Contemplative Bible Reading

1 Timothy 1:6 (New Living Translation)

But some people have missed this whole point. They have turned away from these things and spend their time in meaningless discussions.

What was the point? See yesterday’s post. Today…people have turned away from love and put all their energies into meaningless discussions. “Let’s try to figure out what year Job lived. I don’t think you really know that, and that ignorance denies your faith in God, so…”

Really? Do you have a lot of time? Because you will need a lot of time to discuss all the things I don’t know. A few lifetimes worth of time, as there are A LOT OF THINGS I don’t know.

Is that a good use of time? I doubt it.

Let’s reset. Stop. Breathe. Look around the room. See all those people? They are all loved by God. What is my feeling towards them? Ah, something worthwhile that I can spend my time. God, help me to keep on point.
