$20 Bills

I was thinking about how an inspector learns the difference between counterfeit $20 bills and the real thing. The inspector handles hundreds of real $20 bills—holding them, smelling them, feeling the texture (are they rough or smooth), how crunchy is the paper, the weight . . . etc.; so when a fake comes along it just pops out!

So too when we handle the WORD of God. Many people use scriptures out of context and incorrectly. How is one to know real scripture meanings?

2 Timothy 2:15   

(AMP)

Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God

Approved

(tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed,

[not ashamed to make mistakes while in training]

correctly analyzing and accurately dividing

[rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth!
