Eat the meat and spit out the bones!
A lesson that we all should learn,
For when we read and study all,
We should hold fast to what is firm.
The writings of the greats and near-greats,
They can be a source of inspiration,
But even they have made mistakes,
And sometimes need correction.
So let us not be too quick to judge,
But rather seek the truth with care,
For even those who stumble and fall,
May still have words that we can share.
The Holy Spirit is our guide,
And the scriptures are our light,
But other voices can enrich our lives,
If we choose to listen right.
So let us eat the meat and spit out the bones,
And hold fast to what is good,
For when we read and study all,
We'll find the truth, as we should.
About Brandan Kraft
Brandan Kraft is a computer programmer from the Missouri Ozarks who has been writing about the sovereign grace of God since 1997. He started with a website called bornagain.net, built it into PristineGrace.org, and has published over two hundred articles, nearly sixty songs, and a growing catalog of podcasts from his living room in Ashland, Kentucky. All without permission from anyone.
He holds no seminary degree, no denominational endorsement, and no theological credentials. He has been writing software for the same employer since 1998. He thinks in systems and believes that the sharpest doctrine should produce the widest arms.
His systematic theology, A Thought in the Mind of God, derives every position from one sentence and applies it across every domain - from ontology to eschatology, from the nature of the human mind to the nature of heaven and hell. It is available at pristinegrace.org/mind.
Brandan lives in Ashland, Kentucky with his wife Angie and their son Cole. He plays trombone in the Marshall University Tri-State Brass Band and changes a diaper twice a day on a cat named OJ who was once paralyzed and whom nobody else wanted.
