The Margin of Error

The Margin of Error

I love intricacies. I love to find out the little things that make life what it is and sometimes those things that don't let things be what they should be. I love to study the weaknesses of man and I have written some about the weakness phenomenon. How man revels in his weaknesses thinking they are his glory.

Until I discover my weakness, I don't have the control of my strength, for a little folly makes a reputation of wisdom to bring forth foul odour. A little leaven leaven the whole lump and it's the little foxes that destroy the vine. There's is the evil a little folly can do if not dealt with. My little weakness, if not separated and banished can become the controlling link of my strength...and what a master that would be!

People complain quite often that the big things they do for good isn't recognized while the little errors are never left unnoticed. It is the weakness of man. If it's good, we take is as normal, but a little error is abnormal that messes up a great reputation. The repercussions of the small errors outweighs the rewards of the regular good according to man's weak justice.

Take care of that 'little' that may mess up your greater good. A little deviation from the standard would produce a different result. A turning, just a little before or after the right turning will at least make the journey longer if not lead to an outright different destination. And life is a journey.

That's the strength of a little error. Science teaches about the margin of error in experimentation and beyond that range permitted you'll begin to experience significant differences in outcomes. What I noticed is that the margin of error is always very narrow in everything.

In the spirituals, I have noticed also that the margin of error comes the same way. It is also very narrow. The difference between light and darkness is almost invisible. The picture of a rising sun and a setting sun cannot be differentiated; in both, you see the sun in a romance grip with darkness. You may not know, except you were the photographer, if darkness was vomiting the sun at dawn or it was swallowing it at dusk. The margin is very thin and the difference isn't alway clear!

Between witchcraft and intercession is the same thin line. Both operate in the spiritual sphere and each operates to cause an effect on someone else. The effect of one will be good and that of the other evil but when both are in operattion you may even permit and practice the evil while the good is put in check, unknowingly! They look too much alike!

The problem with the little margin of error is the elastic effect they produce. An invisible germ swallowed as nothing will produce monumental life threatening outcomes that maybe difficult to handle. Such is what 'little' can do.  A little deviation from the truth of Christianity will produce another genre of religion with far reaching effect on the world. A little dilution from what Jesus brought will not produce what Jesus expects. Yet we play with that little margin daily under different excuses and licenses.

It's being difficult for many to see the thin line between Judaism and what Jesus brought, it's also a thin margin of positive deviation; but many often travel and forage back beyond the line, far into what is past before knowing the difference that they had gone far beyond the margin of acceptable error. Apostle Paul battled that thin line with Judaism and its legality which has no regards for the grace of Christ, all of his life, that the truth of the gospel might continue with us.

[My Offline Bible] Galatians 2
4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: 5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

The thin line and the small margin of error separate the truth from error. Always hard to locate but always necessary to locate. It's a line we often love to overlook and cover up. That margin unsettles us.

People who speak often of that line are often ostracized, and seen as unsocial and they are often unpopular. They are seen as the enemies of the common good and are never-do-wells. They are called the critics of the good and enemies of glory and the police of the church. But I'm sure Abraham will see much more at this time what crossing that line between the freewoman and the bondwoman could mean...the result is clear!

I see that God permitted that of Abraham to show us what far reaching effect crossing the line of that margin of error can produce. My daughter asked me a few days back if God was angry at Abraham going in into Agar! I never gave it a thought. But scriptures didn't say God was...He didn't have to, He can deal with the repercussions, we are the ones who can't...and here we are.

But we are often oblivious of the margin in our practice of godliness today. We don't take time to check for the margin of error so as not to cross the line. We are intolerant of those who might help us see...and God waits, watching as we practice all sorts calling everything Christianity.

Knowledge and understanding  stabilize out times. More knowledge and clearer understanding define the line for us and make it clearer and more visible. But knowledge and understanding must be within the context of a sincere heart and a deep passion for the truth of the gospel beyond any personal ambition or inordinate affection and lust. Knowledge and understanding must be cultured in the manure of the fear of God to keep us within the bounds of truth!

We must always remember what far reaching effect not being mindful of the margin of error in our Christianity can cause maybe not immediately but in the long run. When we stand before the judgment seat of Christ to receive what we have done in the flesh either good or bad...

This calls for a true heart seeking what the truth of the gospel is. A searching heart looking for what Jesus Christ expects. A sincere and fearless heart ready to confront the truth and accept it as true. A free spirit untied to whatever will bind the truth. An open heart that scrutinizes and embraces righteousness without guile...
We all need it...and it'll be peace to us and to our generations!

[My Offline Bible] Isaiah 33
6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
