Fellow Labourers-
How often have we omitted a word or a phrase and tried very hard to defend a defenseless position? Be careful for nothing, the Bible says. How well I remember my late father when one day he said to me. "Around the rugged, rugged rock, the rugged rascal ran. How many R in THAT?" I kept counting and asking him to repeat until he asked me to spell THAT. It was then that I saw his real question.
Do we always carefully consider what we hear or read before we form an opinion or give an answer? Truth be told I believe most of us are guilty of repeating "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free."
"Only by holding to the teaching of Christ in the context of purposeful discipleship can true freedom be found." When I read this sentence I cringed a little because I see things happening around me in the context of the church that has nothing to do with purposeful discipleship. It has more to do with activities and our own self importance. It smacks of idolatry and hence a diluting of purposeful worship. It is when Christ become the centre of our worship we shall know the truth which will set us free.
Pax Vobiscum
