A stream does not run both bitter and sweet waters. One should study to show themselves approved in any discipline and should not resist tutelage or correction. Inspiration is not understanding and nor is it study but it might be the inspiration to study something or share something but it is not study or understanding. But, who is really paying attention anyway so long as you have the right shoes on? It is good to read the whole chapter. It is also good to read the whole book. A bible study does not allow someone the right to claim authority as a teacher although they might have the gift. Having listeners is an entirely separate issue and no one doubts the sincerity with which one may open their mouth. This does not mean that the blind is leading the blind or that listeners are taken up with a spectacle because someone did say this about a Jim Jones. I saw a snippet about him on discovery channel once. He was infamous with a large following. In fact, I mean to say he was famous in many aspects. He came out of the world and was separate, some say although his story is quite sad in the end. Who was he serving in his private life, although separate, as contrasted with his public life? Did he show moderation in all things? It was not consistent with Matthew 6, John 6:29 or Mark 2:27-28. But it does say go out into the world and preach. Light does not run from darkness. Salt has its affect as a preservative. So long as there is salt and light, there is time to show appreciation for the beautiful creation. Take a picture of the sunset with your 16 megapixel waterproof camera. I am going to go and watch Star Trek; the borg protocol. The borg cautions everyone who is unconverted to their way of life that resisting the borg is futile. I am going to watch it on my old GSM phone. I shook the phone long enough, held it to the sun, requested the best software update possible and now I can watch streaming video anywhere I go. It is a miracle; amazing! But no miracle beats the power to forgive those in your past or present who you feel may owe you some form of forbearance and apology. That miracle is truly the greatest and it never ceases to amaze. Google forgiveness and read a testimony.
