Hebrews 13:9

 

⁹Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings. It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace, not by ceremonial foods, which are of no value to those who eat them.

 

The first sentence carries so much weight in today’s world. Strange teachings, they are everywhere, not just in the spiritual, but in the natural world as well. We are being assaulted daily with all types of new ideas, and new teachings. To say they are strange is an understatement. I am not suggesting that we should be sedentary in our lives. There is always a better way to do something, there is always a better mouse trap to be built, however we have to make it a point to hold on to our values, and our morals. It is not uncommon today to hear people start their phrases off with, well I believe that the Lord meant…… when he said …..we have to be vigilant in the way we take in new information. The will of God will never contradict the written word of God. Never has in the past, and it will not happen in the future. This can be applied to every aspect of your life. If you want to do some fact checking there is always one place you can go, one place you can always trust. You know the answer, the Bible. If you are worried about translations, then go download a version that has the original text right next to it, read it for yourself. We will be told often that we can do this , or we should not do that, let us all remember that we are saved by grace, not our deeds or works. It is by the grace of God that we are forgiven, it is through the blood of Christ that we have access to the Lord. Let us all use Their teachings as a guide, and leave the teachings of the natural where they belong…..with the dead.

 

God bless,
