“chatter” (with no basis in truth or value) and “godless” speech (either opposes God, or speaks of no God). And what’s worse, this godless chatter is “falsely called knowledge.” It is interesting that those who we often regard as the most learned and astute can propose ideas that oppose God’s Truth. Further, those ideas – often untested and unproven – are then taken to be knowledge. But we could ask – what value is knowledge if it is false? The Apostle Paul explains what the value of false knowledge is: it causes some to “depart from the faith.” You and I are urged by Scripture to “turn away” from theories and false knowledge that are opposed to God, because they are ultimately useless chatter, which opposes God and can cause people to reject faith in God.

“chatter” (with no basis in
truth or value) and
“godless” speech (either
opposes God, or speaks of
no God).
And what’s worse, this
godless chatter is “falsely
called knowledge.” It is
interesting that those who
we often regard as the
most learned and astute
can propose ideas that
oppose God’s Truth.
Further, those ideas –
often untested and
unproven – are then taken
to be knowledge. But we
could ask – what value is
knowledge if it is false?
The Apostle Paul explains
what the value of false
knowledge is: it causes
some to “depart from the
faith.”
You and I are urged by
Scripture to “turn away” from
theories and false knowledge
that are opposed to God,
because they are ultimately
useless chatter, which
opposes God and can cause
people to reject faith in God.
We pray: Lord – Please guard
our hearts and minds in Christ
Jesus, and give us a hunger
and thirst for your
Truth! Amen.

UPCOMING SERMON SERIES
In John's Gospel we see
a side of Christ that the
other Gospel writers do
not touch on. John was
part of that blessed inner
circle, that handful of
Disciples that was with
Christ during some of
His most intimate
moments. Each chapter
presents a new facet of
Jesus’ divine character —
5/12 The Word of God
5/19 The Son of Man
5/26 The Divine Teacher
6/2 The Great Soul Winner
6/9 The Great Physician
6/16 The Bread of Life
6/23 The Fountain of Living Water
6/30 The Sympathetic Savior
7/7 The Light of the World
7/14 The Good Shepherd Starting May 12th!
