What do we do when we come across an internet post targeting Christians but it seems off? Today I am walking through a post about deconstruction, what God honors, and the trajectory of two responses we can have when it comes to our questions and wrestlings. 

If this is your first time know that SPF exists to IDENTIFY the truth in God's Word in order to GROW a biblical Worldview so you can CULTIVATE fruitful Christian living.

The Post:
IG/Facebook Post: Larissa Lee 

"Deconstructing isn't a threat to God. God honors the wrestlers, the doubters, the honest. Deconstructing is a threat to the status quo, to power structures, to control mechanism. And those things never back down quietly. Press on dear questioners. It is not God who opposes you."

Deconstructing has become a popular term for those who were walking in a Christian evangelical lifestyle, but began to have doubts and questions about God and the Bible. The sad part is deconstruction might begin as a rejection of some truths in the Bible, but ultimately it leads many to a total rejection of Jesus and His atonement for sins on the cross.

Here's the red flag of Deconstruction when it comes to doubting, wrestling, and asking questions: Where do you go for answers? What is the trajectory of the attitude of the heart?

I want to juxtapose it with a Charles Spurgeon teaching on Psalm 25. There is a clear distinction in the attitude and trajectory of the heart.

“Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.”Psalm 25:5

When the believer has begun with trembling feet to walk in the way of  the Lord, he asks to be still led onward like a little child upheld by  its parent’s helping hand, and he craves to be further instructed in the  alphabet of truth. Experimental teaching is the burden of this prayer.  David knew much, but he felt his ignorance, and desired to be still in  the Lord’s school: four times over in two verses he applies for a  scholarship in the college of grace. It were well for many professors if  instead of following their own devices, and cutting out new paths of  thought for themselves, they would enquire for the good old ways of  God’s own truth, and beseech the Holy Ghost to give them sanctified  understandings and teachable spirits. “For thou art the God of my salvation.” The Three-One Jehovah is the Author and Perfecter of salvation to his people. Reader, is he the God of your  salvation?"
