Daily Bible Nugget #819, Luke 8:18

Posted on January 7, 2024 by Jerry


The Nugget:

Luke 8:18  Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have. (KJV)

Luk 8:18  “So pay attention to how you listen! Those who understand these mysteries will be given more knowledge. However, some people don’t understand these mysteries. Even what they think they understand will be taken away from them.” (GW, God’s Word translation)

Luk 8:18  “Be careful, then, how you listen; because those who have something will be given more, but whoever has nothing will have taken away from them even the little they think they have.” (GNB, Good News Bible)

Luk 8:18 Pay attention to how you listen! Everyone who has something will be given more, but people who have nothing will lose what little they think they have. (CEV, Contemporary English Version)

Luk 8:18 So take care how you listen, for whoever gets more will have more given to him, and whoever does not get more will have even what he thinks he has taken away from him.” (Williams New Testament)

My Comment:

Reading Luke 8:18 in the light of its immediate context by reading the whole eighth chapter of Luke will help any reader to understand this passage better. In Mark 4:24 Jesus commanded us to take heed as to what we hear. This near parallel in Luke 8:18 commands us to take care how we listen. We need to listen to God’s word in a manner that enables us to remember what we have read or heard read. That way we will be able to build upon our prior knowledge so that we understand and retain still more. This will help us apply what we know to practical matters that guide our steps in the proper way.

Daily Bible Nugget #818, Mark 4:24

Posted on January 6, 2024 by Jerry


The Nugget:

Mar 4:24  And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

My Comment:

We need to exercise great caution when we hear or even see the news. Very few sources are devoted to informing us what is actually taking place.

When a major event takes place, pay attention to what is first reported by those who are on the scene. Later reports sometimes are more accurate but sometimes they are “slanted” in content or leave important facts out.

Today is the anniversary of a significant gathering at the United States Capitol on January 6 just a few years ago.

I spent much time watching video reports from media and individuals who were there at the time. I also listened to reports on the radio.

One of the first reports I distinctly remember hearing was on a radio news broadcast the morning of January 6. The report said that several buses were filled with people coming to Washington, D.C., and escorted by what appeared to be police vehicles.

I later learned and also actually saw the passengers exit the buses after donning MEGA caps so that the riders appeared to be part of this patriotic event. It turns out that these passengers were up to no good and had come to disrupt and otherwise tarnish the event.

I also heard and watched some Christians who were present who were sharing the Gospel of Christ with those who would listen.

I also watched as genuine conservatives attempted to restrain the actions of infiltrators who were attempting to break windows and otherwise engage in mayhem.

The picture presented in President Biden’s speech the other day is totally false. This event was never intended to be an “insurrection.” In fact it was never an insurrection. It was a peaceful protest against the perpetrators of a stolen election. Notice how many claim to support “democracy” but usually fail to acknowledge that our country is a federal republic. The founders were very much against democracy.

President Trump authorized a large contingent of National Guard to help protect the Capitol, if needed. The mayor of Washington, D.C., refused the aid President Trump offered. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi also refused the help. Now you know who wanted things that day to turn violent.

I think it is the FBI who have carefully reviewed footage of the January 6 crowd as well as cell phone location records to identify who had come to this event. Over 1000 individuals identified as present that day have been placed in jails in Washington, D.C., and have been left in jail as virtual political prisoners these several years since.

Remember that elections have consequences. Remember that all liars will find themselves where they do not want to be according to Revelation 21:8. Do not be part of the misinformation campaign currently being waged with a vengeance. Stand up for the truth of God’s Word and reach others for Christ.

Daily Bible Nugget #817, 1 Samuel 14:15

Posted on January 4, 2024 by Jerry


The Nugget:

1Sa 14:15  And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling. (KJV)

1Sa 14:15  There was panic among the army in the field and all the troops in the military post. The raiding party also trembled in fear. The earth shook, and there was a panic sent from God. (GW, God’s Word translation)

1Sa 14:15  All the Philistines in the countryside were terrified; the raiders and the soldiers in the camp trembled with fear; the earth shook, and there was great panic. (GNB, Good News Bible)

1Sa 14:15 The whole Philistine army panicked–those in camp, those on guard duty, those in the fields, and those on raiding patrols. All of them were afraid and confused. Then God sent an earthquake, and the ground began to tremble. (CEV, Contemporary English Version)

My Comment:

I found the four New Testament statements about the directly stated four wills of God fully discussed in a book I purchased for my Logos Bible Software library:

Eggerichs, E. (2018). The 4 wills of god: the way he directs our steps and frees us to direct our own. B&H Books.

