GERMS

One Christmas when I was a little girl. I caught a bug, that gave me Whooping cough so badly that I missed almost all of my Christmas holiday. I remember it so well, because I couldn't come out and do a thing on Christmas Day! Whatever germ had given it to me, had done a bang up job of ruining my Christmas....thank you very much!
When our body is invaded by anything foreign, like a germ,it reacts by going haywire! The warning bells go off!Your temperature skyrockets upwards; your insides get sick;
Things just aren't right all over!
The body of Christ is no different when a germ of "false doctrine" comes creeping into the church! When someone starts teaching false doctrine, the entire body should react like a sick body.....They shouldn't like it one bit, and want to get rid of it!
A sick person gets the germ out of them, and a church body will want to get the sick germ out of them too! Common sense tells us that this remedy isn't just chicken soup.
Nope!
It's taking the word of God, exactly as it's written and bathing
Yourself in it, again and again, until its aroma has refreshed the entire church!
