The Power of the Right Word
>> Thursday, November 6, 2008
Eldredge urges us to test the words that we hear (in books, in a sermon, etc.) He says that we should ask if it draws us to God, really draw us to Him. We should ask ourselves if it sounds right because it sounds religious or if it truly produces freedom, life, intimacy with God.

I think sometimes I'm guilty of just believing something because a pastor said it or I read it in a "christian" book. On occasion I have tested the words I heard and it's led me to some great in-depth studies. God is always faithful to show us truth if we just ask.
A lot of times I feel God speaking to me as I hear something. Either a tug at my heart or even a "that's not quite right". I am so thankful that He does this and that the Bible says that His sheep will know his voice.
