John Bradshaw - I Hope You're Better Than That
Paul and Silas created quite a stir when they preached Christianity in the heathen city of Philippi. Notice how some of the locals reacted, "They brought them to the magistrates, saying, 'These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city, and teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans'".
They didn't say "what they're saying isn't true", or "that's not what God says"; they were upset about their precious customs. Many Christians are just the same; they don't allow themselves to grow in their experience, because the new light they receive runs counter to their traditions.
I hope you're better than that; I often wonder what believers in Jesus expect, that they already know everything, nothing more for them to learn. Don't ever get stuck defending your traditions and customs; always be willing to be led by the Bible. I'm John Bradshaw for It Is Written.
