“I also want to apologize for specific careless words I spoke when I said that people were “so foolish” for ditching Mike “because you heard something from a friend.” When I said that, I had in mind common theological critiques and unverified criticisms. In light of everything that came out afterwards, I regret saying that, as I realize I could have discouraged people who had legitimate concerns or given the impression that silence is best when there is real abuse or unrepentant sin.”
(Francis Chan) “This is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word.”(Isaiah 66:2)
Because I have been teaching the Bible for 40 years, I need to pray regularly for the ability to “tremble” at His word. I cannot allow Bible verses to become ordinary or mere teaching points. By the grace of God, I woke up the other day with some scriptures that convicted me deeply—almost to “trembling”.
“I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”(Matthew 12:36-37)
