Dumbing Down On God
2 John 1:10-11 (MSG) If anyone shows up who doesn’t hold to this teaching [the teaching of Christ], don’t invite him in and give him the run of the place. That would just give him a platform to perpetuate his evil ways, making you his partner.
What excuses do we have for dumbing down on God? Hasn’t He seen us through our share of trials and tribulations so much so that we know His teachings are true, and that He is faithful to His every Word? We deflect from the teaching of Christ wherein we affirm our faith whenever we don’t choose to be all of who we are in Him. What are our children expected to believe about the God we are teaching them to look up to? There is too much at risk when we are passive with agents of the adversary. May we demonstrate our conviction to stay true to Christ’s teachings by remaining bold in spirit and in truth.
