What you say can mean different things to different people. Be aware.
Every time I read the Holy Bible I am utterly blown away by how much wisdom can be gathered by reading it over and over again, more slowly, with intention. After all, in Matthew 7:7, Jesus tells us to seek and we shall find. Today, in what isn’t a random occurrence (because I was seeking),…
This famous speaker didn’t speak deceitfully…
1Th 2:2 But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention. 1Th 2:3 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile: 1Th 2:4 But as…
Beware the words of people… they may seek to deceive you

Pro 18:4 The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook. — Proverbs 18:4 Yes, that is deep. No pun intended. So much of what a person says directs where they will go in life. Will they rise to the top or sink to the…
Write it down and believe in God
Hab 2:2 “And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. Hab 2:3 “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will…
