Yardstick


After I John 4:1-6

So many claims, so many
speakers, so many spirits
claiming inspiration and it’s
often difficult to discern,
difficult to know, really,
because they say the right things,
look the part, quote
the right sources, spout
off those verses like a master.
But we have a yardstick:
do these voices, these spirits,
acknowledge the one who came
in the flesh? Sometimes it’s
difficult to question the source
of the message, but question
we must, and question
we can.

That is just the case too. Question, question, question. Thanks, Glenn, we don’t always follow through as we should.
