“Pull Off The Knob”
Submitted By Gary Culbreath
The story is told of a man who once bought a new radio, brought it home, and placed it on top of the refrigerator. He then plugged it in, turned it to WSM in Nashville, TN (home of the Grand Ole Opry), and proceeded to do the most unusual thing. He pulled all the knobs off! He had decided that was the only station he ever wanted to hear.
Perhaps if more of us in the world would do this in regard to the Word of God, we would have a lot less religious confusion in the world today. Too many are tuning in to every “channel” of doctrine. Paul warns, “be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to de-ceive” Eph. 4:14. We must turn only to God’s channel, His Holy Word for our direction. This is why Jeremiah declared, “O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his footsteps” Jeremiah 10:23.
