Teaching

Today's Devotion: Hebrews 5:12 (New International Version) - In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! We can't be teachers until we learn what to teach and how to teach, can we?

Today's Comments: In my opinion, many of our churches are teaching the wrong things. We are teaching that man's call for fairness and justice are more important than God's call for sanctification. We are teaching that man's definition of marriage is more important than the definition that Jesus refers to in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, when the Pharisees questioned Him about divorce.

It is amazing that one of my fraternity brothers, who is a Presbyterian minister referred to the sin at Sodom and Gomorrah as one involving hospitality. If this is the kind of Christianity that we are teaching, no wonder we are having serious problems in this world. Instead, we need to pray that our learning gives us true wisdom and that we can use that wisdom for the proclamation of truth in the Gospel and the preaching of God's Kingdom here on Earth.
