The Word Must Lead Us, & not Us the Word by Alfred Shannon Jr.

We can’t put the cart before the horse, and then expect the horse to be of any benefit to us. Even so, we can’t put our opinions before God’s Word, and expect His Word to save us. It is not within man to direct his own steps, so why would we attempt to redirect the scriptures?  There is only one source to eternal life, and that is, God’s unchanging Word. Why lean upon the Word of God, and yet refuse to obey it. Trust it, believe it, obey it, and continue in it; for it is the Word that must lead us, and not us the Word.
