04/28/26 IT IS NOT ALWAYS A GAME
"Tell Me Without Telling Me..."
(I am not talking about the game.)
I did not realize there is an actual game by this name until I started this post. The game is played with a variety of categories and subject cards.
Just a WARNING... It appears that some of the editions are rated for ADULTS, which is often a euphemism for "unfit material for Christians."
I have seen the phrase "tell me without telling me" many times on social media. For instance, if someone said, "The Red Wings won the World Cup by two touchdowns," another person would comment with, "Tell me without telling me you don't know anything about Sports."
As I observe our society, and especially folks who claim to be Christians, I have thought, "Tell me without telling me that you don't know the Bible," or "Tell me without telling me that you do not have a vision," or Tell me without telling me that you are not actually saved," or "Tell me without telling me that you are not filled with the purifying presence of the Holy Spirit, or "Tell me without telling me that you are still living in Laodicea," or "Tell me without telling me that you are more committed to your Political Party than you are to the Kingdom of God."
Well, this gives you an idea of what I am thinking.
Make certain that you are the real you that God wants you to be. Make certain that your inner man is conformed to the image of Jesus.
GOD'S SEARCHLIGHT
Psalms 139:23-24
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts;
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.
HIS TRANSFORMING LIGHT IN ME
2 Peter 1:2-11
2 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord;
3 seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue;
4 whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.
5 Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in your virtue knowledge;
6 and in your knowledge self-control; and in your self-control patience; and in your patience godliness;
7 and in your godliness brotherly kindness; and in your brotherly kindness love.
8 For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful unto the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 For he that lacketh these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
10 Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never stumble:
11 for thus shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
