Wrongly Righteous

Have you ever met someone who is convinced about what is right and yet, they are what I am going to call, wrongly righteous? It would appear that some people are authorities on the subjects they argue about, defend and support. The ability to speak up with conviction holds sway with many and when exposed to the eloquence of a persuasive persons patter, you or I might find ourselves wooed, led astray, down the wooded path to say, the candy and gingerbread house of a wicked witch? What makes me bring this metaphor up, you ask? It is the misguided, the malfunctioning believes that are in evidence and manifesting in humanity and all walks of life as I look to the left, the right, straight ahead and just behind me. Directionally speaking, humanity is misguided and the belief is that everything is a o k and we are all entitled to a life as we want it without regard for consequences. So here we are, believing in God and as Christ followers, we have the gift of The Word of God, the bible. Understanding it's writings is ONLY possible for those who trust in Christ as Saviour because the Holy Spirit is our interpreter and spiritual soul guide as we navigate the richness of this divinely inspired work. What is my point, you ask? If you are a believer, if you know that Christ was born of a virgin, performed miracles, died on a cross for your sins and rose again and will judge the living and the dead, you cannot change one iota (the smallest letter in the alphabet) in scripture. We cannot as Christians, cherry pick verses to prove ourselves right-the wholeness of the bible disallows this ravaging and distortion. If you are reading this and you have become confused about what is and is not acceptable thinking, words, actions in this life because you see what I see, a free for all of debauchery, than first of all, get out your bible and if you are still confused, call a devoted bible believer, someone you trust who relies on Gods instructions and not merely human indulgences. Truth is never confusing, complicated or convoluted. The Truth is available and God is Righteous. Read your bible~God makes Himself clear on every page.
