In the last post I talked about how chapter 4 of 1 Timothy was dealing with foods of all kinds being acceptable to eat if eaten with thanksgiving to God. That is a bitter pill for some to swallow who follow the church tradition of my church in the most conservative of ways. That is okay. God will lead them as He wills in His time. For me, it was a relief to read.
That connects with today's post.
Those who teach the faith and the acceptance that is found in Jesus are rewarded. Just watch out for old "wives fables" as this translation puts it. It explains that taking care of your body is all good and well as it benefits you to some extent. However taking care of your relationship with Jesus is more important as if affects not just this life but the one to come.
We trust in Jesus. He died for all humanity. We can count on Him.
This is a place where I am study God's Word for myself. I am a bit of a historian so also including some research into the culture of the times and people that I come across as I read the Bible will be here too. This is just a way for me to share what I learn with others as well as feel like I am being held accountable for keeping up with my devotions. I am lazy by nature and need that small check and balance.
