My Truth vs. His Word

This sounds humble—until you look closer.

You hear it everywhere now:
“I worship God in my own way.”
“My relationship with God is personal.”

A relationship with God that isn’t anchored in Scripture isn’t intimacy.
It’s imagination.

Most people don’t reject God outright. They redefine Him.
They keep what feels good—peace, comfort, affirmation—and quietly discard what confronts—repentance, obedience, surrender.

This is where false doctrine thrives.
Not in rebellion, but in selective agreement.

Two popular versions show up over and over:

Health, wealth, and prosperity—where God becomes a means to comfort instead of a Lord to obey.
Love-and-light spirituality—where grace exists without repentance and truth bends to feelings.

Different expressions. Same root.

Human will over God’s Word.

When someone says, “That’s just how I do my relationship with God,” what they often mean is, “I reserve the right to disagree with Him.”

That isn’t humility.
It’s pride—wearing spiritual language.

The danger isn’t ignorance. It’s authority drift.
Who has the final word—Scripture or self?

A real relationship with God will correct you, not just comfort you.
It will confront your pride, not affirm it.
It will call you to die before it ever makes you feel alive.

If your faith never challenges you,
you may not be following God at all—you may be following yourself.

And that god can’t save you.
