I want to share a little insight about me for a quick second.. I am a Melancholy- Phlegmatic Temperament. Which means that I feel deeply, I need truth, and I like being alone most of the time. However, if I have friends, I care about them deeply and unfortunately, I have to guard myself in taking their actions (or words) personally.
With that being said, I am incredibly thankful for the inerrancy of Scripture. Although it seems to be very pointed at times, I love searching for truth within God’s Word. God’s Word does not fail. No matter how many people turn their backs on God, God does not turn His back on us when we trust in Him. God’s actions matter to me more than any other person.
In this day in age, there are too many people who went to Bible College, served the Lord in variety of ways, and now their lives do not radiate a love for God at all. Do you realize how depressing that is? Seeing sweet “Christian” young men and women turn their backs on a Holy God who loves them?
If there is any exhortation I could give you, please check yourself. You have been bought with a price, you have been adopted into the most loving family (God’s). You are not your own. If other “Christians” are changing the way you view this life for Christ, you need to search the scriptures. That is one thing that will NEVER change. Opinions change, God’s Word does not.
” Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them.” (Hebrews 13:7-9 ESV)
