Watered Down

I have friends who for years have been faithful supporters of various Bible colleges. Over the last few years however, that has changed. Being good stewards of their resources and seeing the caliber of graduates coming out of today’s Bible colleges, they have withdrawn their financial support. It never crossed my mind that some of the problems the church is experiencing are the result of Bible colleges presenting watered down theology to their students. Many of us need to start rightly dividing the truth for ourselves rather than expecting (and accepting) the seminary graduate in the pulpit to do it for us.

Gail;
-----A lot of knowledge and information is necessary for rightly dividing the deeper truths of the Word. But thank God the deeper truths are guided by the simple truths. And the simple truths can be known by just picking up a Bible and reading it without a sassy attitude. Therefore, maybe some questions concerning the new life are better answered by the more educated, but fruit still follows the kind of its tree, and honest folk leading simple lives still know one tree from another.

Love,
