Weekly Scripture 4-26-2026

Answer:

This comes from Romans.

__:__Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

*I remember seeing a person that I used to work with throw a pinch of salt over their left shoulder after spilling some salt. I asked why they threw the pinch of salt over their shoulder and the response that I got was very strange. The person told me this: “If a person accidentally spills some salt, they must immediately throw a pinch over their left shoulder. The devil likes to attack from the rear, and will also attack from the left, or sinning side. The idea is that salt scares the devil away.”. Now there was an example of superstition. I said, “You don't actually believe that do you?”, they responded back saying,”I have to have my bases covered.”. So, many people are just like that person and are led by things like this, and people that are traveling down that road are actually on a road that leads out to what Paul was talking about in this text. There are many people in this country that are in the position to know God and yet behave in silly ways like this example. Later on in this same chapter Paul explains in verse 25 that the people had exchanged the truth for a lie and worshiped the creation rather than the Creator. I simply told the person, “The devil is not afraid of you throwing salt over your left shoulder, but he is very scared of Scripture when applied in the correct way; and he is extremely scared when a true believer in Jesus that has trusted Him for their salvation goes to Him (God) in sincere prayer and that believer yields their life to God's will.”. Why is the devil scared of scripture? Because it is the truth about your need and what Jesus did for you on the cross, and the devil does not want anyone to find out about the truth. Today big tech and the press have teamed up with the deep state people in the world and are trying to suppress and cover the truth about so many things. They follow the same pattern laid down by the one they follow, “Satan” who is the father of lies. 

Weekly Scripture 4-19-2026

Answer: Galatians 6:7-8

This comes from Galatians.

__:__-__Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

*Just because a person is saved does not give them the license to go out and paint the town red; nor does it give the right to just follow your own plan and ignore God's plan. Even if your plan does not appear to be a wicked one; disobedience to God has a high cost. A person must realize that when he or she has been saved then we have the ability to let ourselves be controlled by God the Holy Spirit. That means a life that is characterized by living by faith (that means trusting) in Jesus and submission to His will; and by doing so we will find ourselves sowing to the Spirit. You see the true Christian obeys because they are saved by Jesus not because they are working to get saved. God gives the harvest in this case and it is life everlasting. Now, the other way is just to decide that we want to do things our way, and you may not believe this but when one follows this pattern they are actually saying this: “God I don't need your plan here, I can get by without you....”. Well, God is not mocked and when a person sows that way they are sowing according to the flesh and they will most certainly reap the corruption that goes along with their disobedience.
