       Paul said that now, “we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.” A lot of Christians have formulated a new law out of the New Testament. They have created certain rules and guidelines to live by, and they follow those, believing the are gaining God’s approval and being pleasing to him. I think these people are afraid of follow the leading of the Spirit. They like everything all figured out and written down. They don’t want to follow a prompting of the Spirit. The question is always, “Well, what if I’m wrong. What if I thought the Holy Spirit was telling me to do this or that, and I do it, and I’m wrong.” Then, guess what? You’re wrong. But I would rather do something and be wrong, then not do something at all because I’m too afraid. As Theodore Roosevelt has taught us in the past, it’s better to try something and be wrong than to not try at all. Then someone might say, “But that’s not safe. I want to play it safe. I don’t want any unnecessary trouble.” Then you’re in the wrong group. God often doesn’t play things safe.
