Opinions, Opinions You search the scriptures because you thinks that in them you. Have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; and you are unwilling to come to me so that you may have life. John 5: 39,40 It is amazing to me how many people will talk about God on an extended level, but just will not go to Him. We are absolutely run over with Christian philosophers. But how many are really going to God? We are way too familiar with a God we barely know. Im actually finding that the closer I am to The Lord, the less philosophical I am. There is a lot of Christian philosophy that has been handed down through the years and relayed as truth that has moulded peoples thinking and sculpted our lives in contradiction to God. It has skewed and muddled things. I also find that the closer I get to Him, the less opinionated I am...about almost everything. I was asking my son Caleb about churches and his thoughts about going to church. He said, Dad, they are all so opinionated about everything... like against everything that is not their way. I have a hard time with that. Hes right. Theres only One opinion that counts and its not mine. To lose opinion is one of the most freeing things that there is. There are only a few things that I need to judge and those are the things that are trying to make their way into my family. I was once in a dilemma over a teaching that two of my most respected influences were in opposition about. I was torn, they both made sense and I couldnt find a clear cut answer in the Book. So I finally went to The Lord. (Duh)... I said Lord, which one is right? Immediately the answer came... Jesus. Jesus is your doctrine. Funny thing was he never clarified the teaching, but all of the unrest immediately went out. I knew that my trust was to be in Him and if I needed to know that, He would tell me His view on it. I wasnt to judge either of my influences and just let it go. We all prophesy or preach in part.... Jesus is always right. I think if I could summarize what my goal is in all of these efforts it would simply be that everyone that I have any level of influence with would really go to The Lord... Open and often. Thats it. Thats all Im after. It will dramatically change all of our lives, overlapping into all that we touch, I guarantee it. Blessings, Randy
