everything are undeniable, forever and ever.

Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-29-22

1 Corinthians 14:5 (NKJV) 5 I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification.

Paul is speaking to the Corinthians. He is explaining how important it is to 1.) Speak in tongues and 2.) Prophesy.

These two spiritual gifts are very important and should be functioning in our lives as believers.

However, in a public setting, Paul emphasize that prophecy is preferred over tongues if tongues in a public setting cannot be interpreted at the time of speaking them.

And here’s the reason why.

When speaking in tongues, we are speaking to God in the spirit. We speak mysteries in the spirit. No man can understand what we are saying without it being interpreted.

1 Corinthians 14:2 (NKJV) 2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.

Tongues in a public setting depends on the companion gift of interpretation if it is to be interpreted/understood. Praying in tongues is mostly used for personal and private self-edification and praise to God.

Prophecy, on the other hand, is intended to bring edification, exhortation and comfort to men in a large setting and even on a personal level.

We must pursue love and desire both spiritual gifts to be functioning in our lives on a regular basis, in the church, and on a personal level, with love as our primary pursuit.

1 Corinthians 14:1 (NKJV) 1 Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

Praise be to God. Let us move in the gifts of the Spirit!
