🧐 Open-Minded Christianity 🧠

Are you open-minded or narrow-minded?  The modern world says that if you are open-minded, you are accepting, tolerant, unbiased and understanding; you are just a wonderful person. But if you are narrow-minded, you are bigoted, conservative, opinionated, reactionary and intolerant; you are some kind of jerk.  So, we know what the answer is supposed to be. Let’s all be open-minded.

But is that always a good idea? When I hire someone one to do a job for me, I want him to be pretty narrow-minded.  I want him to do the job as I have asked him to do it.  Narrow mindedness in lesser matters is good, but many condemn it in matters of faith and morals.

Let’s face it. Christians are supposed to be narrow-minded about God’s truth. We believe God has spoken in his Word and that his Word is settled and is to be is to be obeyed, not debated.
