One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that when we study the bible it is important to  make sure we allow it to speak for itself and inform our understanding instead of trying to make what the bible teaches fit into our favorite doctrine, theological movement, or denominational understanding.

If we come to the bible with a specific understanding or interpretation already in place, it is easy for us to miss what is meant to be communicated because we are trying to make it fit what we already think it should say.

The Bible is full of teaching on various topics and instructions on how Christ intends for his church to operate.

One such teaching is the fact that He instructed that no one should be called rabbi, father, etc.

In Matthew 23:8-10, He is speaking to His disciples and the crowd that has gathered, informing them not to follow the ways of the Pharisees and how they do things to be “seen by men”.

Outside of the specific terms being used (there are entire religions built upon using these terms Christ speaks against), there is also an underlying message He is presenting.

Do not put yourself, or allow anyone to be put in a position of authority in your life that only belongs to God!

We have one Teacher, we have one Father, we have one Instructor…God

As an entrepreneur and advocate of self employment, getting a job doesn’t seem to make sense for me.

However, in this season of God’s will for my life that’s exactly what I did!

I explain in this video why I did it and what purpose God has used it for in my life. It may not be what you think, but this is just me sharing how He is working with and in in me currently.

I have no clue how long this season will last, I’m just trying to be obedient and learn all that God wants to teach me through this experience.
