VerseD: Proverbs 27:17
Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17, ESV
As much as we like to think we have it all figured out, we need each other to correct, encourage, and help each other through life.

VerseD: 1 John 4:4
Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
1 John 4:4, ESV
When we think we know better than everyone, we are more likely to fail.
Trust our Creator and His promises rather than merely following our own knowledge and wisdom.
VerseD: Psalm 139:13-14
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.
Psalm 139:13-14, ESV
We don’t know our own bodies as much as we might like to think we do.
God, however, knows us intimately – mind, body, soul – and we have been called by Him to know Him.
VerseD: 3 John 1:11
Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God.
3 John 1:11, ESV
Too much knowledge puffs up, and we like to think we know more than we do. Then we copy what feels right to us rather than what may be true. Let us seek God and His wisdom, knowing that He alone is good and true.
VerseD: 1 Corinthians 13:7
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1 Corinthians 13:7, ESV
We don’t know everything, unlike God. Yet, we are called to love like Him: patiently, sacrificially, hopefully, and in truth but with grace and mercy.
This Sunday at Church: Pray for the Church to be united Biblically

This Sunday at Church I want to encourage you to do the following: Pray for the Church to be united Biblically. I think today’s world often stress shallow unity. Sometimes the church can imitate the world where its the idea of unity at any cost, even with the sacrifice of sound biblical doctrines. That’s […]

VerseD: Proverbs 3:7
Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
Proverbs 3:7, ESV
We are very limited in our knowledge of life, the universe, and everything.
Once we acknowledge this, we can seek the One who knows all things and has told us what is good.
VerseD: Romans 10:13
For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Romans 10:13, ESV
We cannot be saved nor continue faithfully in sanctification if we are not focused on the life, death, resurrection, and sovereignty of Christ.
VerseD: 1 Peter 5:10
And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
1 Peter 5:10, ESV
When our focus is on God, even the sufferings of this world will seem insignificant as we remember His suffering for us and the promise of renewal and restoration in the next life.
VerseD: Isaiah 55:6-7
“Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.”
Isaiah 55:6-7, ESV
When our focus is on God, it leads others to possibly seek Him in this life while they can, turning from sin to God because of His light in us.

Do we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths? Maybe I can help with the mind part, at least! This is Daniel M. Klem, apparent poet, reluctant yet passionate Disciple (Peter?), and foolish man attempting to understand theology!
