The last Word

"When the Scripture speaks, and on whatever subject it speaks, it has the last word. All other voices are silenced in the presence of God's revelation." Gary E Gilley

    Today's guest philosophy was taken from Gary E Gilley's book 'This Little Church Had None' (EP Books) in which Gilley explores the danger of elevating pragmatism above the authority of scripture (p.105).

    He states, "Pragmatism, the god of "what works", is a creation of our own imagination and ingenuity. We must rest in the true God of the Word." p.109

    So that's what Gary says... What does the scripture say on the topic?

    "My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the LORD. "And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine." Isaiah 55:8

    and

    "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say,
    “He traps the wise
    in the snare of their own cleverness.”"
    1 Corinthians 3:19
