Falling for the ideas and passing fancies of this lost world is a descent into the darkness of both ignorance and self-imposed delusion.

If you are struggling in your Christian faith, trying to decide all over again if God can be trusted, or if the Bible really holds truth, you are not alone.  All Christians, all human beings who choose to believe God and follow the Lord Jesus Christ, will be tested.  Your enemy, the devil, insists on putting your faith to the test.  And God, your Father in heaven, allows you to be tried as by fire, so that your faith will be both pure and strong.

The wisdom of God and truth of God is not something that flesh and blood in this world can see or comprehend.  Heavenly truth and wisdom must be revealed by the Holy Spirit, in part because the flesh is dead to God and righteousness, being cursed, and in part because God does not allow human mechanisms, such as humanly-engineered religion and philosophy to ever arrive at the kind of wisdom that opens our eyes and hearts to God's kingdom.  (Remember that Jesus told Nicodemus that he had to born again, of God's Spirit, to even be able to perceive the kingdom of God, much less enter into it.)

We first met Christ and began to follow Him by faith.  At some point in our lives we chose to believe God, and to allow Him to instruct us in life and faith.  We cannot, later on, gain very much by giving up that simple faith and deciding to follow unbelieving men or women to lead us in our search for greater understanding. 

Yes, an unbeliever may be able to help you learn how to paint your house or how to add numbers together.  But spiritual truth and the reality of the universe is known only to God who is the Author of all things.  What He reveals is good and trustworthy on every level.  What we human beings know, is only partial at best.

We must be careful, then, to always follow the Grand Teacher, our Lord Jesus, who knows all and who will reveal all, to the willing student and disciple.  Paul, the apostle who wrote much of the New Testament, addresses this very thing:

"As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ." (Colossians 2:6-8, NKJV)

And in his letter to the believers in Corinth, Paul writes:

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.  For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?  For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom;  but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.  For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.

But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence.

But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption — that, as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the LORD." (1 Corinthians 1:18- 31, NKJV)

God will help you to stay on track.  Always choose to remain with Him in the light and glory of Jesus Christ.
