31 Days of 5 Minute Free Writes 2017 - 24: "Revise"

Colossians 3:16 - Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

 

Revise - to reconsider and alter (something) in the light of further evidence.

God has done a lot of revising in my life.  His Word always presents the light of further evidence.  Staying in His Word is what helps me distinguish whether what's being taught is truth or a lie.

To do a proper revision, there must be a firm standard to go by.  Just as in the study of history should begin with the writings of the person involved (if they are available), shouldn't knowledge about God be firmly rooted in His own inspired Word?

See, if I know the Word, then if Brother Doo-Dad or Sister Bucket Mouth presents a version of the Gospel that doesn't line up with the Bible, I can safely toss it.  If it does line up and I don't agree with it, then it's time for me to dig deeper in the Word and let the Lord do a revision of my thinking and beliefs.

Like I was told by a spiritual mentor, "Be like a good horse; eat the hay and spit out the sticks."
