I Thessalonians 5:21. God gave us the perfect Book to use to discern between good and cviL But people today laugh at the Biblc-lh- ey laugh in Gods face. They are supposing that they are as good or better than God. They arc living their lives to thdr own way of thinking, instead of the way He teUa to in His word. I Timothy 6:1b says that we should not let the name of God or His doctrine be blasphemed. Paul goes on in verses 3 A 4, "If any man leach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome wards, even the wads of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but is fond of questions and strifes of words, whereof comcth envy, strife, railings, evil puxmising." II Timothy 3 tells of the time we see right now before us. Venus state, "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. Far men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthsnkful, unholy, without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, dcqnsen of those that are good, traitors, heady, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God; having form of godliness, but denying the power thereof..." II Timothy 2:15 A 16 says, "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto mare ungodliness. Verse 19 goes on, "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, the Lord knoweth them that are His. And, let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity." God will have the last word someday soon. When you stand before Him will you hear him say, "I never knew you: depart from me ye woken 1- -5 high-minde- d, t . has been ;hoscn as Student of the Month.
