"Jess met a person who was a Christian by title but not attending church. This person also spoke of a friend who is believes that sound waves will help you if you can be still enough to hear them. They said that they didn't believe in these things and yet when in need of help to find a lost animal or wanting direction called this friend to pray and seek good vibes for the animal or for guidance. Their actions tell the true story that they indeed do believe in these things. In the same way Spurgeon wrote of the people at the pool waiting for the angel to stir the water and yet could have looked to Jesus for their healing. They were content with the pool side instead of the side of the savior. May we seek Him in truth and not follow the err of the world's folly!"
Too many people mix their Christian faith with popular worldly beliefs. This mixture waters down faith and the power of the gospel.
The longer I am a Christian and the more I read the Bible the more I believe God at His Word. It can be taken at face value. It is a simple gospel. We could sum up the Bible with the words God's creation, Stan's deception, the fall of man, Jesus death, burial and resurrection, our restoration.
I like how Paul told the Corinthian church that while he was with them he was determined to know nothing but Christ and Him crucified. If all we had was a simple gospel without the rest of the Bible it would still be enough to save, deliver and restore people. Let's seek Jesus the Healer, the Lover, the Restorer, the Deliverer, the Counselor, the Teacher...God's Word to you and me.
How can we guard ourselves from straying from the truth? What are some ways we can focus on the simple truths of God's Word?
