Happy New Year! Good tidings unto you and all your kin. May the Lord bless you and keep you this year as in every other, for all His ways are perfect and lead us unto goodness and peace.
With the coming of this new year, I have published a new book! This is the second in the Prayers of a Warrior series. The book is available on Amazon, which you can navigate to by clicking here. You can also click the “Books” button at the top of this webpage.
This new installment focuses on the topics of “Discretion & Discernment.” Scriptures were selected which both speak to these topics directly, as well as those Scriptures which seem to contradict themselves at face value. The entries seek to exhort Christian warriors to grow in these disciplines and reconcile in their Theology any apparent contradictions within the Word of God so as to be both steadier in one’s own walk, and to be prepared to give a correction to critics who would claim the Bible is inconsistent.
With that said, here is a bonus entry written in the same style you will find in the book.
Acts 17:11
Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.
Day by day, must we adhere
And keep God's Word in us most near
Always eager to know more
And of wisdom true, ne're to abhor
Examine those who claim God's call
Test their ev'ry word, yes all
Against the Word we know is true
To see what then is right to do
And then, shall righteous men be found
Our brothers with whom love doth abound
And so, the wicked, brought to light
Who sought to keep you in the night
By this, our family sets to grow
And still more kin, we come to know
By this, we also bless our heart
To see that we are set apart
Beckon me, Lord, unto Thy Word each and every day. May I never neglect this pursuit, lest our enemies be given an edge over me when I am found wanting for understanding. Protect me from such moments of weakness that may present a triumph for deceivers by instilling a passion within me to continually reprove myself with Your Truth. In this way, may glory be unto You, and edification unto others. By this, may I be ever ready to rightly divide truth from lies. Amen.