At first, I was not inclined to purchase the book. I try to avoid buying books that my Greek and Old Testament Prophecy courses instructor, Dr. Stuart Custer, described as “devotional fluff.” Professor Custer told us in Greek class, “If you want devotional fluff, write your own.” I have generally followed his advice.

But this time, my interest in The Four Wills of God: The way He directs our steps and frees us to direct our own was piqued when I carefully read the “See Inside” preview of the book.

It turns out that the author, Pastor Emerson Eggerichs, was the pastor of East Lansing Trinity Church just after I attended that church when I worked at Resources Development Corporation (RDC) of East Lansing, Michigan. I learned of RDC through Dr. Donald J. Lloyd, my professor at Wayne State University, from whom I took courses in linguistics in graduate school. I lived in the basement apartment of Dr. Lloyd’s home while working at RDC. I wrote programmed instruction materials for industry. The following summer I lived in a basement apartment of a missionary couple who served in campus ministry at Michigan State University. They were affiliated with East Lansing Trinity Church, while I was continuing my work at RDC.

I have never met Pastor Emerson Eggerichs, but his book brought back memories of those years I worked summers in East Lansing.

Pastor Eggerichs fully discusses the Four Wills of God and the four New Testament passages that state them (Matthew 6:40; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; 1 Thessalonians 5:18; 1 Peter 2:13-15). These wills, in brief, are (1) that we be saved through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ; (2) that we maintain moral purity by avoiding all sexual sin, whether adultery or fornication or any other; (3) that we be thankful for everything–the good and the bad–that comes our way; (4) that we be truly submissive to all the authorities that are over us unless they ask or demand that we violate what God commands of us in Scripture.

Pastor Eggerichs asserts that (5) when we have fully complied with the Four Wills of God directly revealed in the New Testament, if God provides us no further guidance regarding our life choices, we are free to choose our path as seems best to us: God then frees us to direct our own steps.

I found it interesting to learn that Pastor Eggerichs first learned of some related principles from a book written by Pastor John MacArthur:

MacArthur, J., Jr. (2012). Found: god’s will. David C Cook.

In a much earlier edition (1973) of Found: God’s Will, John MacArthur had remarked that he was helped greatly by studying this subject by means of The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge. Pastor Eggerichs remarks that he, too, found much help in studying the subject by using The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, though he mistakenly refers to it as The Treasury of Scriptural Knowledge in his book.

In The Ultimate Cross Reference Treasury and The New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge  I have indexed the topic “Guidance, hand of providence in” to 1 Samuel 14:15, where a note from the original Treasury of Scripture Knowledge on this subject occurs.

Cross Reference Bible Study for 1 Samuel 14:15 from The Ultimate Cross Reference Treasury:

1 Samuel 14:15
there was trembling. Jos 2:9, Jdg 7:21, 2Ki 7:6, 7, Job 18:11, Psa 14:5.

the spoilers. 1Sa 13:17; 1Sa 13:23.

the earth quaked. Exo 19:18, Mat 24:7; Mat 27:50, 51.

very great trembling. Heb. trembling of God. +*Gen 23:6; +Gen 35:5, Lev 26:36, 37, 2Sa 5:24, 1Ch 12:22, +Psa 36:6 mg. Dan 5:6, Act 7:20, FS108C4, Idiom F/S 834, “of God” is used as an adjective. Here, “trembling of God” means a very great trembling, meaning an earthquake. For another instance of this figure see Psa 36:6 mg. Note (from the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, not in the Comprehensive Bible): God will in some way or other direct the steps of those who acknowledge him in all their ways, and seek unto him for direction with full purpose of heart. Sometimes we find most comfort in that which is least our own doing, and into which we have been led by the unexpected, but well observed, turns of Providence.

Daily Bible Nugget #816, 1 Peter 2:15

Posted on January 3, 2024 by Jerry


The Nugget:

1 Peter 2:15  For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: (KJV)

1Pe 2:15  God wants you to silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing what is right. (GW, God’s Word translation)

1Pe 2:15  For God wants you to silence the ignorant talk of foolish people by the good things you do. (GNB, Good News Bible)

1Pe 2:15 God wants you to silence stupid and ignorant people by doing right. (CEV, Contemporary English Version)

1Pe 2:15 For God’s will is this–that you should silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing what is right. (TCNT, Twentieth Century New Testament)

My Comment:

I shared the following quotation with many of my students:

“Live so that when men speak ill of you, nobody will believe them.”  Anonymous

That is an important key to maintaining a good reputation.

