SCRIPTURE
Luke 14:38 "Stay alert, be in prayer, so you don't enter the danger zone without even knowing it. Don't be naive. Part of you is eager, ready for anything in God; but another part is as lazy as an old dog sleeping by the fire."
OBSERVATION
"Another part is as lazy as an old dog". How true is this! It's a warning and also a conviction. Can't be sleeping when danger is trying to trip me up. Be aware, be prayerful!
APPLICATION
Praying against the flesh of laziness.
PRAYER
"Lord, I'm so thankful for Your Word. Thank You Holy Spirit that You delight in me and open up Your Words to me. God, I pray today that You'll help me to move closer to being prayerful and obedient. Pray God You'll give me the courage to say yes and follow through. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen."

CREED BOOKS? BY STEVE FINNELL
If what is written in creed books is exactly what is penned in the Bible, then, what is the purpose of creed books? The reason to have a creed book is to add or take away from Scripture.
Creed books in most denominations are the final authority when it comes to teaching about faith and practice.
Could the doctrinal positions taken by your denomination be supported by using the Bible and the Bible alone? If not why not?
Proverbs 28:22 5-6 Every word of God is pure; He is a shield of those who put their trust in Him. 6 Do no add to His words, Lest He reprove you, and you be found a liar.
Is every word found in your creed book pure? Creed books do add to God's word. Are you putting your trust in God when you use you creed book as your authority or are you trusting the writers of the creed book?
Revelation 22:18-19 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If any one adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things written in this book.
If your denomination is using modern day creed books of so-called new revelation? Why would you not question that teaching.
Deuteronomy 4:2 "You shall not add to the word which I commanded you, nor take anything from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I commanded you.
God has never left it up to men to write their own commandments. God has not given men the authority to devise their own terms of pardon. GOD HAS NOT CHANGED THE TERMS FOR PARDON UNDER THE NEW COVENANT. THE BIBLE WAS COMPLETED NINETEEN HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
GOD WROTE THE BIBLE. MEN WRITE CREED BOOKS.
(Scripture from: NKJV)
Note: Philip used the Scriptures to teach the Ethiopian eunuch. He did not open a creed book. (Acts 8:35)
