Weekly Scripture 5-3-2026

Answer:

This comes from Proverbs.

__:__-__ If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest. The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul. A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards. If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.

*There is just no end to the amount of arguing that you can do with a foolish person, and it normally ends in anger and ridicule. Most of the time people that argue with the wisdom of wise people; that is people that actually listen to God, are actually filled with hate toward the people that they argue with, and you will notice that the term upright has been used in one of the verses. They hate the way of the upright because the “wise and upright person” has chosen wisdom over the things of the world which lead to destruction. In the last verse listed above you find a leader that actually listens to the lies that are spoken by the people around them. A leader such as this has chosen people that will tell lies to protect them, and tell lies to flatter them. The end result is that they surround themselves with babbling liars that have no moral direction or sense of right versus wrong. The liars that they surround themselves with, when the time comes will say or do anything to protect their own skin and they will forget the lies and fake loyalty they had toward the wicked ruler that listened to their flattery in the first place. You can take it to the bank, because it happens everyday of the week in all kinds of places and settings on this earth.  

Weekly Scripture 4-26-2026

Answer: Romans 1:21

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.
