Worship God in Spirit and Truth. Part [1] 05/08/2026 (Morning thought)

John 4:23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him.

On numerous occasions, the phrase “God is A Spirit” has been mentioned on this forum and we probably never took the time to fully explain what we mean. The time has come for a thorough study to be done on the statement, so that it would be made clear to our understanding, because spiritual things are to be spiritually discerned.

We can’t bring the same tools to the study of God’s word that we employ in the secular subjects such as math and science where only finite ways and means are used to draw conclusions. Those may be good in their legitimate sphere, but understanding spiritual things will require much more than that. If we were to use the same methodologies, we will certainly err in interpretations and conclusions, and there will be some things that would be made plain to the spiritually minded person that may baffle the intellect of learned men.

As we study the topic, great light would be shed on our pathway, by enabling us to understand things in the Bible that may seem vague and arbitrary. God is a Spirit, and everything He does in His interactions with us, includes the inner state of the mind, since the thought, motives and purposes always give birth to our overt actions.

John 4: 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Biblical Ways to Handle Sexual allegations. Part [18] 05/08/2026 {Evening thought}

2nd Chronicles 7:13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;

Individuals in our day who, like Joab might cover up sexual misconduct, or who may feel pressured to do so, in other to retain favor with this or that person, are in grave danger of being lost eternally, if there is not a change of heart and practice. It calls upon us all to take a good, hard look at the following statement, in the context of the here and now, and on a personal and national level.

[Education pp 57] The greatest want of the world is the want of men, men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole, men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall.

We therefore end with a passage of Scripture that will help us to understand the grave nature of sin in all of its varied forms and we are reminded that God is now calling us all, on both a personal and national level to repent…. 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

2nd Chronicles 7:15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
