Beware and Be Aware

Our operation is by the Spirit, the Holy Spirit, is it not? And because of the Spirit we are enabled, imbued and endowed with discernment. God gave us laws and commandments. These we follow. But God also gave us principle, precept and doctrine in which to discern through the Spirit, so as to equip us to live, move and have our being in this world as a child of God.

What isn’t black and white is discerned through the Spirit.

Yes we have scripture. But not everything of God is spelled out in a command or law.

Beware of the traditions of men, of form and protocol, of ceremony and of vain creeds and philosophies attached to God’s word.

At the same time, be very aware of nature, for God is in everything He has created. Is it not through nature that God touches even the most primitive of savages? Is not the Spirit placed in the hearts of the isolated that enables that man to see God through his surroundings?
