Know your terms. Truth – Apostate – Antithetical – Heritical
There are some highfalutin words that seem to confound some of us. You don’t have to know it, but if one of these highfalutin words describes you, then God holds you responsible – and as some would put it: “You damned.” I’d recommend knowin’ it. Truth matters.
Know your thinking – Save your future
If you know your thinking, then you can compare what you think – with what God thinks… what He has told us in the Bible. Want to “Save your future”? Know what the Bible is sharing about God.

Distracting Meaningless Things
Turn my eyes away from vanity [all those worldly, meaningless things that distract —let Your priorities be mine], And restore me [with renewed energy] in Your ways. – Psalm 119:37. Lay aside, do away with, strip away, turn your eyes away, pray, confess, submit, run with endurance, run with active persistence, restore.
