Gal 5:9
9 "A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough." NIV
Just a little false doctrine can go a long way within the church is what is going on here. Yep that is for sure. It is so easy to allow someone to start some kind of dissent and the next thing you know is another denomination is born. I think it is so bizarre there are over three hundred different denominations in this country. I believe it is all about someone spreading a little yeast and it works through a church and destroys it. I cannot allow that to be a part of my life. I cannot take part in this form of gossip or dissention. I believe there is but one gospel, one truth, one way and I am in the center of it. Now, why do think I am right? How arrogant of me to think I have the one and true interpretation of the scriptures? I truly do believe I have not been tainted by what others believe. Whatever I do hear others teach and preach I notice the right and the wrong of their words immediately. Why is that? Do I dare think I God has given me the gift of discernment? Just maybe, or am I just so focused on what I believe I am not open to what others believe? Why don’t we believe the same thing? Isn’t there only one truth? I have to believe someone is not in the correct understanding of the scripture. I know I am not going to budge from what I know to be true. I am not going to let anyone spread false teaching within my being. But, again I do keep coming back to my single mindedness. Is it just stubbornness? Am I just so proud I don’t accept what someone else has discovered within the scriptures? I do accept those discoveries when I hear them, if they are spot on with the rest of scripture. It is when those ideas espoused by others are in conflict with the whole truth I reject them. But why me, why do I think I am right? My thoughts are rambling around, not really organized today, but that is ok, it is only me anyway. I have to conclude I am right because I read the bible and only the bible and not all those teaching of men. Wow, and here I have written a book teaching others on the truth of the first Psalm. What is that all about? I won’t accept what others believe and yet I want others to accept what I believe. Am I being that little bit of yeast? Am I the one causing dissention among the church? I have to answer no! I have been called by God to teach and preach the one true gospel, the one truth, to share the bread of life.
