Do You Know The Bible But Miss Its Heart?

"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cu**in, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.”

MATTHEW 23:23 KJV


PONDER THIS
The Pharisees had heads full of Scripture but hearts full of sin. They had religion, but they didn’t have reality. They had laws, but they didn’t have life. Oh, they were careful all right. They would dot every i and cross every t, but they didn’t understand Christ. They did not have the love of the Lord Jesus Christ in their hearts. Legalism is not the answer.

I am a Bible-believing Christian. I believe all of the Bible. I believe it is absolutely true. I believe all Scripture is given by the inspiration of God, but I am not a legalist. I pray to God that He will save me and you from the loveless leaven of legalism. Legalism is not what our world needs today. The Bible is a wonderful sword, but it is a terrible club.

How do you relate to the Pharisees?

Where are you prone to legalism?

What is dangerous about legalism?

How does it cause us to miss Jesus?

PRACTICE THIS
Discuss with a brother or sister in Christ what it looks like to walk in step with Christ instead of walking in legalism.

Scripture From
Pastor Mike Vickery

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal! And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing! And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing! Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things! Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away! For we know in part, and we p!
rophesy in part! But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away! When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things! For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known! And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity!!!
1 Corinthians 13:1-13

A Devotional From
Pastor Mike Vickery’s Wife Lisa

What's Really Guiding Your Mind Today?

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

HEBREWS 4:12 KJV


PONDER THIS
Not only did we need to be saved in the past, but we also need to be saved in the present from the power of sin, and we will be saved in the future from the possibility of sin. But that day is not here yet. Only the truths found in the Word of God can save our souls. The Greek word for soul is psyche. That’s what the soul is, the psyche—your mind, your emotions, and your will. When your mind, your emotions, and your will are guided by the Word of God, then you’re living in the victory of Christ’s salvation.

The thing that keeps me going is not primarily how I feel. It is what I know from the Word of God. I’ve been on the trail long enough to look back and analyze and consider, “What is it that keeps me? What is it that holds me?” It is the Word of God. His sanctifies us through His Word. His Word is truth.

How has the Word of God changed your life?

What is your rhythm for staying in the Word of God?

How might this improve?

PRACTICE THIS
Share with another person today the ways God’s Word has impacted your life.

Scripture From
Pastor Mike Vickery

Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart! But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped! For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked! For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm! They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men! Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment! Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish! They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily! They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth! Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches! When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end! Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction! How ar!
e they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors! So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee! Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand! Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory! Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee! My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever!!!
Psalm 73:1-9,12,16-19,22-26

A Devotional From
Pastor Mike Vickery’s Wife Lisa

You Can Trust GOD With What You're Carrying!

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

PROVERBS 3:5-6


PONDER THIS
There was a river that had frozen over, and there was a man who decided he would walk across the ice. He didn’t see anyone else out there but decided to move forward. As he got farther out, he became more nervous. Out of caution, he decided to crawl and then squirm across the river. Growing more anxious still, he began to cry and then he heard a cracking sound. He thought he was a goner, but as the noise got closer, the ice didn’t seem to be breaking. He looked up and saw a man with a team of horses with a wagon loaded with logs driving across that river. When he realized that was the noise he had heard, he brushed the ice off and strolled across the rest of the river with confidence.

What was the difference between these two men? One knew the ice and the other did not. Where does faith come from? It comes from a knowledge of God. Those who believe in God will not be ashamed. Do you want to have a strong faith? Don’t try to make yourself believe. Get to know God.

How has knowing someone well helped you trust him more?
What are some things you are carrying because you’ve had a hard time trusting God to carry them for you?
PRACTICE THIS
Take some extra time in the Word to learn more about God and His promises today.

Scripture From
Pastor Mike Vickery

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want! He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters! He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake! Yea, though I walk through the valley of the ?shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me! Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over! Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever!!!
Psalm 23:1-6
