As we grow up, one of the first people we tend to trust is our parents. Everything they tell us, we usually believe. It’s like the movIe The Water Boy featuring Adam Sandler where all his answers began with “Mama say…” It’s not until we go off to school and meet new people, we hear new theories and new ways of doing things. Some of those theories seem very logical and convincing.  

When we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we should revert back to our child-like belief system. Instead of trusting our parents, we should trust God and God alone. All our answers should revolve around the Word of God. We should reject every thought and theory that’s contrary to the Word of God. In a sense, we should begin all our answers with “God’s Word says…” 

New thoughts and ideas are always arriving. God’s Word is unchanging. Cast down all thoughts and theories because “God’s Word says…”


2 Corinthians 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
