Never forget!

My Manna

"Even though our outer person is being destroyed, our inner person is being renewed day by day." 2 Corinthians 4:16.

Teenagers are often teased about how much time they spend in front of the mirror. 

Actually, people of all ages spend thousands of hours over their lifetimes keeping their bodies presentable: 

- the showers, 

- the haircuts, 

- shaving,

- the teeth brushings etc. 

Add it all together, and the time we spend on grooming tasks is pretty substantial.

Yet although we give our bodies the best of care, they are still only temporary and will one day pass away. 

This doesn't mean you should stop combing your hair, but it's important to keep the right perspective.

Paul was never one to mince his words, like when he wrote: 

"Our outer person is being destroyed," or "is wasting away." 

Our souls, however, are eternal and will never grow old.

When we feed our souls on God's Word, when we take time to pray, when we love the people around us, our efforts are never wasted. 

Rather than withering away-

- our souls become fresher and more vibrant each day, 

- Even as our physical bodies are inching one day closer to death. 

Every day for as long as we live-

- Our inner selves are able to experience more and more of life as we grow in our relationship to Christ.

Think about how much time you spend caring for your body. 

Then compare this to the amount of time you spend nurturing your soul. 

Never forget, your soul will be around long after your body is not. 

So be sure to take good care of it..

"For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock." Acts 20:29.
The story is told of an inspector who worked for the counterfeit department of currency.

His job was to detect the false currency from the real.

When asked if he spent a lot of time handling and examining counterfeit money, he said no.
He spent so much time handling the real thing that he could immediately detect the counterfeit.

The best way to detect what is false is to know what is true.

And I believe that if you have a good working knowledge of the Bible-
- then you will be able to detect the false rather quickly,
- because you are so familiar with the genuine article.

I have found that people who are into false teaching don't seem to go out into the culture and win people to their convictions-
- because they are so weird.

Instead, they come into strong, growing churches and infiltrate their ranks, saying things like-
"Hey, do you want to get into the real deep things of God?
Do you want to really get into heavy-duty truth?
Then come over to this little meeting we are having."

They go about their deception in a clandestine, secretive way.

The apostle Paul warned about false teachers who would creep into the church:
"For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves." Acts 20:29-30.

We need to be equipped.
We need to be prepared.

We need to know the truth-
- because when we are conversant with the Word of God,
- we will recognize when something weird comes along.

We will be aware that it does not jive with Scripture.
So be a student of the Word of God.
