"Knowledge Shall Increase"
Contributed by Dwight Davis on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: This sermon takes a look at the spiritually detrimental effects of some modern technological "advancements."
I’m going to have to use that age old expression; “Stop and smell the roses.” We are so focused on what has to be done that we seldom allow anything else to enter into our thoughts. Friends, God is speaking volumes to us from every conceivable angle; He is whispering to us through the pines, He sings to us in the melodious voice of a bluebird, and comforts us by the sound of a babbling brook.
You see, God is reaching out to us in many different ways, but, as Paul tells us in 2Corinthians 4:4; “The god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”
Satan constantly bombards us with any and everything in order to keep us from investing that time by stopping and listening to what God is trying to tell us. And just what is the Lord trying so desperately to tell us? Well, He is trying to tell us to “be still and know the I am God (and I love you). Not only that, He is inviting us to “come to Me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Yes, knowledge has increased, and this knowledge isn’t necessarily “bad” or “evil,” but the bible says in Proverbs 1:7 that; “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge........” And this kind of knowledge, my friend, may not get you faster access to the Internet......but it will give you unlimited access to the Throne of Grace and to the One who formed you with his own hand, breathed the breath of life into your nostrils, and wants more than anything to “get to know you a little better.”
Won’t you decide right now to make time for the Best Friend that you will ever have? Not only on Sabbath and when you pray and have your bible study, but all the time. The evidence of God’s love for you and me continuously surrounds us in full panoramic display, let’s learn to “be still” long enough to see it, and quiet enough to hear it.
