FAITH!

F – A – I – T – H = Forsaking All I Trust Him
F – orsaking
A – ll
I – I
T – rust
H – im
WEATHERMEN
How disappointing it can be at times (most of the time?) when we put our faith in the weathermen and their forecasts. That’s why somebody has said, “Nobody can fool everybody all the time, but weatherforecasters get pretty close.”
But we will never be disppointed, when we put our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and his promises and prophecies.

PRAYING (The Dedication of the Temple)
2 Chronicles 7:1-3
Intr.:
“When Solomon finished praying,
*****************
1. fire came down from heaven and
— When all the Israelites saw the fire coming down and
2. consumed the burnt offering and
3. the sacrifices, and
4. the glory of the LORD filled the temple.
— The priests could not enter the temple of the LORD because the glory of the LORD filled it.
— the glory of the LORD above the temple,
End:
a. they knelt on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and
b. they worshipped and
c. gave thanks to the LORD, saying,
— ‘He is good;
— his love endures forever.'” (2 Chronicles 5:13)

Knowledge and Wisdom
Knowledge, the facts or experiences known to me.
We are adding to our knowledge by
hearing and reading.
Wisdom, the ability to think and act utilizing knowledge.
In Luke 11:28 the Lord Jesus Christ says:
“Blessed are rather those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
ATTENTION PLEASE!
WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO UTILIZE THE KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE ALREADY?
REMEMBER:
WISDOM: THE ABILITY TO THINK AND ACT UTILIZING KNOWLEDGE!
CRONYISM
Where do you find cronyism?
I cannot find it in The Collins Concise Dictionary. That is most surprising!
Then I remembered reading the book “Absolute Power” by Ian Wishart. And there it was in the index at the end of the book. In the book “Absolute Power” you can read about cronyism on seven different pages.
You can find cronyism in politics.
But you can find cronyism also in churches!
