🚨🗣️ British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has called for Fifa president Gianni Infantino to step down ride to his World Cup sale plans.

"The idea that it could even be brought forward, in my view, shows that the FIFA general secretary is the wrong man to lead the organisation."

[The married man @marriedmn]

One of the easiest ways to know a woman is ready for marriage…

Watch how she treats people she doesn’t need.

-The waiter.
-The cleaner.
-The security guard.
-The old neighbour.

Kindness isn’t something you switch on after the wedding.

It’s already part of your character, if she is not kind while you are still dating she will never be kind married.

Drop her.

The idea of opening the door to private capital has led UEFA to make a move. The bid for the next World Cup could collapse. Morocco, for the moment, have not commented.

🚨🚨 NOW LIVE 🚨🚨

VerseQuest Exclusive Series:
One Body - Many Members

Our brand-new 32-part KJV Bible study series is now live on the VerseQuest webshop. This series walks through 1 Corinthians 12 and Ephesians 4 in a way most studies never touch, member by member, function by function, showing how the body of Christ is not a religious stage for stars, but a living body under one Head: the Lord Jesus Christ.

We cover the eyes, ears, mouth, tongue, hands, feet, heart, lungs, blood, bones, joints, knees, mind, scars, feeble members, uncomely parts, and more, showing how every member has a God-given place, function, and purpose. No member is everything. No faithful member is nothing. The visible need the hidden. The strong need the weak. The mouth needs the heart. The bones need the blood. And the whole body grows when every part does its work and edifies itself in love.

This series is doctrinal, practical, convicting, and deeply needed. It rebukes pride, envy, comparison, celebrity Christianity, prayerless activity, careless speech, doctrinal weakness, and the neglect of hidden or feeble members. It also honors the servants nobody sees, the saints who keep praying, the wounded who keep standing, and the members God calls necessary.

Now available as a VerseQuest exclusive PDF study.

THE SERPENT LIKES AN UNKEPT YARD

How Spiritual Neglect Gives the Devil Cover—and Endangers Everyone Living Nearby

“Neither give place to the devil.” — Ephesians 4:27

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” — 1 Peter 5:8

Introduction

Living in North Florida teaches a man certain lessons that somebody sitting in a climate-controlled apartment forty floors above the pavement may never have to learn. Down here, wildlife is not something you see only in a documentary while a polished narrator whispers over dramatic music. It is in the woods, in the canals, beneath the brush, beside the lakes, crossing the highways, and occasionally wandering into somebody’s yard as though it had received a change-of-address card. We have alligators, black bears, coyotes, wildcats, venomous snakes, scorpions, black widow spiders, and enough crawling, slithering, biting creatures to remind a man that Genesis 3 was not written as a fairy tale. Thank God, most days we do not see much of it. We go about our business, mow the grass, trim the shrubs, pull the weeds, and live our lives without a bear sitting on the porch or a rattlesnake ringing the doorbell. But the fact that you do not see a danger every day does not mean the danger has taken early retirement. A wise homeowner understands that vigilance is not paranoia. Vigilance is simply respecting reality before reality puts its fangs into your ankle.

Not long ago, one of our neighbors told us something about our house from before we owned it. The previous occupants apparently did not maintain the property very well. They would let the grass grow unusually high and mow it only every several weeks. On top of that, there was a leaking sprinkler head that continually left water around the property. A service technician who was working near the house reportedly found a rattlesnake coiled around one of the corners. That will get your attention. The snake did not choose the property because it appreciated the architecture. It did not stop by to compliment the paint. The yard had given it what snakes like: cover to hide in and water to drink. Tall grass concealed it, neglect protected it, and the leaking sprinkler refreshed it. The conditions did not manufacture the serpent, but they gave the serpent a comfortable place to remain. That is worth remembering because the same principle operates in the spiritual life. The devil does not need a Christian to create him, invite him formally, or send him an engraved invitation. He is already “walking about.” But careless Christians can provide him with cover, opportunity, access, and a comfortable corner from which to strike.

