Monday, March 10

Do not go beyond the things that are written.—1 Cor. 4:6.

 

Jehovah gives us clear direction through his Word and through his organization. We have no reason to add to the instruction he provides. (Prov. 3:5-7) Therefore, we do not go beyond what is written in the Bible or make rules for fellow believers about personal matters. Satan employs “empty deception” and “the elementary things of the world” to mislead and divide people. (Col. 2:8) In the first century, these included philosophies based on human reasonings, unscriptural Jewish teachings, and the teaching that Christians must observe the Mosaic Law. These were deceptions because they took people’s attention away from the true Source of wisdom, Jehovah. Today, Satan uses the media and social networks to spread conspiracy theories and false news reports promoted by political leaders. w23.07 16 ¶11-12

You can't walk with God while holding hands with the Devil.

It's hard for people to not make rules - especially for other people.
