Romans 16


Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my co-workers in Christ Jesus. They risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them.

I hope that I can model my marriage after these two as they were a crucial part to Paul's wellbeing such offering hospitality, friendship etc. I just pray that I can stand with God with my own two feet rather relying on someone else to maintain with Him so that we'll be prioritising Him rather than each other. 

17 I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.
Unfortunately, our Western society has accepted the Prosperity Gospel as its recognised religion and labelling truthful scripture as bigoted and outdated. What is essential in our walk with Christ in our thoughts and deeds is setting the scriptures as our highest authority. By reading and studying God's word we are able to discern truthful scripture apart from pagan ideology. Jesus even warned us in Mathew 7:15 "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
