I should certainly know better by now than to think I can predict what the next post is to be… Especially since God prefers we live in His moments, over ours. Even to the extent that a chirping smoke detector overrules the thoughtfully set alarm from the evening prior.. merlin
“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.” Colossians 2:8
Christians who believe biblical truths are skeptical about hundreds of other truth-claims.
Secular society – which we often think of as skeptical – is remarkably gullible about falsehoods they ought to reject.
The Bible is unsympathetic to teachings and worldviews that contradicts God’s Words: “If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, they are conceited and understand nothing.” I Timothy 6: 3-4
Why is false doctrine connected with conceit? A proud person elevates self over God, believing he is smarter than God’s Word and can improve on it.
BOTTOM LINE:
“If false, Christianity is not important.
If true, it is of infinite importance.
What it can not be is moderately important.” C.S. Lewis
Oh boy! That last line really does hurt; or convict!
