As I reflected upon the results of this survey I was reminded of the following words of Christ.
Matthew 6:21
“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
If you want to know the true value a person places upon something, do not listen to their claims,
instead observe their actions. The person making the loudest and boldest declaration of their love
and reverence for the Bible may in fact spend very little time reading and meditating upon the
Scriptures. Yahweh sees beyond the boasting of man’s speech. As the saying goes, “The road to hell
is paved with good intentions.” Intentions are not actions.
When Christ addressed the churches of Asia Minor in the opening chapters of Revelation, He began
His comments with the repeated statement, “I know your deeds.”
Revelation 2:1-2
To the angel of the church in Ephesus write... “I know your deeds...”
Revelation 2:18-19
"And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write... “I know your deeds...”
Revelation 3:1
And to the angel of the church in Sardis write... “I know your deeds...”
Revelation 3:7-8
And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write... “I know your deeds.”
Revelation 3:14-15
And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write... “I know your deeds...”
To the church in America Yahshua will judge no differently. He will not judge the church in
America, or any other nation, on its confession. He will judge them on their deeds. When Yahshua
reveals that which His people deemed to be valuable, He will look at where they focused their time
and attention.
Some years back an e-mail began circulating that posed the question, “What if we began to treat our
Bibles the way we treat our cell phones?” This was followed by additional questions.
• What if we carried it with us everywhere?
• What if we turned back to get it if we forgot it?
• What if we checked it for messages throughout the day?
• What if we used it in case of an emergency?
• What if we spent an hour or more using it each day?