The Lord Jesus Christ constantly used the visible world to explain invisible truth. He spoke about seeds, soil, vineyards, sheep, wolves, doors, lamps, leaven, fish, birds, trees, weather, houses, foundations, weddings, coins, servants, fields, and harvests. He could take a farmer scattering seed and uncover the condition of the human heart. He could take a shepherd searching for one lost sheep and display the seeking love of God. He could point to lilies and birds and expose the folly of anxiety. Therefore, I make no apology for looking at an overgrown Florida yard, a leaking sprinkler, and a rattlesnake and seeing a sermon standing there with its fangs out. The Christian life requires more than screaming when the snake appears. It requires keeping the property in order before the serpent finds a place to hide. It requires more than resisting the devil during the obvious attack. It requires refusing to cultivate the conditions in which his work flourishes. The great lesson is this: the serpent likes an unkept yard, and spiritual neglect never stays confined to the person doing the neglect.

When Charisma Covers Corrupt Character

Key Passage: 2 Corinthians 7:2

“Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.”
2 Corinthians 7:2

Introduction

Charisma can fill a building while character empties a ministry of everything holy. A man may possess a voice that rolls through an auditorium like thunder, a personality that makes strangers feel like lifelong friends, and enough natural magnetism to convince a crowd that every thought passing through his head deserves immediate publication. He may remember names, tell stories, move emotions, raise money, gather followers, and produce growth charts capable of making a business consultant speak in tongues. None of that proves the man is clean. Talent is a gift; character is a government. Talent shows what a man can do before people, while character reveals what rules him when people are gone. Samson could tear a lion apart and still could not control his appetite. Saul stood head and shoulders above Israel and remained spiritually smaller than the shepherd boy he envied. Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel while rebellion fermented beneath his handsome appearance. The Bible has never confused impressive ability with divine approval. Religious crowds do that because crowds are easily impressed by the wrapping paper and rarely ask what is rotting inside the package.

Paul offered the Corinthians a better test. He did not say, “Receive us because our meetings are large, our personalities are powerful, our gifts are unusual, and our enemies are jealous.” He said, “We have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.” Paul placed conduct, influence, and financial integrity upon the examination table. Did his ministry leave injured people behind? No. Did it morally or doctrinally corrupt the saints? No. Did it use religion to reach into their pockets? No. That threefold testimony is worth more than a thousand promotional videos. A preacher may possess gifted speech and still wrong people. He may preach orthodox words and privately corrupt vulnerable souls. He may build a respected institution while quietly defrauding those who trust him. The larger the platform becomes, the easier it is for admirers to treat honest questions like attacks against God. Before long, accountability is called rebellion, transparency is called distrust, and the leader’s preferences are preached with the authority of the Ten Commandments. Charisma becomes dangerous when people begin mistaking the glow around the messenger for the glory belonging to the message.

This essay is not an attack upon gifted men, growing churches, forceful preaching, or visible success. God gives abilities, opens doors, gathers people, and blesses faithful labour. Paul himself spoke boldly, reasoned powerfully, planted churches, trained workers, and influenced generations. The problem is not charisma; the problem is charisma used as camouflage. A strong gift in a clean vessel can serve Christ mightily. A strong gift in a corrupt vessel merely enables corruption to travel farther. The question is not whether a minister is compelling, popular, confident, successful, educated, entertaining, or widely admired. The question is whether he can stand beneath the light of Scripture and say with Paul, “We have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.” God never gave talent as a substitute for holiness, and no amount of applause can turn hidden uncleanness into an anointing.

