If I said that I could help you would you simply follow lead?

Everything is choice for that is the greatest gift God has given. Thus the expression of our loving respect for His Sovereignty we choose to lay aside our choices to pursue the things He calls righteous.

What is human credibility? Does it more closely match my version or aspiration than the historical reliability of the speaker or written word? Do I in fact eschew men of credibility perceiving that following their lead will not give me what I desire? Of course.

Modern man struggles with His source of Truth. It’s not a news flash to say that we wrestle with the source and credibility of its origin. If we remain skeptical of everything, then each decision will be timely delayed until ample thinking has been extinguished to determine data reliability.

There are so many who view Christian men as incredible. Not the mistaken sense of the word which imparts an awesomeness but the root of it which means “unbelievable”. Perhaps it is the hypocrisy of comparison when viewing their lives and their words side by side?

Each of us aspires to be believable that when we truly attempt to make a difference in this world we have efficacy and receipt. Perhaps, the origin of the lost credibility of Christian men is their source? So often we see their appeal to this reliable content or that historical tome, yet we struggle with people turning away too soon.

Most will argue because they have been seeded with deep distrust of those who would poison their minds or demand their obedience to logic. However, there are few who have found a pure source of data, thinking and repair that never fails.

Many seek it in universal consciousness believing somehow that thinking may never be tainted, poisoned or willfully twisted to produce less than favorable or unhealthy. They open themselves to a world view of consciousness, openly acknowledging the existence of “good and evil” or “yin and yang” of opposing ideas and think themselves the only arbiter or proper police of thought.

Being open to ideas is a willful vulnerability. Tolerance for example makes one pliable by choice to the Kidnappers and miscreants of fallen ambition. Opening doors to previous unconsiderable content brings with it the dangers and should engage the defenses and filters of logic, peace and hope.

For instance, assuming there are in deed enemies camouflaged in kindness or “wearing sheep’s clothing” as they were, we automatically proffer defenses against infiltration against person, people and promise.

When consciousness is perceived as righteousness we are vulnerable to the ideas which appear helpful but plant insidious or odious intention. An example are the dangers of suggesting to children that decisions about sexuality, gender and personhood are fluid and do not require a mature mind to discuss or determine.

Enemies of mankind will always seek to influence the most vulnerable or ill prepared for the onslaught of malformation that accompanies poorly protected kernel of self awareness and identity. Now back to Christianity. Without the protections, filters and mature understanding of God’s Word Christian men, being the seat of leadership in their families are willfully distributing potentially dangerous ideas to their people.

Why, because Christians have determined the baseline that the Word of God is the Only Reliable Truth that will never steer its reader astray of healthy living. It is reliable and credible at each testing removing the need for cupbearer, each of us being fully confident of God’s Provision for our souls.

Why are we struggling in our marriages, our relationships, our business and our families? Because, we remain stuck in the quagmire of clay associated with believers who are Bareans of God not of man. We question God and not our neighbor or stream’s of consciousness because the latter represents our quest and test of Freedom, a concept we hold near and dear to heart even above our belief in God.

Freedom is always associated with choice. Choice is the beginning of relationship with God. We cannot have a relationship with God until we have made the choice of our own fallen state and the immediate recognition of our need for redemption from that fallen state. The choice to follow God demands that we open ourselves, in supplication, vulnerability and Trust of His Gospel Word.

This presents a greater problem of our day, fully prophesied in the Bible regarding our times that of the false teacher. The dangers of interpretation of God’s Holy Word through a poisoned teacher is rationally one of those defense mechanisms that must be deployed to keep us safe, holy and blameless before the Throne of God.

Reading the Word, ingesting God’s; Immutable, Trustworthy and Holy Word is far removed from the eloquence or tainted understanding and expository intention of men of ambition. Therefore we are not to filter or subject God to skepticism but are fully capable and wise to apply this filter to the men and women who provide second hand interpretation.

If you are to view me as credible then you must compare what I have taught, preached or posited as Holy with the Word of God. That comparison is righteous, just as the comparison with streams of consciousness or energetic thought. The only line of Truth is its consistency with the Absolute Truth of God’s Word.

God is not capable of Sin, I am. Jesus had no sin, that is not true of Mary, Paul, Peter or John. They cannot be viewed as the same origins. That is why the eye witness testimony and Holy Spirit inspiration of the New Testament are paramount. They are giving an account through man’s eyes of the supernatural. Therefore, it is found to be consistent with every Word God has uttered for man’s edification.

Therefore, the Holy Spirit is pivotal in determination of Truth and Consciousness of today’s worldly dogma. He alone provides the Divine; Discernment of hearts, minds and intentions. Without His defense against the deceptions of the Arch Fallen we are babes alone in the woods of malcontent. His consistence with God’s Word is our first and last line of defense against that deception.

Am I credible then becomes a measure of how closely I adhere to that immutable power of God’s Holy Word. As we struggle to be acceptable to man it is easy to forget our footing and try to be consistent or likeable to the world, open or tolerant as they put it to the swollen substitution of Consciousness as our guide when it in fact present our greatest inherent danger.
