Doctrine

For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead to suit their own desires, they will gather around them great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

2 Timothy 4:3-4

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay own his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit – fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. This is my command: Love each other.

John 15: 12-17

Entire sanctification or not,
tongues or not,
special discernment,
gifts of the spirit,
mysterious new doctrines,
self-declared knowledge,
man-made wisdom,
foolish and stupid arguments,
quarreling over who is right
and who is wrong,
emotional roller coaster rides,
puffed up words fading with the dust,
vanities of the heart;

in the end
all that will be left
is love.

For now we see with imperfection,
peering through a fog shrouded mist,
unable to find complete clarity or understanding,
one day the fog will roll away,
the doubt shall be removed,
we shall see through eyes of perfection;
we shall know perfect truth,
we shall experience perfect love;

one truth,
one Lord,
one kingdom,
one love.

Lord I am so unworthy,
I am so inadequate,
go away from me
for I am a sinful man;
tear out my sin-filled eyes,
burn my lips and tongue
with hot burning coals;
let me be silent
before Your magnificent
and holy presence;
let the whole world be silent,
let every knee bow,
let every heart confess,
that You and You alone
are Lord and King;
that to You
and You alone
does all glory belong,
let me walk in Your light,
let me live in Your love,
let Your will be done
forever.
