Dear America: Chapter 3 (v. 18)

"Do not be led away from the truth and simplicity of the gospel by pretenders to science and eloquence, by a show of deep learning" (Matthew Henry).

Whether it is pastors, guest speakers, psychologists, etc.; do no be fooled by their credentials. Do not be fooled by doctrine that sounds appealing to your lives, but cannot be backed up by all of Scripture. Throw away the wisdom of the world so that you look like a fool to them. You "must distrust (your) own understanding and not lean on it" (Matthew Henry).

True wisdom is found when we throw away whatever we think we know and hold on tightly to Jesus Christ alone.
