Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits
whether they are of God: because many false
prophets are gone out into the world.
1John
4:1
It is for us, therefore, to judge carefully, and not to think that any
opinion will do. Besides, opinions have influence upon the conduct, and if a
man have a wrong opinion, he will, most likely, in some way or other, have
wrong conduct, for the two usually go together.
A little excess in
right may be faulty. It may be wise to look, but foolish to gaze. There is a
very thin partition sometimes between that which is commendable and that
which is censurable.
Before I leave this point, I would urge you
earnestly to be careful both as to the man you hear, and the words of his on
which you rest. I beseech any of you who are attendants here, who are
resting yourselves upon my words, to cease that habit.
As the good man
said to his boy, “My boy, pay as you go.” “Suppose I cannot pay, father.”
“Then, don’t go;” so would I say to you, examine your life as you go. If you
dare not examine an action, or look at it, then do not do it.
This
shall be an infallible test to you concerning anyone’s ministry. If it is
man-praising, and man-honouring, it is not of God. C.H SPURGEON
“The gospel is the plumb line for judging all theological edifices. Know
the plumb line, so possess it, and use it. It will save you from human reasoning
and the deceitfulness of your own heart to try and determine what is right,
apart from the gospel.” Isa 8:20 / Ps 40:7
Remember it is always only about Him! John 5:39