Chapter One

Charisma Attracts What Character Must Carry

Charisma attracts attention, but character determines what happens after attention arrives. A gifted communicator may bring people through the door, but only truth, integrity, and spiritual maturity can serve them without exploiting them. Natural magnetism can create emotional connection before any real trust has been earned. People feel as though they know the leader because he speaks warmly, tells

[PaulsCorner-VerseQuest @TNTJohn1717]

🚨‼️The body of Christ was never designed to be a stage for stars. It was never meant to be a religious talent show where the mouth gets the microphone, the face gets the spotlight, the hands do the labor, and the feeble members get pushed into the back corner like old furniture. Paul said, “But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.” That one verse is a crowbar under the whole rotten floorboard of Christian pride. God set the members. Not the preacher. Not the platform. Not the denomination. Not the online crowd. Not the applause meter. God did it.

That means the quiet saint matters. The praying widow matters. The struggling brother matters. The young believer asking simple questions matters. The elderly saint who cannot do what he used to do matters. The hidden servant cleaning up while everybody else is shaking hands matters. The wounded member still standing after betrayal, grief, and battle matters. The feeble member you barely notice may be teaching the whole body patience, mercy, humility, and charity while the gifted member is still polishing his sermon title. God has a strange way of putting more honor where men put less attention.

Modern Christianity has nearly lost this because it has swallowed the world’s measuring stick and then wrote “ministry” on the side of it. If a man can speak well, sing well, raise money, build a following, take a good photo, or gather a crowd, people assume he is vital. But Paul said the members that seem to be more feeble are necessary. Necessary. That word should slap the pride out of every celebrity-minded Christian in the room. The body does not live by platform. It lives by Christ. The blood flows through the hidden parts too.

So before you look down on a member because he is not visible, useful by your standards, gifted like you, strong like you, or polished like you, remember this: Christ bought him with the same blood that bought you. The body needs the eye, but the eye is not the body. The body needs the mouth, but the mouth is not the Head. The body needs the strong, but the strong need the weak more than they know. No member is everything. No faithful member is nothing. And the healthiest body is the one where Christ gets the preeminence and every member does its part in love.

Your husband is the only person who ever loved you purely by choice.

Your family was already written into your story.

Parents loved you because you were theirs.

Siblings stayed because you shared blood.

Even your child is there because you’re the mother.

But your husband walked in as a complete stranger.

No obligation.
No duty.
No shared past.

He could have built a life with anyone else.

Yet he chose you.

Chose to grow old with you.

Chose to call you home.

That kind of love is never automatic.

It is a daily, deliberate decision to stay, especially when it’s hard.

So never forget to thank the man who still chooses you every single day.

[Jeremiah Knight @iamrjknight]

Many imagine the judgment of God only in visible disasters such as earthquakes, famine, disease, and fire. Those judgments are terrible, but Scripture reveals something even more frightening: God may judge people by withdrawing His restraint and allowing them to pursue the corruption they have chosen.

“Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity” (Romans 1:24).

Romans 1 repeats this dreadful sentence three times. Humanity rejects the truth, worships created things, dishonours the body, and refuses to acknowledge God. Then God hands sinners over to the desires they insisted upon having.

“For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions” (Romans 1:26).

“And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper” (Romans 1:28).

This does not mean that God forces innocent people into evil. He removes restraints and allows rebels to become increasingly governed by the sinful desires they already love. The punishment is not merely what comes after the sin. The growing slavery to sin is itself part of the punishment.

“But My people did not listen to My voice, and Israel did not obey Me. So I gave them over to the stubbornness of their heart, to walk in their own devices” (Psalm 81:11-12).

When this judgment deepens, the conscience grows dull, shame disappears, truth becomes offensive, and evil is no longer merely practised but openly celebrated. People become convinced that their rebellion is wisdom and their bondage is freedom.

“For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness” (2 Thessalonians 2:11-12).

A nation may still possess wealth, technology, entertainment, and outward stability while already experiencing divine wrath. The absence of visible catastrophe does not prove divine approval. Sometimes the clearest evidence of judgment is that people can no longer recognise what should make them ashamed.

“So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way and be satiated with their own devices” (Proverbs 1:31).

The most terrifying judgment is not always when the ground opens beneath us. It may be when God allows us to have exactly what our rebellious hearts demanded, and we become too blind to realise that being left to ourselves is itself the judgment.
