Without Wax | Ernie's Musings

Without Wax | Ernie's Musings

Thou art the potter; I am the clay.
That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence til the day of Christ. (Philippians 1:10)

The world offers us a multiplicity of distractions to keep our focus off of what should be our first priority – “the kingdom of God, and his righteousness” (Matthew 6:33).  In his salutation to the church at Philippi, Paul encourages the believers, and us, that our “love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment” (v. 9).  “Knowledge” here is the Greek compound word epígnosis: epí means “on” or “over” or “on the basis of;” gnosis means “wisdom.”
