PICTURING

Friday, November 04, 2016

  I have this remarkable ability. Give me any single piece of a 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle I will describe for you the entire picture in detail.

  You don’t believe the above claim?!!

  Okay, I’ll make the claim credible in a way you’ll understand that there are a few of us that have outstanding visualization capability: Assemble the entire border to make the task easier for me to remarkably describe the entire image.

  You don’t believe this either.

  Then why do some Christians think they can lazily limit themselves to fragments of Scripture and believe they have the picture of the whole counsel of God pertaining to life-application while awaiting the Rapture or deliverance by death?

  Though I have shared it repeatedly, I once again give you a key starter piece leading to increasing sight of the whole view: 2Timothy [TAB]2:13-16 “If we are faithless (do not believe and are untrue to Him), He remains true [faithful to His Word and His righteous character], for He cannot deny Himself. Remind [the people] of these facts, and [solemnly] charge them in the presence of the Lord to avoid petty controversy over words, which does no good, but upsets and undermines the faith of the hearers. Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing – rightly handling and skillfully teaching – the Word of Truth {1Kin.17:24; Jn.17:17}. But avoid all empty (vain, useless, idle) talk, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness.”
