Wrestling with Romans 13_Part 2

Joshua Gregory Messages and Sermons

Consensus of opinion is not the path to truth. Truth must be revealed by the Truthful One-o It is the Truth that matters. It is the Truth that sets you free. -o I must be more concerned with speaking the truth than whether you like what I'm saying. -o This is why it is necessary to understand proper submission to authority. And what authority is. And what restrictions it is appropriate to submit ourselves to. -- Simply put- Love ought to compel us to seek and speak truth. --AND--When be begin down the path toward truth, we embark on a dangerous journey.--o Consider this path--Seeking truth means that there is truth. The fact that there is truth means there is a right thing to believe. A desire to understand truth or to know the right thing can quickly settle into a satisfaction with being right. And feeling justified in being right can completely replace the hunger for truth altogether if we're not careful.-- Prov 16-18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.-- As we seek Truth, our heart's attitude ought to be- -Lord, you know,- rather than any self-satisfaction with being right.
