Lazaroo – Sunday, September 16, 2012
No comments, Sep 16, 2012
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with utter abandon:
“He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught…”
(Titus 1:9)
That’s the huge qualifier, isn’t it, Jesus?
“…as it has been taught.”
A lot of people use the Bible for their own ends
looking for passages that prove their point
advance their personal agendas.
If the Bible quotation they discover needs to be twisted just a bit
or taken totally out of context
in order to fit their preconceived notion
well…a false teacher’s gotta do what a false teacher’s gotta do.
Anything to manipulate others
power up on people
keep those donations rolling in.
Of course, I would never do such a thing
Would I.
I mean, I just let the Scriptures speak for themselves…
don’t I?
If I run across a passage that shows I’m in the wrong
disproves my point
I immediately humble myself and change my position – right?
Right?
