"Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things
to be right; and I hate every false way." Psalm 119:128
God's word covers every area of life, and there is nothing
that it does not cover or address. It may not say in exact words, "Thou shall
not (fill in the blank) ___", but it is found in it through its teachings and
principles. Sadly, not everyone-- in the world and in the church-- believes
that it covers "all things".
There are two things that we need to understand concerning
the word of God or we will always have trouble knowing what is right and what
isn't. We will be in confusion and live a compromised lifestyle. We will be
easily persuaded to go in the wrong direction. Our faith will be weak, and we
will be like a double-minded man who is unstable in all his ways.
The first thing is what we have already mentioned: God's
word addresses every issue mankind has. The second is: God's word is correct
concerning every issue. It is the only thing that is totally correct all the
time about everything- man's philosophies, his education, his intellectual
assumptions, his humanistic reasoning is all flawed and therefore incorrect much
of the time.
When political correctness, popular opinion, or the
mindset of the age clashes or disagrees with the word of God, it will always be
God's word that is the right one. Just because everyone else believes that a
certain thing is right, just because it is the direction the world is going, if
it is contrary to God's word, it is wrong and God's word is right. It will
always be the word of God that is the correct one and the one that you need to
follow.
You have to be convinced of this or you will fall prey to
lies, deception, false teachings and be carried away by every wind of doctrine--
false doctrine within the walls of the church, and false doctrine that the world
is propagating.
Have a great day. God's word is the only thing that is
always correct, all the time, on every issue.
