Subject: Pragmatism is of the World |
Bible Note: Our world has attained a great deal by the application of the philosophy of pragmatism. Consequently, this way of thinking is imbedded deeply in our minds. Tacitly approving of this philosophy we use catch phrases in our evangelism to try to garner converts. Things like, "Give Jesus a try," or "Jesus is the answer." The reason we submit to Christ as Lord and Savior is not because of any benefit we derive. We submit to Him because He IS Lord and Savior. "Lord, help us to avoid vain and worldly philosophies of men, trying to mix them with the Truth. What fellowship hath darkness with light? We cannot improve on Your Word. Give us grace to obey You simply because You are King." |
