Now King Solomon loved many foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh: Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women. from the nations concerning which the Lord had said, You shall not associate with them...for they will surely turn your heart away after their gods. I Kings 11:1-2
The phrase "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts", comes from a story about the Trojan Horse. The Greeks left a giant horse outside the city of Troy that looked like a gift. The horse was filled with soldiers and when it was brought into the city, Troy fell. Although it is a story, King Solomon experienced his own trojan horse. He married 700 wives and brought them into the his kingdom. Each one of them came in with riches that enhanced the power and glory of his kingdom. Hidden in the reception of these wives were their idols, which led Solomon away from God and destroyed his kingdom. We should beware of those "without God" bringing us gifts today as well. The gifts may have a hook in it. May we let God supply our gifts.

All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything. I Corinthians 6:12
We can read the Bible cover to cover and find a life that is within the law, and still be miserable. We need to look deeper into God's will to find the things that are profitable for our spiritual influence. Further, many things may be lawful, but if we have a weakness that will destroy us. Let's make a list of the things we've done today that are really profitable for us. Also let's make a list of the things we've done that could master us. Too often, the list of profitable things will only fill a post-it note, while the list of damaging things would fill a room. The aroma of Christ is much more than just keeping the law. Let's look deeper.

Therefore, I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men. For I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole purpose of God. Acts 20:26-27
As the apostle Paul was leaving Asia, he assured them that he had held back nothing that profitable for them teaching the whole counsel of God without fear. We have a government agency called OSHA (Occupational Safety & Heath Administration) They inspect for anything and everything that could be harmful. They aren't doing anyone any favors by not pointing out and correcting problems. All Christians have been given a commission to preach the good news of Jesus. We should not be afraid to preach the whole counsel of God so that the lost may be led to salvation. We aren't doing anyone any favors by not preaching the truth. Let's be bold, so we too may say that we are innocent of the blood of all men.

Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. I Corinthians 15:50
We cannot keep this body for eternity. God has a new imperishable body prepared for our eternity. We were never meant to live in this world forever, so quit living that way. A Bible class of small children were asked what you had to do to go to heaven. After a long list of requirements were listed, a little boy in the back had one more for the list. He said, "You have to die!" Even if we are still alive at His coming, He has a change for us as well. Just like the nursery. We may not all sleep, but we will all be changed. Jesus passed through that veil first, and He is coming back to show us the way. Let's get ready.

But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. Romans 6:17-18
The Wizard of Oz was a story about people with no heart, no brain, and no courage, following a little girl with red shoes and a dog, up the yellow brick road to the wizard in the promised land. If we are really going to make it to the promised land in heaven, we need reality. We need a brain to learn the teaching of Christ, a heart to obey and change, and courage to stand firm during our life. When we commit our lives to Jesus, He will give us the mind, heart, and courage before we start the trip. Our rainbow of promises come from God. Let's keep walking after His Spirit

O magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together. Psalm 34:3
When we magnify anything, it is much easier for people to see it. In this world of idolatry, the need to magnify the Lord becomes more and more important. How do we magnify the Lord, and how to we lift Him up above the madness?. It is a joint effort. "Do it with me, and let's do it together", the Psalm says. When we bless the Lord at all times, when His praise is continually in our mouths, when our soul boasts in the Lord, the humble will hear it and rejoice. That righteousness that comes from God, will exalt the Lord and exalt our life in Him. Are we having trouble spreading the good news in our world? MAGNIFY, and let's do it together

Like snow in summer and like rain in harvest, So honor is not fitting for a fool. Proverbs 26:1
Want to wake up on a summer morning in a snow storm? Don't want it, and it just doesn't fit. Want to get in the field to harvest, but it won't stop raining? Don't want it, don't need it. Want to find honor for a fool? We cannot be honored by God when we are living the life of a fool, separated from Him. We are given a choice in life. We can choose a life of wisdom and receive God's honor, or choose foolishness and miss His honor. We are warned not to call anyone a fool, but when God calls us a fool, we really are one. And when God takes our honor, we really have lost it. It is fitting that all followers of Christ have God's honor.

