What Guides You?

What’s guiding your faith—tradition, opinion, or truth? Many today are led by family, friends, or popular trends, but God calls us to follow His Word alone. Man-made teachings fall short, while the Bible reveals God’s will and the path to eternal life.

From the archives: A powerful word from Brother Malcolm Hill, the founding president of Tennessee Bible College and the original voice behind One Gospel Minute.

My friend, what guides you in religion?
Do your parents guide you?
Could it be that your family—othermembers of the family—guide you?
Or is it a friend or friends?
Could it be that the majorityof the people, what they're
doing, guides you in religion?
Or maybe the minority?
Or maybe it's what's popularor what you like in religion?

I ask the question (00:20):
What guides you in religion?
Now, man-made teachings arein vain (Matthew 15:1-7).
God wills that we follow theBible—that's why He gave it to us.
And when we fail to follow it, weare not doing what He wills (II
Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:3;Galatians 1:6-9; Revelation 22:18-19).

(00:47):
Now to fail to follow the Bibleis for one to lose his own soul.
