Corner
Bringing Clarity
to Confusion
By Pastor Asa Dockery
Hosea 4 : 6, My people
are destroyed for lack of
knowledge. -NKJV
2 Corinthians 10:3-5,
For though we walk in
the flesh, we do not war
according to the flesh.
For the weapons of our
warfare are not carnal but
mighty in God for pulling
down strongholds, cast
ing down arguments and
every high thing that ex
alts itself against the
knowledge of God, bring
ing every thought into
captivity to the obedience
of Christ... -NKJV
If you are a believer in
Christ, it is imperative
that you become a disci
ple of His teachings. As
we learn from the verses
above, the enemy will fry
to pull us away from the
life that is contained in
God’s word that he might
destroy our lives. Jesus
tells us in John 17 : 3,
eternal life is to know the
true God and Jesus
Christ, whom God sent
into the world.
The only way we can
know God, and Jesus is
through His written word.
One of the functions of
the Holy Spirit is to re
veal and confirm the truth

Simplicity
“But godliness with
contentment is great gain.
For we brought nothing into
the world, and we can take
nothing out of it. But if we
have food and clothing, we
will be content with that. ”
1 Timothy 6:6-8 NIV
W hen reduced to its bare elements, life
is really quite simple, and yet we
often make it complicated. We need
food and water to live, and not much more,
other than perhaps a roof over our head and
a few items of clothing. Have you ever looked
around your house and asked of everything
there whether you could live without it? Most
of us could probably get rid of ninety percent
of the stuff in our house and be just fine
without it. In fact, we might find a huge
burden lifted from us by giving it all away. As
Mother Teresa said, “The less we have, the
more we can give. The more we have, the less
we give. There are no complications, and yet
we complicate our lives so much, by so many
additions.” Likewise, in the ethical and
spiritual realm, we tend to complicate things,
when it’s really quite simple: love God and
love your neighbor. We sometimes use the
word “simple” pejoratively, suggesting that
someone who is simple is a bit dull, but
perhaps we fail to realize that even the
“simplest” among us can fulfill the
requirements of being a good and godly
person. And it may be that there is a special
place in God’s heart for these simple souls.
