Word and Spirit...Non-negotiable. - Post 2

1) I don’t read blogs (or many books for that matter) because: My passion and desire is to live for Christ in the purest form possible.
 
As radical as the reality of the combination of God’s Word and God’s Spirit being the purest form of learning and living truth may be to some…it is TRUE. Nothing can or should be said to soften this truth AND  believing it is important in our growth in Christ.
 
The next word in this blog is important.  It is not ”however”, “but” or  “conversely”.  The next word is  “therefore”,  “consequently”, or  “building on that truth” or “with this always in mind”.  So let’s try this.
 
There is only one source of pure truth and that is Christ and His Word, and there is only one perfect teacher of His Word and that is the Holy  Spirit. (PERIOD!)  Knowing,  believing and always remembering that truth, when we read, hear, touch, taste, smell, see or feel ANYTHING in our lives, it must be authenticated by the Word  and Spirit of Christ as kingdom of God truth or it is deception. (SECOND PERIOD!)
 
Do you agree with this? For me, the previous paragraph is Non-negotiable. And quite honestly it  should be for anyone that calls themselves a Christian.  As God’s children, by grace through faith we follow the Word of Christ by the guidance and power of the Spirit of Christ for the glory of God.
 
NOW, we are ready to move on…..in the next post.
In His Peace,
Pastor Fred
