Today’s Thought “What Saith Thee?” G. Ward

“And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to infants in Christ. I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men? For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not mere men?” 1 Corinthians 3:1-4

There’s a strong compelling from ministers that feels it necessary to insert great quotes during their discourse each week. Although there’s nothing wrong with this kind of incitation, it should not be at his insistence as he contemplates his eloquence portrayed. How dare any of us utilize vain philosophy to portray Holy God’s word unto man? It’s the very thing that stagnates our congregants in their seeking to be heard from a standpoint of what “Bishop” had to say vs. what Holy God desires to say unto them (personally). Just in case you don’t know, it sounds very cultic when any are known for their exacerbations in what their minister has said. After all, his personal ambassadorship should delight solely in Holy God’s word. His promulgations are not even his own; so why are you giving him credit (that’s blasphemous!)?

Happy Wednesday!
