Let the Blind Leaders Alone!
Blind Leaders are going to lead others right into a ditch!
It is Still the Word of God, today.
“Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.” Matthew 15:14.
This is a song here that blessed me. Hope it will you.
What are we not seeing clearly as Christian leaders, today?
It is a bottom line oftentimes, as you call it.
Good morning.
When someone can’t see, they just can’t see.
They are ‘spiritually’ blind!
The LORD in the scripture was addressing the blind ‘leaders.’
* (Repeating again, read scriptures surrounding scriptures. Never hesitate to run references in The Bible.)
We had the Pharisees, etc. in the New Testament times.
We still do, today.
They are blind but they are still leaders!
If you are blind you sure shouldn’t be trying to lead other blind people.
It’s simple.
You will lead them wrong, right into a very ditch, a dangerous place!
Many leaders in churches are trying to influence others. Their hearts are not even pure.
Also some have dirty hands. and are living in sin!
We must consecrate and live Holy to The LORD.
“Who shall ascend into the hill of The LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from The LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.” Psalm 24:3-5.
There is also a Scripture of us casting our pearls before swine.
“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.” Matthew 7:6.
Still sometimes, we may be guilty trying give out too much meat to others!
They may just can not take on so much meat of the Word yet.
They just can’t see the truth of what you are trying to say to them, yet.
Then we often need to pull back and just feed that one on more milk.
“I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.” 1 Corinthians 3:2.
In closing, only The LORD can take the spiritual blinders off any of us!
It is by His grace alone, if we are seeing clearly!
Let us all pray for a sharper discernment of who to share spiritually truths with.
God bless you all.

Thank you for your encouragement Sandi, always.
The site here found that picture and I loved it too. It seemed to make the point better. Pictures seem to frame our words often times.
