Journal Week 26

- I need to lay scripture on my heart by memorizing it then I need to meditate on it: I need to receive it, personalize it, and apply it.

- The purpose of studying the Bible is to obey! I need to not only learn God’s commands but put them to practice. God is not impressed by my intentions. Imagine if Noah had said “Well, I really tried to build that ark...”

- The word of God is complete, totally inspired by God, without error, unchanging, profitable, practical, POWERFUL, it cannot diminish or decay, it is indestructible, and it is eternal.

- The belt of truth: the belt was the piece of armour that held every other piece of armour in it’s proper place. Therefore, I need to be grounded in Christ (that is truth). I cannot tolerate even a little bit of error mixed in with His truth (it would be like putting up with just a tiny bit of dog poop in a batch of brownies).

- I should be more excited by the person of Christ than by deciphering prophecy.

- No one can be deceived until they first reject what they know to be true.During the thousand year reign of Christ, tribulation saints will still be having children and repopulating the earth. Although everyone will outwardly serve Christ, it will be from the children of the tribulation saints that Satan will construct his army when he comes back one final time. This shows that even given the perfect circumstances, man will still do wrong!
