I think of Matthew 15:13-14 " But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch." I really think most 'Christian colleges' are just blind leaders leading the blind. If a man is called to serve God, goes to a 'Christian college' and learns false teachings. Where does this leave the 'people'?
Having grown up in a ministers home and my dad was a presperter (fancy name for head minister of all the ministers in a district) which also put him on the board for ordaining ministers in our state. All this to say not only have I witnessed this with my own eyes but have also heard my dad talk about the compromises colleges and church denomination's have been making to put ministers in the pulpit. The worst part of all of this is that this has been going on for so long the 'church' doesn't see it happening, they don't even realize they are being lead by the blind. They are so blind. Man has been putting his trust in man for so long where can one find a 'man' that can be trusted?
I want to say this world yet I am going to be more specific. America revolves around the all mighty dollar. If a Bible college is going to make it it needs money. And if a Bible college asks for federal $, well the answer there is obvious, God will be taken out of the college in no time at all. I believe Harvard is a good example. So I can see and understand this way of demise. How many churches compromise doctrine to get people in the doors. Hay! Where do you think those pastors got that idea? Yes, most Bible colleges teach how to get people into your church. Now is that biblical?
Now I want to know how do we reverse this process? Or do we? Do we need to go down another path to find leadership to follow? And what is that path? Who (man) can we trust?

When you know the truth, you find someone who knows the truth too. Then you submit yourself under their authority. Sometimes, when you don't like what they have to say, you have to remember why you went to that leader in the first place. For example, I know my church is awesome because when I first went there I was impressed by the "wisdom which is vidicated by ehr deeds", but there are days...oh, yes, there are days when I ask why am I here?? They are always poking at me...Why do I put up with it? Well, because I know that they are right. They are trying to mold me into what God wants me to be, not what I want to be. They preach the gospel clearly and expect me to do the same.
The only way we can change this world is by getting more people truly saved. Not like your minister in the next post- but people not being afraid to preach what people don't want to hear--mainly that we are sinners adn weill NEVER deserve to go to heaven no matter what! Who wants to hear that? He who has ears, let him hear. And how will they hear without a preacher??
I understand what you are saying. I guess I wanted to get across how people are blind and have no idea that they are blind. They really think they know the truth. Satan has so many people deceived into thinking his truth is the truth.
Remember I grew up with a preacher. I heard the gospel but it was as the pharisees, told and not followed so it didn't do much good. Well the truth was planted. Yet for that truth to grow and see the light a lot of pruning and breaking up of the ground had to take place. And I must say it has been painful.
Yet, I praise God that He loves me enough to not leave me as I am. I say as I am because I know there are still area's in my life that need to be broken up. I believe you referred to the word submit. LOL At times I wonder if I will ever be able to fully submit. I guess that is a whole blog in itself. LOL Dawn