Many times you will be misunderstood. You will be the focus of those who think they can bully you by their efforts to tarnish your reputation or character. This certainly takes place in schools–I experienced this first hand both as a student and as a teacher.

God’s will is that we put to silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing what is right.

This represents the fourth instance of the direct statement of God’s will for each of us.

To understand 1 Peter 2:15,  we must take it in its immediate context–what comes before and what comes after:

Submission to Authority
1Pe 2:13 Submit to all human institutions for the Lord’s sake, alike to the emperor as the supreme authority,
1Pe 2:14 and to governors as the men sent by him to punish evil-doers and to commend those who do right.
1Pe 2:15 For God’s will is this–that you should silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing what is right.
1Pe 2:16 Act as free men, yet not using your freedom as those do who make it a cloak for wickedness, but as Servants of God. (TCNT)

An attitude and practice of submission is the key to obeying God’s will.

This may be a very hard requirement for most of us to conform to in our various relations to those who have authority over us. Nevertheless, it is important that we conform to God’s expressed will.

There are exceptions to the general rule–even Peter firmly voiced an exception himself as recorded in Acts 5:29,

Acts 5:29
29  Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
King James Version

Much more could be said about God’s will as it is taught in the Bible. You can find much more by studying the cross references given below.

Daily Bible Nugget #815, 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Posted on January 2, 2024 by Jerry


The Nugget:

1Th 5:18  In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. (KJV)

1Th 5:18  Whatever happens, give thanks, because it is God’s will in Christ Jesus that you do this. (GW, God’s Word translation)

1Th 5:18  be thankful in all circumstances. This is what God wants from you in your life in union with Christ Jesus. (GNB, Good News Bible)

1Th 5:18 Whatever happens, keep thanking God because of Jesus Christ. This is what God wants you to do. (CEV, Contemporary English Version)

1Th 5:18 Make it a habit to give thanks for everything, for this is God’s will for you through Christ Jesus. (Williams New Testament)

My Comment:

This is the third of four New Testament passages which directly state what the will of God is for us. It is God’s will that we give thanks for everything, whatever happens, in all circumstances. This means for everything–whatever happens, whether good or bad. This seems contrary to normal human reason because it is not human reason but the will of God. Making this our habit will bring freedom (not bondage, depression, and remorse) into our life in union with our Lord Jesus Christ. As our example, our Lord Jesus Christ did this very thing under circumstances far more trying than ours (Hebrews 12:1, 2, 3).

Daily Bible Nugget #814, 1 Thessalonians 4:3

Posted on January 1, 2024 by Jerry

 

The Nugget:

1 Thessalonians 4:3  For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: (KJV)

1Th 4:3  It is God’s will that you keep away from sexual sin as a mark of your devotion to him. (GW, God’s Word translation)

1Th 4:3  God wants you to be holy and completely free from sexual immorality. (GNB, Good News Bible)

1Th 4:3 God wants you to be holy, so don’t be immoral in matters of sex. (CEV, Contemporary English Version)

1Th 4:3 For it is God’s will that you should keep pure in person, that you should practice abstinence from sexual immorality, (Williams New Testament)

My Comment:

This is the second of four New Testament passages that explicitly declare God’s will for you and me. God’s guidance and direction and answers to prayer are hindered, if not blocked, if we do not follow God’s already revealed will. This passage addresses a sensitive but very important subject: absolute moral purity. In the words of Young’s Literal Translation, we are to “abstain from the whoredom,” or in the words of the Lavender’s Translation, “[2] Now you know what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus. [3] For this is the will of God–your holy living: that you keep yourself away from every kind of sexual immorality.”

Daily Bible Nugget #813, John 6:40

Posted on December 31, 2023 by Jerry


The Nugget:

Joh 6:40  And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. (KJV)

Joh 6:40  My Father wants all those who see the Son and believe in him to have eternal life. He wants me to bring them back to life on the last day.” (GW, God’s Word translation)

Joh 6:40  For what my Father wants is that all who see the Son and believe in him should have eternal life. And I will raise them to life on the last day.” (GNB, Good News Bible)

Joh 6:40 My Father wants everyone who sees the Son to have faith in him and to have eternal life. Then I will raise them to life on the last day. (Contemporary English Version)

Joh 6:40 For it is my Father’s will that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and that I shall raise him to life on the last day.” (Williams New Testament)

My Comment:

It is possible to know the will of God. In the New Testament this will is clearly and directly stated. You really do not need to “find” God’s will–it is not lost somewhere in the woods where you have to seek to find it hidden someplace.

In John 6:40 Jesus tells us that it is the will of God that we believe in Him to have eternal life. On this issue, there can be no question what the will of God is!
