Let's Go Back to the Bible

What do we know more about?

Read these words of Jesus from Luke 12:54-56 and ask yourself, how does this apply to me?  “Then He also said to the multitudes, ‘Whenever you see a cloud rising out of the west, immediately you say, “A shower is coming”; and so it is.  And when you see the south wind blow, you say, “There will be hot weather”; and there is.  Hypocrites!  You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time?”

There are a few different applications that could be made, but think about this one.  Have we not also trained ourselves to know and recognize certain things?  Young people are sent to school to learn trends of history, observations of science, formulas of mathematics, stories of literature and skills of reading and writing.  We want them to learn, to develop and to be successful.  But, what if we learn ALL of this STUFF about earthly existence and completely miss (or even dismiss) God’s instructional guide for heavenly existence?  To paraphrase another question of Jesus, “What will it profit a man if he learns everything in this world but not God’s will?”
