“Do your best to present yourself to God as one
approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles
the word of truth.”
II Timothy 2:15
Have you ever questioned a message you heard on Sunday
morning?
If so, what did it cause you to do?
Did it cause you to question the Pastor’s theology and
call three other people in your church to sow seeds of doubt concerning the
message...or...did it send you to your prayer closet and to the Word to search
out the scriptures?
The Spirit of God has a way of sometimes challenging
our beliefs when those beliefs are founded in tradition rather than His Word.
Those kinds of thoughts and questions on our part are always
good. I am speaking of those thoughts that drive you to His Word and to dig
into it to search out and rightly divide scripture for yourself.
We need to listen, receive and grow through our
continued study of the words spoken to us.
Are you well taught?
If so, I hope you understand that that is a word of
encouragement not only to those who teach and preach but also to those who hear
and receive that teaching too.
It all has to do with what we do with what we are
taught.
Questioning what we are taught in order to better
understand it and to grow from it is always a good thing.
Dig in to the message and let God grow you!
