What Do You KNOW?

I admit that I'm not the most disciplined guy when it comes to doing this "BLOG THING." However, I've become pretty good at keeping up my "status updates" on Facebook. With that in mind, I've been posting, for the last week, the importance of reading your Bible. (Hosea 4:6) says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge."

I'm concerned that IF Christians don't open up their Bible more than they have in the past, we WILL be DESTROYED for LACK of KNOWLEDGE! It all comes down to what you KNOW, not what you've experienced! Even Jesus made it clear in (John 8:31-32) when He said, "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." That's powerful! The way it's revealed that you're His disciple is that you CONTINUE in His WORD! Which would also means that IF you don't continue in His Word, you're NOT His disciple! Did you get that? In other words, IF you're NOT a student of His Word; IF you're NOT continuing in His Word; IF you're NOT READING HIS WORD, you won't KNOW HIS WORD, and therefore, you're NOT His Disciple! That would mean that some who call themselves a "Christian" are really LYING!

It's not a matter of what you call yourself, or even what all you've experienced. It all comes down to the question, "What Do YOU KNOW?"

(Colossians 2:4-8 ) says, "And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. 5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.

6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ."

Unless you KNOW THE TRUTH, it will be difficult not to be deceived into believing a LIE! Be careful that you're not deceived by philosophy. Be careful that you're not deceived by traditions of men, which is allowing a particular Religious Denomination to determine what you believe instead of the Word of God. Also, be careful that you're not deceived by what the world determines as acceptable (1 John 2:15-17).

Remember (Hosea 4:6) declared, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge!" So, "WHAT DO YOU KNOW?"
