Biblical Orientated Talks!!

........ May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight O Lord! (Ps 19:14)....... Out of the abundance of my heart, my mouth speaketh.....


We are caught often times in debating or defending; getting caught up in discussions that hold such little significance upon reflection- you could even see the veins appearing along necks at times .... yet at the end of the day, what was the point ? Does whatever being 'battled out through the war of words' tear down any enemy strongholds and build up and edify the other? -who is the enemy by the way- my opponent? is it the brother or the sister currently engaged in the war of words? again, what and who are we up against.... gee! such confusions - being engaged in a battle and not actually knowing who our actual enemy is!! and here we are lashing out and skillfully manipulating all our artillery , m16 and even bazookas- shooting and tearing a fellow soldier down- friendly fire!?- I think not, but the enemy has camouflaged well behind prides and egos to WIN or maybe just to defend.... but along the way 'wounding, stabbing and stumbling' another- the Lord said that we should always 'lift up the weaker ones, considering others higher than one at all times.... let us be prepared in and out of season with His Word that brings LIFE .... He also often reminds me that He does not need me to defend Him... it's ok - don't defend and don't be led into 'fruitless' discussions.... I don't need to take offense on behalf of God- in fact I should learn to take no offense at all...

To cite an example, often we become so oblivious to the rest but engrossed in the topic because it was 'exciting and enlightening' that we forgot that there may be 'babes' in our midst and our topic of discussion may actually cause 'confusion and fear' to them- guilty of non discerning ?? - perhaps there is always the 'right place, right time and right person' but I think if we narrow down what we want to 'talk about in public', we can somehow diminish or lessen this error- opportunities are often times created and held by us- whether we want to share on words that speak and promote 'life' or words that are just passing wind that bears no effect liken to a breeze brushes pass our hair... feeding the spirit more and the flesh less - choosing the "truth that cuts like a double edged sword (Heb 4:12) always as opposed to talks that my itching ears want to hear like the cloud that carries no water (Jude 12)

In fact many a time, when 'biblical orientated topics' (for my simple understanding this will be topics that are Christianity linked or sounds Christian- know what I mean?) are brought up, it is just so easy to be drawn straight into them and in the midst of all the hours spent not to mention the saliva wasted- we ended up not 'growing at all in the Lord' except that our ego or souls are stroked but our spirit man has not been fed or benefited at all-in fact many times, our 'fellow-friends' are left stumbled or wounded- indeed all these are vanity and emptiness-
O Lord, that I may learn to refrain and be constrained because of your Love -to always build up, reconcile and restore.... indeed it is already so difficult for the saints to meet together often in one accord, so each and every time we gather, let us use the time faithfully to plow , to spread the seed, to water, to prune and to bear fruit together.... :o)

It is my desire that Your Word that does the Work in each one comes forth from my mouth at all times- is this a 'holy Jo far-out religious desire???, oh that You touch my lips with the coal of fire.... (Isa 6:5-6) but Lord cleanse me that I may be pure, purge me with hyssop that I may be clean (Ps 51:7) - that the desire of my heart will be Your heart desire....
the transformation of the Lord begins with the heart and a renewed mind- a heart felt cry for the Lord to take us deeper and higher- to let go of our past experience and embrace a new relationship with Him- if we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us ; a broken heart and a contrite spirit, He never despise(Ps 51:17).....

Lord according to your Word, do a Work in me.... create in me a clean heart o God and renew a right spirit within me....(ps51:10)
