Say It Again
“Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.” (Philippians 3:1)
Today’s Morsel: How many times would you say that you have heard the same salvation message repeated? Sometimes we need to hear the same things over again so that we do not forget. The book of Deuteronomy is just a book of remembrance for the children of Israel so that they would not forget what God had done for them. When I was in the Army, we had basic subject classes that we had to attend every six months, and some once a year. They did not want us to forget them and how they applied to our lives and the lives of others. Paul told the church at Philippi that for him to write to them the same things were not grievous to him, but it was for their safety. You see, if we aren’t careful, we can begin to shun the important things of doctrine and begin to fall for every wind of doctrine. When truth is compromised, because folks don’t know it, it makes it easy for falling away. And Solomon states: “The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.” (Proverbs 21:16) So, let me say it again, don’t wander from the name of Jesus or you will be lost. “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12).
Sing: In my heart a melody, Jesus whispers sweet and low, fear not I am with thee, peace be still, throughout all of life’s ebbs and woes.
Oh yes, it’s Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, sweetest name I know; fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go.
Thought For Today: Tell me His name again.