Ill-gotten gains do not profit, But righteousness delivers from death. The LORD will not allow the righteous to hunger, But He will reject the craving of the wicked. Proverbs 10:2-3
When we cheat to live, are we saying to God that He is not enough for us? Will ill-gotten gain bless us, profit us, and keep us from death? God has provisions ready for us when we trust in Him. King David had many ups and downs. He dealt with the good and the bad. He wrote in Psalms 37, " I have been young and now I am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, or his descendants begging bread". Trust in God. With Him is the only true profit.

After quieting the crowd, the town clerk said, "Men of Ephesus, what man is there after all who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of the image which fell down from heaven? So, since these are undeniable facts, you ought to keep calm and to do nothing rash. Acts 19:35-36
Every day we are bombarded with information that is false. Politician, preachers, and uninformed neighbors fill us with wrong information. These were the "so called facts" given to the crowd. All the information was completely wrong, and then called "undeniable facts". Artemis was not an image then fell from heaven. If so, she certainly wouldn't have needed protection from the city. When we are bombarded with so called facts, let's turn on our "lie detector". Search the scriptures to see if these things are so.

For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. Rom 12:3
Grace can do a wonderful work in our lives. It will save us from sin, it will keep us from the power of sin, it will equip us for every good work as a Christian. It also should humble us under the mighty hand of God. Here's where we need to be careful. When His grace is working in us we won't be exalting ourselves, we will give Him the glory We will allow God to equip us and lead us into our working place. This is the pattern Jesus left for us. When we boast and "blow smoke", it hides our gifts. Let's empty ourselves as Jesus did. Let's keep ourselves meek, and God will supply our power.

while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. II Corinthians 4:18
Everything in this world has an expiration date. There is a planned obsolescence in all we see. The vision that we receive from God is to look beyond the temporary to the eternal. The devil tries to change the expiration dates to confuse us. He wants us to believe that the things we have in this world will be here forever. At the same time, he confuses us about eternity. Let's look past the devil's trademark and focus on God. What God offers us will last forever.

See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled; Hebrews 12:15
When any of us comes short of the grace of God, we are ill equipped to walk on the road Jesus has for us. When we are short of the grace of God, it affects our salvation, our struggle with sin, our Christian work, and last but not least, our ability to forgive others. This can put us on a slippery slope ignoring discipline. When there is a shortage of grace in our spirit, bitterness can soon spring up. It has defiled many. Let's not let it get us, nor the ones we have been called to disciple. See to it.

Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, Ephesians 3:20
Lots of times we make up prayer lists. We ask for blessings for ourselves and for others. We may be praying for health, good jobs, positive emotions, good friends, or a closer walk with God. Often our wish list is a little bigger than we really believe is possible. We make the list, but doubt if we can really get that much. When we access the power of God in us, He can excess our lists, and our expectations. Let's go ahead and make our lists, and then expect a big plus at the end instead of a flop. Fully persuaded yet? Let's believe it, for He is able.

Behold, as for the proud one,His soul is not right within him; But the righteous will live by his faith. Habakkuk 2:4
This prophet argued with God about the truth of the future. He was proud of His self righteousness, and didn't think God knew what He was doing. That kind of pride is very destructive. Pride separates us from God, and from everyone who might be able to help us. At the same time, we know that our soul is not right within us. We are guilty and cannot admit it, and cannot reach out to God due to our separation. It is time to turn to God by faith. When our righteousness comes by faith, we will live. Let us put our trust in the Lord. He not only can tell us what is in our future, but He can also tell us what to do when it comes. "Trust in the Lord all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding". Proverbs 3:5

Remind them to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed, to malign no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing every consideration to all men. Titus 3:1-2
We should never enter a study or a discussion with a referee's whistle, striped shirt, and a yellow flag. If we must demand authority, stop the discussion when we aren't agreed with, and throw a penalty flag when we disagree, we are in trouble. God wants us to be meek and gentle. To turn away anger with a gentle word and display the fruits of the spirit in all our dealings. Let us place ourselves in last place and allow the Lord and others to exalt us. When we are obedient, kind, peaceable, gentle, and show consideration to all men, God will give us the victory we desire.

