So many people think they are “defenders of the faith”, when really they are just reactionaries for their opinion.

Just sayin…

Have you ever studied outside of your own denomination? Do you look up words in Greek and Hebrew in their sentence context? Are you taking the time to study what the early church believed? Do you react by throwing scriptures at someone when they present you with a verse you don’t understand, thinking that is somehow going to influence them? Are you humble and teachable so that your denomination or favorite TV preacher isn’t replacing the Holy Spirit?

It is ok to be wrong. I have been often. But the need to be right should be replaced by the confidence that you are righteous. The fear of losing friends, church relationships, money or speaking engagements should be replaced with the confidence that God loves you. After all… theology IS the study of God not a business or system of religious ideas.
