Instruction or Sinstruction?

                                             “There is a way that appears to be right,

    but in the end it leads to death.”

Proverbs 14:12

 

Wise counsel is good.

It is advised in scripture.

Of course the operative word is that we seek ‘wise’ counsel.

Follow after those who can lead you into godliness.

There are many, many, many voices in the world.

But even some of those who are well intentioned may lead you astray.

Choose your mentors prayerfully.

Do not follow after every popular voice du-jour.

Are you faithfully attending and serving in a local church?

That is the first place to receive from God.

“So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.” Ephesians 4:11-12

God has given us leaders to guide and instruct us, as you just read above,

“...so that the body of Christ may be built up.”

Follow those who follow Christ and receive instruction.

Follow those who pursue their own agendas and receive sinstruction.
