The Fouth Pillar

 By Toon Meyer
The Vine Teachings is based on four key scriptures, or what we like to call the four pillars of our ministry. The Last Pillar is Hosea 4:6a (My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge;).

In our current age there seems to be a race for knowledge and greater understanding. Yet with all the knowledge that we have today, we are still not content. Our lives have changed into a constant challenge to keep up with the advances of our time. Unfortunately the result of this race for knowledge is the loss of many moral standards and important values in our life.

In many people’s lives the priorities have changed from God and family first to work, wealth and status first. The Bible teaches us that the beginning of knowledge is to fear God. So many people have turned their back on God believing
that they are making an informed or knowledgeable decision.

Thus it is clear that even though we are racing to gain more knowledge we are moving in the wrong direction; and the consequences of our decisions have left us with a society that is ruled by crime, unrighteous practices and injustice.

We need to turn back to God and find our wisdom and knowledge from His word; else we are heading for destruction!
