A Kingdom Man Follows His Rule Book

A Kingdom Man Follows His Rule Book

You’ve got to be right or wrong. I love the satisfaction when you are right—and the agony when you are wrong. —NFL referee Ed Hochuli, interview with USA Today, October 9, 2007

Quarterback Russell Wilson released a high, arcing Hail Mary pass toward the end zone. Two Seattle Seahawks and four Green Bay Packers leaped to catch it. The crowd landed, the ball somewhere among them. One official signaled touchdown Seahawks. One official signaled interception Packers. The score stood. The Seahawks won. And the third team was the source of great controversy.

The third team? The team of officials, in this case replacements being used during a labor lockout of the real refs. Their commitment and allegiance belong to a different kingdom: the NFL office. Their authority comes from a book that holds the guidelines, rules, and regulations by which they are to manage the events on the field. If an official’s viewpoint leaves the book, he demotes himself to the status of a fan; he becomes illegitimate in terms of authority.

Men, you have received instructions from the League office in heaven. You have been given the Book under the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ. To rule well, to bring order to the chaos in this war called life, you must align your heart and mind with God’s sovereign instruction and guidelines. You must sharpen your ear to the call of your Commissioner. You must hide His Book in your heart to rule well according to His purposes.

Application

1. What are you doing to know your rule Book?

2. How can you restore order to your domain rather than add chaos?

3. How will you align your heart with God’s Word today?

Prayer

Great Commissioner, align my head and heart with Your Word today. Shape me to Your standards and enable me to bring order as Your official. Amen

False Teachers Among Us

2 Peter 2:1,3   But there were false prophets, too, in those days, just as there will be false teacher among you. They will cleverly tell their lies about God, turning against even their Master who bought them; but theirs will be a swift and terrible end. These teachers in their greed will tell you anything to get hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago and their destruction is on the way.   Living Bible Ephesians 5:11-12 11 Take no part in the worthless pleasures of evil and darkness, but instead, rebuke and expose them. 12 It would be shameful even to mention here those pleasures of darkness that the ungodly do.     False Teacher’s - Denominations       Now on another note, there are those that say this Bible is the right Bible and the rest are false and take verses and chapters out of context.     Reviews Bible Versions     Heresy or Heresies     Regarding False Teachers      Everyone’s a False Teacher Except Me     False Teachers Condemned     False Prophecy
