We are confounded with everyone’s opinion. We cannot escape it! Everyone has to have a voice. People fight for their opinions. “Opinions cannot survive if one has no chance to fight for them.” Thomas Mann Differences of opinion separate families, friends and divide churches. You can have a low opinion, an informed opinion, a “contrary to popular belief” opinion, a high opinion, a general opinion, an expert opinion, to mention a few. In truth, there is nothing so short-lived as an opinion without a personal biblical conviction.
The Atheist says “There is no God”
The Agnostic says “There might be a God”
The Humanist says “Let’s remove God”
Pornography says: “Sex is God”
Greed says “Money is God”
Pride says “Power is God”
Satan says “Be your own God”
“The tongue with its opinions can be a beautiful angel or a hideous demon. It can be honey or vinegar. The tongue can be pure or vile. The tongue can caress or cut. It can rouse men to act as well as it can subdue their emotions. A false whisper can infuriate a nation, but the power of eloquence can quell the fury of a multitude. A word of anger can wound while a word of kindness can heal. Words of hate can kill and words of love can revive.”
God says: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue”. Proverbs 18: 21
One day opinions will flee and at the name of Jesus every knee will bow and every tongue will confess who the REAL, TRUE God is! Romans 14: 11 “The unattended garden will soon be overrun with weeds; the heart that fails to cultivate truth and root out error will shortly be a theological wilderness!” A.W.Tozer
Do you want to put order back in your life and understand our current world events?
