Held captive. ( Psalm 119 v14 - 24)

Martin Luther was tried before the emperor and religious dignitaries to recant of his 95 Theses,he asked for 24 Hrs to consider what he should do,this was granted to him.When he returned he was asked the same question he replied, 'My conscience is held captive by God's word'.  It would be wonderful if every minister would say that, but alas it is not so. unfortunately they are offended by the the truths that are there.Those who are called to minister God's word must not betray that trust,if they do they will be held accountable before God the result is many of God's children are confused .The word of God must be accepted for what it is,the word of God.There are things we don't understand but we are told not to lean upon our own understanding.We must see the scriptures as being unique,no other book compares to it.In that wonderful book we have a wonderful revelation of creation,and salvation,no other book has that.We also have God's moral boundries to break them  is a sin. Like Martin Luther ,'may our conscience be held captive by God's word'.
