Psalm 1
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Jesus from heaven gave ministers to the church for the following purpose:
Ephesians 4
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into HIM in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
That we no longer be driven by doctrines of men, tossed about by every wind of doctrine.

Colossians 1
22 In the body of HIS flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in HIS sight:
23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
Colossians 2
(God spoke to me in 1975 and gave me truth and I agreed with what God said.)
7 Rooted and built up in HIM, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

(And believing the Bible is the Word of God, I began reading the Bible and conforming my way to various scriptures, doing the Word of God.)
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

(When the words of men was opposite to what I read in the Bible, I rejected the teaching of those men and clung to that which I read in the Bible, going in the way of the Bible.)
9 For in HIM (The Word) dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete in HIM (in the Word), which is the head of all principality and power:
