More Theological Confusion

Aim: To have our hearts and minds settled on Christ.

Doctrine: Where gospel preaching is absent, the void is filled by poor substitutes. People wander about from place to place when their beliefs are not centered on Christ.

Exegesis: How doctrinal error gets ''justified'' by religious folk: convenience is excused as providence (vv. 7-10); position is abused for expediency (vv. 11-12); disobedience is extolled as virtue (v. 13).

Further application: How serious Christians are to answer theological confusion: by not separating what God has joined together, but by uniting everything true around Christ and God's worship.

Key verse: v. 13 ''Then Micah said, 'Now I know that the Lord will be good to me, since I have a Levite as priest!'''
