I Believed the Lie That I Should Test Spiritual Experiences Against My Theology
It sure seemed clear: Theology is what keeps us on the right path. So any new thing that comes along I should check with my theology to see if it lines. up. Could this be a wrong approach to living life? Since theology is yesterday's insights codified, does this approach keep me bound in the box of yesterday's revelations? Is this why religious people stoned the prophets (Matt. 23:34; Acts 7:51-53)? Is this why revivals die out? Is this why those who were part of the last revival so often react against the next revival God ushers in?
