Power for Abundant Living

That Man May Be PerfectWord tells us where we are off; it admonishes us forour wrong believing. No man has a right to reproveany other man. The Word of God has to do the reprovingbecause what I might allow in my life, somebodyelse might not allow in his life.Romans 14:22:Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God.Happy is he that condemneth not himself in thatthing which he alloweth.I have experienced people's reproof when they didnot like the ties that I wore, to cite one example. Iwas then moving among circles that taught if youoffend somebody by what you do, you should quitdoing it. So I got rid of the old tie and found out thatthe next tie offended someone else. I tried everywhich way to please people because people were reprovingme for wearing this or wearing that. I havecome to the place in my life that I am concernedabout what God thinks and not what people think. Itake my reproof not from what people say, but fromwhat The Word says. These Scriptures are Godbreathedand these Scriptures are profitable for rightbelieving. Where we are believing and acting wrongly,The Word reproves us.After doctrine and reproof, what is the third thingthe Scripture does? Not only does it teach us right85
