There is a difference between studying Scripture because we want to understand what Yahweh has said and continuing to study because we are hoping to find a way around what we have already understood. The difficult part is recognizing when we have crossed that line. Recently, I wrote an article called What It Means to…

Correction is one of those subjects that can become unbalanced very quickly in the Body of Christ. We can become so resistant to being challenged that anyone who questions us is immediately considered judgmental, religious, controlling, or offended.
