"....To know wisdom and instruction, to perceive the words of understanding, to receive the instruction of wisdom....A wise man will hear increase learning, and a man of understanding will attain wise counsel." (Proverbs 1)
How many of us really take our text seriously, I mean govern our very lives by its profundity? This is not some nice reading poetry. These words are, as Mose said, "your very life."
The following is a threat letter to, well, anyone actually, who isn't Muslim.

The following is a threat letter to, well, anyone actually, who isn't Muslim.
The attack by the Islamic State in America is only the beginning of our efforts to establish a wiliyah [actually wilayah, administrative district] in the heart of our enemy. Our aim was the khanzeer [pig] Pamela Geller and to show her that we don't care what land she hides in or what sky shields her; we will send all our Lions to achieve her slaughter. This will heal the hearts of our brothers and disperse the ones behind her. To those who protect her: this will be your only warning of housing this woman and her circus show. Everyone who houses her events, gives her a platform to spill her filth are legitimate targets. We have been watching closely who was present at this event and the shooter of our brothers. We knew that the target was protected. Our intention was to show how easy we give our lives for the Sake of Allah.
The humanist press as well as many so-called "Conservative" reporters and pundits, just do not know history and are living in National Lampoon's, "Walley World." They are blaming the people who held the gathering in Texas, and not the would-be murderers. Any who follow Jesus will more and more become the target of such debauchery. Yet worse than any ignorance of history and political science, however, is the ignorance of the Word of God. You and I have got to think for ourselves, and stop the discredited practice of "following the crowd," and that just because the "crowd" has some sort of acceptable label. Our text is our "answer."
The same is true for our walk in Jesus. Only a thorough knowledge, which includes daily saturation in the Scriptures, can keep us from deceptive theology, philosophy, and political science. Jesus is, "the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, but by Me." And no one can navigate through life without abiding in Christ and His Words.
Now while this may seem repetitive, well, I guess it is. And so is the Bible. Repetition is how an athlete gets strong and develops his skills. Repetition is how a musician achieves mastery of his instrument. And continual repetition of what Wesley called "The means of grace" is how you and I stay, "strong in the Lord and the power of His might." Deception will only increase in the earth, and its propagators only more sophisticated; therefore, live our text, read and meditate much in the "God-Breathed" Words; "Pray without ceasing." Live the life of, "lost in wonder, love, and praise," and live the Biblical declaration, "You are My witnesses." Then, as Doctor Emmet Brown said to Marty when he told him to follow the instructions precisely, "everything will be okay," aka, "You will get where you need to go."
Father, in Jesus' Name, thank You so much for Holy Spirit, Who daily teaches and empowers me in You. Amen.