If we must demand authority, stop the discussion when we aren't agreed with, and throw a penalty flag when we disagree, we are in trouble. God wants us to be meek and gentle. To turn away anger with a gentle word and display the fruits of the spirit in all our dealings. Let us place ourselves in last place and allow the Lord and others to exalt us. When we are obedient, kind, peaceable, gentle, and show consideration to all men, God will give us the victory we desire.

Better is a dry morsel and quietness with it Than a house full of feasting with strife. Proverbs 17:1
Our meal will never be a great feast if we can't swallow and digest the food. When we eat at a table of strife, trying to eat our food just isn't worth it. Better a stale piece of toast along with a little peace and quiet. How often do we see people eating out with their spouses in silence? They don't speak, because they know that one word will start a fight. That is often the way to tell if people are married or single. What good is a meal that you have to gag on? When Christ is making a real difference in our lives, people should see us feasting with joy, not strife.

Though the fig tree should not blossom, And there be no fruit on the vines, Though the yield of the olive should fail And the fields produce no food, Though the flock should be cut off from the fold And there be no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will exult in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation. Habakkuk 3:17-18
After this prophet debated with God about the difficult times to come, he finally yielded to God's Word. He acknowledged that although difficult times were inevitable, he would exult in the Lord and rejoice. He was going to trust God to help him rise above it all. When we see trouble on the horizon, do we trust or run? Ten years ago, we were facing Y2K. Remember the predictions that everything would stop in 2000? Would we have been faithful if everything stopped? When everything stops, that is when we need to be the most faithful. Let's trust in the Lord in good times and especially in bad times.

No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. II Corinthians 11:14
Do we wonder why people in the world have a difficult time receiving the true message of Jesus? The world is full of false teachers, and even the devil disguises himself to look like an angel of light. At the same time, those of us who ought to be spreading the true light, are often covered with the darkness of inconsistent lives. The devil's goal is to blind the eyes of the unbelieving so they cannot see the truth. We shouldn't help the devil in his quest to keep souls from the truth. When we aren't letting our light shine for God, we unwittingly become agents of the devil. Let's start living in the true light and spreading the true light.

O taste and see that the LORD is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! Psalm 34:8
Are we truly tasting the word of God or just sniffing at it? Most of us have been encouraged, even forced, to try some new food before in our lives. We look at it, sniff at it, and taste it just a little bit. Lots of times, we find out that we really is good, and we are glad we tried it. The same is true with God and His Word. Many people assume they won't like it. When we are encouraged to taste His Word, we find out how blessed we can be partaking of Him. Let's try that Bible class we have been skipping. Start a Bible study and prayer session by ourself everyday. We will find out that we can find a great blessings and refuge in His presence.

Grace for your spirit
Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. I Corinthians 15:50
A preacher started a sermon by saying, "it won't be very long until everyone is this community will be dead." One man laughed. Inquiring as to why he would laugh, the man said, "I'm not from around here." We are not made to live on this earth forever, no matter where we're from. We all must be changed, and transformed to go to heaven. Our flesh and blood bodies are only for here and now. It is just like the church nursery. We shall not all sleep, but we will all be changed. Let's trust God that the change will be much better.

Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! Romans 11:33
Sometimes people will ask a preacher, "How deep is your preaching?" None of us can ever go deep enough to discover everything about God. It is a never ending journey into His wisdom and knowledge. The Greek word for depth is Bathos. Once there was a little submarine invented to go into the depths of the sea. It was called a Bathysphere. It allowed people to discover the depths of the ocean. Our Bathysphere is the Holy Spirit. With that life support, we can search the depths of God's riches. Don't dive without it.
