Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

 (2Th 2:15)  “Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.”   Notice he is not referring to the traditions of men, but those of God given by “word” (revelation) or in writing (epistles). We need to be wise when casing aside a “tradition”, for we may very well be casing aside something done with a good sound Biblical reason. Music is one area. People think of music as ‘amoral’. It is not. I have one goal when ministering the gospel, exalting the spirit. Music can move the flesh. The Bible plainly says, (Gal_5:17)  “For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.” Wouldn’t to intentionally stir the flesh be working against my desire to exalt the spirit? Be careful when casting aside traditions.
