They have a form of godliness...looks good on paper.
Looks awful good in person, in speech, in action, in song.
But their lives deny the power of God.
Have nothing to do with such people. That's II Timothy 3:5.
They act religious but reject the Power that could make them godly.
What happened to this king?
What happened to those we know who veer off?
"The gold becomes dim..."
King Joash appears more zealous to repair the Temple,
Than his father, Jehoida.
A form of godliness.
This pious pristine prince murders his son in a fit of rage.
The prophets try to bring him back. II Chron 24:19.
Be careful who you surround yourself with.
"They made obeidance to King Joash." II Chron 24:17.
The King who murdered his very own son.
A form of godliness denying the Power.
O God, what about my own life?
Where do I hold a form of godliness with no power?
Thank you for prophets and prayer and peace.
PRAYER FROM PSALMS
Psalm 34:14
O God, help me.
Turn from evil.
Do good.
Seek peace.
Pursue it.
Help me to see the forms of godliness,
with no power in my own life.
