WHO WAS PHILETUS?
It
is amazing, but true, that if the Holy Spirit had consulted with some of our
brethren today and had followed their advice and wishes, we would have no idea
who Philetus was.
Philetus
was a member of the church in the first century who, along with a man named
Hymenaeus, was propagating the error that the resurrection had already taken
place and, by this error, was overthrowing the faith of some (II Timothy 2:17-18).
If
the Holy Spirit through Paul had used the "don't call names" approach
that we often hear suggested, how many other unsuspecting brethren would have
had their faith overthrown and been lost because of this error? What if the
Holy Spirit had said, "There is some false doctrine that is being taught
about the resurrection, and some brethren are experiencing the overthrow of
their faith, but we will just leave it at that because calling names would just
be too personal and controversial.”
Where
do those who contend for such a thing get such an idea? When error and the
proponents of such are publicly named, we are simply doing what the Scriptures
instruct us to do by command (Romans 16:17) and by example (I Timothy 1:19-20;
II Timothy 2:17-18; III John 9-11) No apology for doing so is
needed.

ADD-ON
OPTIONS
A
local farmer had come to the conclusion that the local car dealer had profited
greatly by all the add-on options that increased the price of cars sold to the
hapless farmer. Then one day the car dealer informed the farmer that he
was coming around to buy a cow. In the spirit of justice, the farmer
attached the following price information to the cow:
Basic
cow $500
Two-tone
exterior $45
Extra
stomach $75
Product storing
compartment $60
Straw
chopper $120
Four spigots at
$10 each, $40
Cowhide
upholstery $125
Dual
horns $15
Automatic fly
swatter $38
Fertilizer
attachment $185
TOTAL:
$1,233.00
Aren't you glad
God doesn't charge us for all the extras He provides us in life? You know
what I mean -- the beautiful sunrise and sunset, the changing color of the
leaves in fall, the glory of the stars at night, the beautiful scenery ranging
from the majestic mountains to the pounding surf of the ocean. How
blessed we are! And not a single penny extra!
"Oh,
give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
For
His mercy endures forever.
Oh,
give thanks to the God of gods!
For
His mercy endures forever.
Oh,
give thanks to the Lord of lords!
For
His mercy endures forever:
Him
who alone does great wonders,
For
His mercy endures forever;
To
Him who by wisdom made the heavens,
For
His mercy endures forever;
To
Him who laid out the earth above the waters,
For
His mercy endures forever;
To
Him who made great lights,
For
His mercy endures forever –
The
sun to rule by day,
For
His mercy endures forever;
The
moon and stars to rule by night,
For
His mercy endures forever."
(Psalm
139:1-9)
As you go
through this day, try to be mindful of each and every blessing you enjoy from
the hand of God. It is so easy to take everything for granted. But,
how richly God has blessed us! Praise and thanksgiving be to our Lord!
Have a great
day!
