I was studying Romans 6 this afternoon. I was deeply impressed by something there. I wrote out a short paragraph about what I saw. I then called a close friend and read it to him.
Why?
I wanted him to think through the passage with me. I wanted him to question me on what I wrote. I need the examination. I need someone to challenge what I see in the Scripture. I do not have all of the gifts. I do not have a corner on truth. I need others in the Body to listen critically to what I find and process my conclusions through their understanding of the Word.
Not doing that, not seeking that, is what breeds error.
