daily prayer

    Good morning!  How are we faithing? Some practice a very dangerous thing. They take one verse of the Word to justify something they believe or want to be so. People, anything can be used for good or bad and taking one verse because it "fits" an idea is not how we are to take the Word. The whole council of God is to be taken in it's entirety. Sure things like "thou shalt not steal" are hard fast but there are numerous cults that came about from one verse taken out of context.  The apostles, mainly Paul, addressed many things that were pertinent to the culture as viewed with Godly wisdom but were not commandments forever. Paul spoke of women are to be silent in church but there were also prophetess' , helpers and also preached and witnessed to the gentiles. There are deaconesses in the Bible. Paul was speaking of order in church and also because women were not treated culturally the way they are now. Big subject but if that verse were to be taken alone, we'd never hear a female voice in church. Read Acts 15:1-29 to see an example how things can  
get weird if the whole council is not looked at.



Pro 1:5-6
  A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

Heavenly Father,
  Thank you for your Word that guides and teaches us. Help us see truth and wisdom in your Word. Let us not get off the narrow path onto something that can become heresy. Lord we lift those seeking you that they see you today. Help our doubt become belief. In Jesus name, amen
