Job 22-24: 1 Corinthians 8

Good Morning Truth Seekers! I want to begin the morning by acknowledging the wonderful job Cindy Winters and the First Baptist Maryville family did in celebrating Pastor Fred Winters' life. It was a send off fitting for the son of a king.

Job 22-24 Eliphaz instructs Job to turn back to God and be at peace with Him. This is an encouraging rebuke to any in the sense that it assures that God will restore us if we repent and follow him. But Job said in 23:11 that he has stayed with God all along. Furthermore at the end of this test he will come forth as gold. I pray that I may boast in righteousness from a more humble offering as a witness to God, not opposing him. But Job stands on it, that he would stand the review against the judgement of God for righteousness. He said that he treasured Gods words more than his daily bread. Go and do likewise.

! Corinthians 8 : I will begin at the end of the chapter; Paul states that we should not do anything that will cause another to stumble spiritually. He contends that the mature shares responsibility for the immature and weak. Whether it be eating food dedicated to idols or whatever. Paul's message is that first; idols are nothing, therefore, eating food dedicatied to them means nothing, but to someone less knowledgeable might not over come our strength displayed on such an occassion. Therefore, do not do anythng that might cause such awe and shock to them.
