DAILY?READINGS: Judges 8; Isaiah 29; 1 Corinthians 8
Admonish the disorderly. 1 Thessalonians 5:14 (Darby)
The word “disorderly” comes from the Greek word ataktos which is a military word indicating those who are out of order, out of step, not following orders, not keeping rank, causing disturbance. These are self-governed individuals who call themselves Christians as long as they can do whatever they want. They march to their own cadence and don’t like taking orders or being directed. To them Christ is only a “get-out-of-jail-free” card. Friend, if you resent the idea of obeying the Lord and submitting every area of your life to Him, then you have a serious problem. God will have order in His household. —Carl Knott
Now I’ve given to Jesus everything,
Now I gladly own Him as my King,
Now my raptured soul can only sing of Calvary! —W. R. Newell
