Word of GOD or world of vanity?
“For
ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven” (Psalm 119:89).
“For
the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God” (1 Corinthians 3:19).
“The
thought of foolishness is sin:” (Proverbs 24:9).
We
live in a world where the blockbuster movies of the day are based on children’s
comic books; movie, music sports and other celebrities are worshipped as gods; the
word mega is used as a prefix to symbolize a pinnacle of success: mega billionaire,
mega yacht, mega church and so on; awards shows with an emphasis on fashion
hits and misses; world records in just about everything; and the list goes on.
“Vanity
of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity” (Ecclesiastes 12:8).
“Whosoever
therefore will be a friend of the world is an enemy of God” (James 4:4).
“Love
not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the
world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the
lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of
the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof:
but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever” (1 John 2:15–17).
“And
be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your
mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of
God” (Romans 12:2).
“Seek
ye out of the book of the LORD, and read” (Isaiah 34:16).
Jesus
says: “It is written, that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word
of God” (Luke 4:4).
“Heaven
and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35).
“Wherefore
lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with
meekness the engrafted [WORD], which is able to [SAVE YOUR SOULS]” (James
1:21).
“Man
is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away” (Psalm 144:4).
“The
grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for
ever” (Isaiah 40:8).
“For
ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven” (Psalm 119:89).
