                                                                             Religion. Religion Will be “Worthwhile or Worthless”. Those who consider themselves “religious” and yet “do not” keep a tight rein on their tongues “deceive themselves”, and “Their Religion Is Worthless”.   Religion that God our Father accepts as “pure and faultless” is this: “to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world”.   (James 1:27) Religion is either “Pure or Impure”.   You Must Do It “Like Us”. Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that our Religion is either, Worthwhile or Worthless.   The way we treat one another shows if our Religion is Worthwhile or Worthless. Worthwhile Religion   shows itself in how we Treat Our Neighbors”, th...

                                                                      Knowledge & Love. Knowledge Puffs Up - Love Builds Up. Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that “We all possess knowledge”.   But “knowledge puffs up” while “love builds up”.   Those who think they know something do not yet know as they ought to know.   But whoever Loves God is Known By God.   (1 Corinthians 8:1-3) Love “With Knowledge” makes us Look Like Jesus. Knowledge “Without Love” will make us look like Satan. Our Daily Nugget is Paul explaining to the Church at Corinth and to us the roll of Love and the roll of Knowledge.   Knowledge alone, can never get us to where we need to be, nor can knowledge without Love Deliver or Save us.   To place knowledge ahead of Love is to have “a god” instead of “ha...

                                                                             Hard Hearts. The Destiny of Hard Hearts. So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live like the Gentiles do, “in the ‘futility’ of their thinking”.   They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of “the ignorance that is in them” “due to the hardening of their hearts” (minds).   Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in “every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed”.   (Ephesians 4:17-19) Hard Hearts, “The Fruit of Greed and Futile Thinking”. Our Daily Nugget is Paul telling us that “If” we really are “New Creatures”, we “Will Live Like New Creatures” because our “Thinking Is ...

                                                                    Scorned Sacrifices, Will Bring Disdain if we Honor “others or things” over Him. Why do you “scorn my sacrifice and offering” that I prescribed for my dwelling?   Why do you honor your sons “more than Me” by fattening yourselves (stealing from the offerings)   on the choice parts of every offering “made by the people of Israel. Therefore the Lord, the God of Israel, declares:   I promised that members of your family would minister before me forever.   But now the LORD declares: Far be it from Me!   “Those Who Honor Me I Will Honor”, but “Those Who Despise Me Will Be Disdained”.   (1 Samuel 2:29&30) Disdain - To treat someone or something with contempt, scorn, or rejection, viewing them as worthless, inferior, or underser...

                                                                                  Just. Are you Just or Unjust? Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the “Just” “Shall Live By Faith”.   (Habakkuk 2:4) For therein is the Righteousness of God revealed from Faith to Faith: as it is written, The Just Shall Live By Faith.   (Romans 1:17) The Just Shall Live By Faith. The Unjust Shall Live By Deception and Lies. Faith -   The confident assurance in God, His Character, and His Promises, combined with total Trust and Action, even when things cannot be seen. Just - Means acting in accordance with what is “morally, fair, and aligned with God’s Character”.   Righteousness and Fairness, it’s being “upright, honest and impartial according to The Bible, n...

                                                                         Whose Glory? God’s Glory or Personal Glory? Now “All Glory to God”, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us (The Holy Spirit), to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.   Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever!   Amen.   (Ephesians 3:20-21) Jesus answered, My Teaching is not my own.   It comes from the one who sent me.   Anyone who “chooses to do the will of God” will find out whether I speak on my own. Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain “personal glory”, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him “Is A Man of Truth”; there is “nothing false about him”.   Has not Moses given you the law?   Yet, not one ...
