DAILY?READINGS: Exodus 40; Psalms 94-95; Acts 24:1-23
What shall we say? Romans 3:5, 4:1, 6:1, 7:7, 8:31, 9:14, 9:30
Methods for gathering public opinion abound. But with Christian truth, we need to beware of allowing opinion to supersede Scripture. The line-upon-line construction of Romans brings us back repeatedly to this point: our thoughts about divine things must ever be formed by Scripture, not deduced from them. The faulty human mind (1 Cor. 2:14) and the fraudulent human heart (Jer. 17:9) must always be in submission to God’s Word. —Rick Morse
Look upon us blessed Lord,
Take our wandering thoughts and guide us;
We have come to hear Thy Word,
With Thy teaching now provide us.
—Tobias Clausnitzer
