The following statement on a church marquee caught my eye. It is easier to debate the Bible, than obey the Bible! I have pondered the statement ever since, and, sad to say, there seems to be a lot of truth in it. I have wondered why it is, and perhaps there are a number of reasons. The natural man does not like to submit…it is contrary to human nature. The path of obedience is not necessarily the easiest path, although in the end it is the happiest path. Man likes to use his intellect to debate, but it takes faith to obey the Word of God. Human nature is such that we like a good argument. Debating exalts human ability, obedience takes humility of mind and spirit. Let’s be like David who said: “Teach me to do Thy will; for Thou art my God: Thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness” (Psalm 143:10).
