Cult....ture! Think about it!

What is "culture." 

"the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively."

When we go with whatever the culture is doing we are acting the way someone acts when in a cult. That is to do and say and be everything those in the cult expect of us rather than thinking rationally with our own minds.

Christ commands us to think with His mind. How do we do that? The only way to think like Christ is to be born again. After that, we must read His Word asking the Holy Spirit to enlighten us to understand what we read.

Christ in us also uses our life experience to further enhance HIs teachings. Experience is a grand teacher if it is interpreted through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Far too many Christian remain dependent on their own understanding rather than on the truths of the Bible.

Proverbs 3:5-6
"5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding."

Psalm 146:3-7
"3 Do not trust in princes,
In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.
4 His spirit departs, he returns to the earth;
In that very day his thoughts perish.
5 How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
Whose hope is in the Lord his God,
6 Who made heaven and earth,
The sea and all that is in them;
Who keeps faith forever;
7 Who executes justice for the oppressed;
Who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free."
