Minded Again

06/30/2025

Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

Philippians 3:17-19

In fact, it goes back to what the Word had just said almost introduced in the form of a rhyme.

Let us walk by the same rule

Let us mind the same thing

It really is quite simplistic really this Gospel that has been introduced to the children. If you have, how shall I put this, need of a theology degree to understand whatever he is saying, something somewhere is terribly wrong of a sort and I think I know what it is then at first. The Word of God always has and will always be incredibly simple and explains itself well. Having a manner of sticking up for itself and also being self-reliant much rather. That means, basically that it has not need for your defense then I guess. Rather, if you let it, it will shape its own self. Thus it has not need for your scissors and glue or anything else that you might would have need so that you also might comfortably breathe. A lot of times in this life we being human have need of those whom we would follow and also some guides. That is because being the sheep of his pasture we too are ever so prone to wander off and to stray away from his way. By being able to look unto others aside from just Paul, is sort of if you will expanding the circle of help that would watchcare over the church and also get dressed. You know, how often the church is prone to put on something dirty, exposed. It is far better still just to trust God with this thing. Putting on clothes that do not really suite you as much as supposed whether that be your own righteousness or whatever you wished. These besides a simple going astray are quite willful in that. These would have Christ on the cross still all hung up and bruised all in the name of getting them food. Whatever the reason, these are enemies of him also just as Paul in the name of his standing in community settings had gone around making a wreck out of the halls and the towns. It was a persecuting the believers as a way of putting it nicely. Safe to say that God could turn even this for his victory. Which is anything you let it in the hands of the Lord. How you can avoid making an enemy of the cross of Christ to your shame is simple in this having both an eye out for destruction and also the god of your belly. Having glory in everything then this old world has to bring is not a strictly as it would a mind the things of the Lord.
