All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas  (1 Corinthians 3:22).

Here’s the great thing about following God:

You get the best of everything.

Think about it.  When you follow a person, you get the good, the bad, the ugly, the unpleasant, the less-than-acceptable, and the downright icky.  You also get the guilts if you decide to sample some teaching elsewhere, because folks tend to get pretty territorial.  So, you might miss out on some good teaching just because the person you’re tied to doesn’t ascribe to it.

But if you’re following Christ…

The very best that Paul or Apollos or Cephas or Ted or anyone else can come up with will simply be a reflection of God’s truth.  You’ll recognize it as such, because you’ll be so grounded in God’s Word that Truth will resonate and lies will nauseate.  

Hmm…Truth will resonate and lies will nauseate…I like that.

Anyway, follow Christ, Beloved.  The best of the rest will follow.

Happy Friday
