Transcript

In this thought-provoking message, Norbert Bohnert explores a subject that challenges our preconceived notions of what it means to be "right" on our spiritual journey. Drawing from powerful scriptures like 1 Corinthians 10 vs. 12, Mr. Bohnert highlights the subtle dangers of self-deception and the human tendency to always appear correct. He emphasizes that "doing right" and the "need to be right" are fundamentally different, and the latter can often lead us astray from God's intended path.

Mr. Bohnert encourages a profound shift in perspective, moving from a one-dimensional, inward-focused view of life to a humble, God-centered approach. He reminds us that God did not call us because we "had it all figured out," but rather to listen, learn, and grow. Through insightful references to Paul's letters and the teachings of Jesus in Matthew, Norbert Bohnert meticulously breaks down how our obsession with being right can hinder personal growth, lead to judgmental attitudes, and even create divisiveness within the community.

This message is a crucial call for self-examination, urging us to question our well-worn responses and instead ask, "Am I wise?" rather than "Am I right?" Mr. Bohnert highlights that true wisdom, as described in James 3, is characterized by humility, peace, gentleness, and a willingness to yield, steering clear of self-seeking ambition. Ultimately, Norbert Bohnert underscores that only through humility and a consistent reliance on God's Holy Spirit can we truly align with God's will and move forward on the path He has prepared for us.
