What do you sit under?

8/27/2015

0 Comments

 
Each week, every single believer sits under some form of teaching.
Every single week, every single believer.
Here are 4 categories:
1. Sitting under heresy
2. Sitting under error
3. Sitting under truth
4. Sitting under nothing
And actually, there may be only 3, since sitting under nothing is simply a form of sitting under error.
 
How dangerous is this walk, that only one of those 4 is OK.
The believer is secure, but the perils are real.
Our Lord warns,
Mat 7:13  "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.
Mat 7:14  Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Oh, how the world and the flesh love the wide gate, the broad way.
The accessible way, the sensible way, the practical way.

The world is full of messengers like the one sent to Micaiah,
1Ki 22:13  And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good.

“Say nice things.  Tell them what they want to hear.”
The pursuers of heresy and error and Sunday silence love to hear what they want to hear.

This is the easy way, the path of least resistance.
But the gate is narrow, the way difficult, that leads to life,
Mat 7:13  "Enter by the narrow gate; …
Mat 7:14  Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

The great need of His Church is for His preachers to fearlessly declare His Word, like Micaiah -
1Ki 22:14  And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that will I speak.

We love Micaiah for that.
