Reason and Revelation

By J. W. Lowe

NEVER do anything without having a good reason, or a "Thus saith the Lord," for doing it.
Always prefer a "Thus saith the Lord" to your own reason. You might err in your reasoning; but God can not err.
Too many people do things from mere impulse. But our impulses can not always be depended upon.
We are expected to reason, and let it have a place in shaping our acts; but we should not allow ourselves to reason away from God.
Hence the importance of studying the word of God that we may acquaint ourselves with the right premises upon which to base our reasoning.
God's word is the only true guide-book for erring mortals; and he or she who reasons independent of this guide-book will often go astray. J. W. LOWE.
