  • A Bible study on time

    God has A LOT to say about time as revealed in this study.  

    Time:

    • Time was created by God; it is not eternal (Gen. 1:1). We are accountable for our time.
    • God recognizes time, but He is outside of time (“everlasting to everlasting”), Ps. 90:2.
    • Time always moves forward; missed opportunities cannot be reclaimed (Eph. 5:16).
    • God has the ability to “speed up time” (Isa. 60:22).
    • God can “shorten time” for mercy (Mt. 24:22).
    • If something seems slow, we need to “wait for it” (Hab. 2:3).
    • Regardless of how long we live, our time is brief (Ps. 144:4 – man is like a “breath”).
    • The way we use our time reveals our heart (Mt. 6:21 – Where your treasure is …”).
    • Time also tests our faith (Lk. 8:13 – some “believed for a while”). Temp faith does not save.
    • Time is also able to reveal our love (Jn. 13:1 – Jesus loved them to the end).
    • Time will often reveal hypocrisy (Mt. 13:21 – when tribulation arises).
    • Time often helps separate emotion from conviction.
    • Part of our time needs to be used for repentance (2 Pet. 3:9). Delays is mercy, not permission.
    • Using time to delay can harden the heart (Heb. 3:15).
    • Spiritual decline can happen with the passing of time (Heb. 2:1).
    • Lamps went out (Mt. 25:8) – readiness must be maintained.
    • People can forget God if enough time passes (Deut. 6:12).
    • Isaiah (55:6) said: Seek the Lord while He can be found; opportunity has an expiration date.
    • There will be a “time for us to die” (Heb. 9:27). The date is unknown but scheduled.
    • Before it is time to die, we suffer for a time. Long roads can built strong saints (Rom. 5:3-4).
    • God uses time to unfold His promises (“the fulness of time”), Gal. 4:4. God is never late.
    • When Jesus came to earth, He lived under time constraints (Jn. 9:4). Urgency part of godliness.
    • God has often worked through waiting (Isa. 40:31 – those who “wait upon the Lord”).
    • Impatience can bring about bad or less than ideal results (1 Sam. 13:11-14).
    • Jesus did not rush things – waited for the appropriate time (Jn. 7:6).
    • God allows people to have time to grow (2 Pet. 3:18).
    • Deity knows time shapes character (“be transformed,” Rom. 12:2). Like compound interest.
    • Time does not cause God to forget unforgiven sins (Isa. 59:12 – sins “testify”).
    • Time also does not cause God to forget what is according to His will (Heb. 6:10).
    • Time warns us old age is coming (Eccl. 12:1). Don’t delay obedience till strength is gone.
    • Many are focused on “tomorrow” – that time may not come – Prov. 27:1 – don’t boast about tomorr.
    • Sin wastes time and a lot of regret has followed “seasons of sin.”
    • Repentance can right a wrong course, but it can never recover lost time.
    • Time magnifies habits (Gal. 6:7-8). Small patterns often become big outcomes.
    • Time can stimulate sin (Heb. 12:15 – root of bitterness).
    • Part of our time needs to be used to adhere to the truth (Acts 17:11). Trends fade; truth remains.
    • Time can help establish credibility (1 Tim. 3:6).
    • God can time the exaltation of people (1 Pet. 5:6).
    • Time is not merely something we spend—it is something God will evaluate
    • If God evaluate our time usage, what would we defend and what would we hide?
    • If our life ended today, would our use of time testify for or against us in God’s sight?

    • Speaking in tongues sounds like crazy talk

      1 Cor 14:22-23

      22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to the unbelieving: but prophesying (is for a sign), not to the unbelieving, but to them that believe.

      23 If therefore the whole church be assembled together and all speak with tongues, and there come in men unlearned or unbelieving, will they not say that ye are mad?
