THE SOURCE

THE SOURCE

Tuesday, December 4, 2018

1Corinthians 2:12-16 [GW] Now, we didn't receive the spirit that belongs to the world. Instead, we received the Spirit who comes from God so that we could know the things which God has freely given us. We don't speak about these things using teachings that are based on intellectual arguments like people do. Instead, we use the Spirit's teachings. We explain spiritual things to those who have the Spirit. A person who isn't spiritual doesn't accept the teachings of God's Spirit. He thinks they're nonsense. He can't understand them because a person must be spiritual to evaluate them. Spiritual people evaluate everything but are subject to no one's evaluation. "Who has known the mind of the Lord so that he can teach him?" However, we have the mind of Christ.

  Has anyone ever blessed you with some variation of “The Source be with you!” or the old way of wishing others “Good luck!”? There’s a Source teacher airing on PBS that is drawing crowds in person and as viewers. As I watched the TV cameras scan the auditorium I saw spellbound expressions, but not one skeptical countenance.

  Everyone has a source they rely on for how they see and act in life and react to life’s joys and trials, including death. For professing Christians this should be centered in the Word of God, living (Jn.1:1, 14), and written (Mt.4:4; 2Tim.3:16-17). The Bible should never ever be one of several in a Christian’s kit!
