Dear brothers and sisters, not many of you should become teachers in the church, for we who teach will be judged more strictly.
James 3:1 NLT
The Truth is eternal. Opinions are temporary.
The Truth will never die. Our opinions die with us.
The Truth is a Person. Opinions are vapors in the wind.
We are not our opinions. Our view of ourselves and the world we live in are not necessarily based on the facts and the knowledge of God.
Rely on God, instead of your own limited perspective, knowledge and experience.
The Holy Spirit is our Teacher. The Holy Spirit is our Comforter. The Holy Spirit lives in all of those who know and confess publicly that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Is Jesus Christ your Lord?
Then obey Him.
We are free. Free from the law of sin and death. Free from religion. Set free by God Himself from a life of sin.
Now, justified by our faith, we have the liberty to obey God, empowered by the grace of God.
We have been freed from the powers of hell to live in the Kingdom of God, both now and forever.
Teach the Truth. Whatever the Holy Spirit directs you to do and say, go that way. It pleases God when we are united with Him in One Spirit. Let the God of Heaven be your God, too.
Our opinions come from our souls. The Truth comes through our spirits.
We have the mind of Christ. We know the will of God. Our emotions are evidence based indicators of our unity with God.
The absence of the fruit of the Spirit is the check engine light for our lives.
Return to Truth and you will experience the abundant life.
The love of God is poured into us in His Presence. In His Presence is the fullness of joy. Knowing how much you are loved by God brings peace, peace beyond understanding. I could go on and on but I don’t want to bore you with the details.
Find out for yourself. Talk with God. Walk with God. It’s the only way to live that truly satisfies our heart’s desires.
Be of good cheer. God is not mad at you. He wants to help you. But He cannot help you if you refuse to obey Him. His direction is life giving.
Repent of living a self directed life and turn to God for the redemption of your soul.
God wants to use you in His Kingdom.
Choose this day who you will serve.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. To God be the glory. Amen.
Until I come, devote yourself to public reading [of Scripture], to preaching and to teaching [the sound doctrine of God’s word].
1 Timothy 4:13 AMP
