Several years ago, there was a disease that manifested called Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). More commonly referred to as "mad cow disease", this happened because greedy humans who in the hope of making their cattle more productive, started giving them commercial feeds which contained hormones and protein supplements. This caused the cows to develop BSE, which is infectious. In order to prevent an epidemic from spreading, a total of 4.4million cows had to be slaughtered in Britain alone.
So much for men trying to be smarter than God. Our creator had designed cows to be herbivores, and when scientists think they know better, they realise that even the foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of men.
Well, there is now a disease that is more subtle yet deadlier than "mad cow disease", and that is "confiused sheep disease". God had designed sheep to be fed the purity of the message of grace. However, some people think they are cleverer than God and are feeding their flock a mixture of law and grace. What results are sheep that are spiritually weak and confused. Worse yet, because they are being fed "the ministry of death written and engraved on stones".
If there is something worse than a spiritual famine, and that is spiritual food-poisoning. And the harmful effects sometimes takes several years to reverse. I have heard so many testimonies of sheep having to first unlearn the wrong before they could learn the right.
Let us continue to pray that God will intervene in a mighty way to prevent the further spread of Confused Sheep Disease. Amen?

From one who was suffering from the CSD and still on 'medication' ;p
AMEN indeed Malcolm.
I am thankful that my family is grazing and eating good food, protected by THE SHEPHERD'S rod and staff in the secret place of the most High. =)
It took me so many years to unlearn the legalism of the RC church I was born into, so I praise God that my son was fed grace from the start. =)
Despite the fact that the veil between God and man has been torn by the Son, it is sad that people still choose to veil themselves and to continue to build the walls that seperate them from their salvation.
May the Church as a whole learn to discern and pick out His voice from those of the false shepherds. AMEN!
