Limitations of the Bible

Would you agree that a car is not only practical but also beneficial? It is especially useful on hot summer days or cold rain-filled winter nights when walking seems less appealing. However, attempting to utilize a car to traverse the Pacific Ocean or soar over mountains will inevitably lead to disappointment. A car can efficiently transport you from one point to another as long as you use it the way it was designed and intended to be used.

Protect Your Heart

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” – Proverbs 4:23, NIV

It is commonplace for most law enforcement personnel today to wear bulletproof vests during their duty hours. While these vests typically consist of durable synthetic materials, military personnel often deploy vests fortified by metal or ceramic plates for added protection in combat scenarios.

Wise Choices

“Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is”. – Ephesians 5:15-17

When we are young, our options for friendships are limited to our siblings, as we don’t have the liberty to select our neighbors, classmates, or teammates. However, as we mature, we gain the ability to make some of these choices ourselves.

Above All Else

 “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans” – Proverbs 16:3

When envisioning your future, what occupies your thoughts? What drives your ambitions and propels the significant efforts of your life? It’s essential to reflect on what captures your attention and what you are willing to sacrifice for. In a world that often advocates the pursuit of pleasure, comfort, convenience, and material wealth, there is a scarcity of voices urging us to commit ourselves to the pursuit of godliness.

Gift in the Gift

“She will bear a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” Now, all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which translated means, “God with us.” – Matthew 1:21-23

Gifts hold an undeniable charm. Most of us delight in unwrapping a present, discovering the treasure hidden within. Picture receiving a gift and neglecting to unwrap it— the true essence remains a mystery until you invest the time to explore it.

Great Joy!

The star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. – Matt 2:9-10

These wise men made significant disruptions to their lives, investing substantial amounts of money as they embarked on an uncertain pilgrimage in search of the Messiah foretold by the prophets. Upon reaching Jerusalem, they encountered deception from the king, yet despite the obstacles, God guided them to Jesus. However, their journey didn’t conclude with passive satisfaction. Instead, they responded with an outpouring of joy.

Give Thanks!

In life, there will always be things that we can complain about, but there is also much to be thankful for. It doesn’t require much effort, we don’t have to look hard to find things related to the issue of thanksgiving nearly from cover to cover in our guide for life.
