Today’s Thought “Prefacing In Humility” G. Ward

“For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.” Romans 12:3

 

Many are with questions on what the Word of God says; with strong critique on very few who profess knowing Christ as the kind of exemplary leadership worthy to follow. Unfortunately, as many regular attendees of corporate worship hear these castigations there is a general offense to such talk. Jesus Christ on the other hand encountered no less for the entirety of His life in the earth and sought declaring (with utter clarity) a more authoritative instruction (cf. Eph.5:1-2).

Success in disseminating Truth is yet mysterious to unbelievers, but for believers who maintain implicit trust unto Holy God’s standard, there’s a preparation without pretense of that same code emanating from them. Therefore, being offended is never optional, but proper appropriation unto God’s word a must; for the believer first, then whoever desires following Christ thereafter.

Happy Thursday!
