"There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death." (Prov. 14:12) "O LORD, I know the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man who walks to direct his own steps." (Jer. 10:23)

I bought a video camera about a year ago. I'd used it for about ten minutes, then recharged it. I later learned that you should not recharge the battery until the energy is completely depleted. The first time you recharge it programs it for the future. I've got a battery pack that will last only ten minutes because I did what I thought was best, and did not pay attention to the one who designed the battery. (From Robert L. Russell)

In all matters of faith and practice, it is of utmost and severe importance that we follow God's instructions which are given in the holy Scriptures. We dare not follow that which seems right to us, and we need to denounce and reject all traditions and doctrines of men. Jesus said, "In vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men." (Matt. 15:9)
