Going to that Place Beyond

Know what scares me? I see some of the best meaning, bible adhering, truth seeking Christians that are so right on with their methods and concerns but inevitably most seem to get to a ‘place’…a place that seems to cross an invisible border beyond complete truth to acceptable truth and onward to other things. Then you look at their life and see subtle changes from before when you used to think that they were right on, wonder when exactly did they cross the line, and… will I too have to cross it or is there any way to avoid it?

These were strong folks in God. Godly folks with a head on their shoulders and a heart underneath and they seemed to have the ‘right’ answers. Sadly, for some reason people are still applauding them even though they have slowly started to delve into extra/ultra biblical dimensions.

Some is being done in the name of creative writing, artistic flair or other special ‘licensing’ but it has still stepped away ever so slightly from the rock-solid truths that they began in.

Do I also have to follow that road? If you see me veering off the well-trodden paths of truth will you gently correct me? Will I listen? At that point, will I be able to hear correction?

I pray I will always have ears to hear! When my ears stop hearing and my eyes stop seeing spiritually, I have begun to slowly die and become extinct.
