Who Are You Going to Believe?

Facts never conflict with the Bible. The problem is the way people interpret the facts. When God says the world's wisdom is foolishness, it's not the facts that are in conflict (1 Corinthians 1:20). 

We see the misapplication of facts in the popular theory of evolution, and we see it in worldly philosophies that encourage selfish and sinful desires.

When Proverbs 15:22 tells us to seek a multitude of counselors, it doesn't mean we should keep looking until we find one that gives the advice we want to hear. 

Author and speaker Elisabeth Elliot put it this way, "Be cautious when the advice given makes you feel comfortable when you know you're really wrong." 

When we sincerely seek God's will, we'll recognize things built on worldly principles. It may sound good to our fallen human nature, but God's Spirit within us will recognize that it's foolishness.

"See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ." Colossians 2:8 

E. Elliot Quote: Keep a Quiet Heart, (Ann Arbor, Michigan, Servant Publications, 1995, pp 160.)
