Dear family,
I just cannot stop thinking about a quote TF Tenney posted recently. He wrote that as he was maturing in ministry an old prophetess told him something to the effect of "...when you begin to love souls more than doctrine God can really use you."
Often the arguments between the family of faith have been disparaging. And although I realize the necessity of purity in following the Word, let deeper understanding come as the Holy Spirit reveals it. When this is the case, Jesus will always be the central point of the Gospel rather than this dogma or that. Generally speaking, babes in Christ are not ready for theorizing and matters best described as subjective ideologies; they need the nutrition of the pure Gospel which is Jesus, always Jesus.
Now, since seeing that post, we discuss this regularly; the ministry team God has placed around me. "When we get to the place in our walk with God that we can truly focus on souls more than on doctrine, we will be used mightily in winning the lost."
Blessings,
Liz
