Seven Baskets

July 2010

Greetings:
 

            We would like to begin our July installment with a quote from Thomas Jefferson regarding a right understanding of the constitution:  ..."On every question of construction, let us carry ourselves back to the time when the constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates and instead of trying what meaning might be squeezed out of the text or INVENTED against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed." ...
        While I read this quote, I couldn't help but review in my mind the last thirty one years, the years I have known the LORD JESUS as Savior. In that time span, so-called Bible translations have exploded in number as well as confusion. From the Black Bible Chronicles edition to the New, New, New Anything Goes translation(my humor), we now have a stack of bible facsimilies that would make an apostle wince! Sadly, much of this has come about to make money and make some specialty audience happy. This scenario begs the question: Is all this really necessary? The answer, of course, is NO!!
        In past classes, we have often noted that our adversary( the devil) works in two ways: deception and confusion. The main deception, in our day, seems to be in regard to righteousness. That is, to read, understand and obey what the Bible says(reads) about this subject or to invent a man-made righteouness called humanism. It follows that the main confusion centers around the Bible itself and a right understanding of: authority, our CREATOR and the eternal plan in place for mankind(salvation).
        So what does the US Constitution have to do with this? Well, it is not just the constitution but language itself in the form of any written document. Look how much disarray exists with Supreme Court decisions and their subsequent affect on culture and social mores? Confusion is the only word that can describe what is in view before us.
        Sadly, we know this situation is going to get worse. However, just as surely we know that the return of the LORD(rapture) is closer than ever. GOD help me to be faithful in prayer and in my own witness.    
 

SEVEN BASKETS Inc. is a 501(c)(3) para-church, charitable organization. Our group is made up of volunteers from many different local churches. While we are eligible to take donations, we will not actively seek them. We trust the LORD to lay those burdens on individuals as HE will.
