These are a few thoughts that Todd Wagner, Senior Pastor of Watermark Community Church in Dallas, shared with staff today.  Some good concepts.

Why truth is better than experience:

Experience

• Experience is inconsistent from person to person
• Experience  can tell what happened but does not always explain why it happened
• Experience can be “misremembered”
• Experience can produce arrogance that isolates and separates us from others who have not endured or enjoyed similar events

Truth

• Truth is consistent
• Truth explains what, how and why
• Truth is always there and can be tested
• Truth unites and is available to everyone

Don’t let experience interpret Scripture.  Make sure Scripture interprets experience.
