Scriptures

I sometimes seek the Lord for spiritual direction from HIS word. This morning was no different in the asking. But the sharing was really unclear:1 Timothy all chapters verse 10.........
When you look at each one of these verses...they flow together to tell a story. Women have a combination of gifts and talents; these gifts and talents may not be from the Lord. We have to decide what is right and proper...rightly divide to make sure it is from the Lord. If it is you have to ask the Lord how to apply it.

Chapter 1 verse 10:
...for adulterers and perverts, for slave trades and liars and perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine.
Chapter 2 verse 10:
...but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
Chapter 3 verse 10
...They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons
Chapter 4 verse 10
...(and for this we labor and strive), that we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, and especially of those who believe.
Chapter 5 verse 10
...and is well known for her good deeds, such as bringing up children, showing hospitality, washing the feet of the saints, helping those in trouble and devoting herself to all kinds of of good deeds.
Chapter 6 verse 10
...For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
