A Good Point is not Necessarily a Biblical Point
When God prepared Moses to go to His people, Moses doubted, repeatedly. One sign God gave for proof is Moses to sticking his hand inside his cloak, and when he takes it out, the hand is as white as snow. This illustrates Moses’s cold, unbelieving heart.
No it doesn’t. The hand was white because of disease, like leprosy.
But…my point is so “preachable”!?
Preachers and hearers, just because a point sounds good, even makes a helpful application, doesn’t mean it’s the point the text is making.
Let the Holy Spirit make the points. Beware what you think, say, and hear.
