Just because a
particular person said it doesn’t mean it’s true or not true.
We tend to
classify people, and base our judgment on what they say according to where they fit
on our classification. While there may be good reason to either doubt the
person or trust what they say based on their reputation, truth is not defined
by who says it.
Truth is truth regardless of who says it.
That puts us in the
place of having to bypass the truth-judging based on people’s talk.
We need a more
sure word.
That’s where the
brilliance of God comes in. He had stuff written down. Stuff he wants us to
know. And he has kept those writings intact to this day, thousands of years
after the fact. And it’s in our language. That means we can read what God had written
3,000 years ago through Moses, for example.
Wow.
Point is, just
because this preacher or that teacher says something does not make it ‘gospel’
or make it error. What makes it so is the sure word of the God. And we have it.
Now then, since we
have this word from God himself, let’s use it. Makes sense, ya? Read it.
Regularly. Over and over, never quitting on it. If God’s wisdom is there, where
on Earth else are we going to go, and why?
Take your Bible
and read it. Please. selah
Shalom
