Good Monday morning! We have the opportunity to go out into the world and do good works on this day. Writing about Jesus is fraught with peril. Eh? How can writing about our Lord be perilous to anyone? When writing or speaking about our Lord Jesus, one must be careful to check for agreement with the Word. This can be the Bible, the Word of God, or it can be through the Holy Spirit. Pastor Rogers reminds us this morning that not all ministers have our salvation in mind when they speak or write. I believe that God calls many men and women to minister to us, and that the deceivers are few in number. However, those few can be eagerly listened to; just as the false prophets were eagerly listened to in biblical times. Solomon proved himself wise not by the wisdom that God gave to him, but by the choice he made when God asked him what he wanted most. Solomon asked for discernment, the ability to judge wisely, in all things. As the earthly ruler of God's chosen people, this was a very important quality to have. We too need to ask for discernment in all things. Not just when listening to our ministers, but in watching the news on television, listening to the radio, reading magazines and books, and in normal conversation. Test your ministers and check each other. We all have opinions; sometimes those opinions are dangerously wrong. We can check with the Bible and check with each other to help discern the truth.
Praise and glory to God Almighty!
