Introduction
If you’ve spent any time scrolling through Instagram or TikTok, you’ve likely come across someone claiming, “Did you know this isn’t actually in the Bible?” or “The church held me back, here’s my truth.” These posts often wear the mask of innocent curiosity or shared pain. But underneath, there’s a consistent agenda: targeted doubt aimed at Christians who haven’t yet built their foundation on the Word. These messages aren’t just questions, they’re weapons wrapped in hashtags and victimhood.
This is why we need to talk about deconstruction and more importantly, reconstruction.
At its core, deconstruction is not inherently evil. The difference lies in the heart behind it. Are we asking questions to escape truth or to refine our understanding of it? Are we trying to break free from God’s design, or are we asking the hard questions so we can be sanctified in His truth (John 17:17)? Jesus never shied away from questions, He welcomed the humble seeker. But there’s a stark contrast between honest examination and the kind of rebellion that mirrors the heart of the one who comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10).
I’ve personally walked this road. My book, A Nobody’s Opinion, was birthed from a season of deep reevaluation, not because I wanted to abandon the faith, but because I was desperate to anchor my beliefs in the Word of God alone. True truth, the kind that sets us free (John 8:32), is not afraid of scrutiny, it invites it.
The problem today isn’t asking questions. It’s asking the wrong questions in the wrong way. Deconstruction has become a trend where “truth” is subjective, Scripture is cherry-picked, and the loudest voice often wins. Healthy reconstruction, however, will humble you, break you, and rebuild you, not into a version of yourself, but into the image of Christ (Romans 8:29).
That’s why this conversation has to start with Scripture. If we lean on our own understanding, we’ll crown ourselves as the highest authority (Proverbs 3:5-6), and that throne was never ours to take. Cultural trends can’t be our compass. Emotions can’t be our gospel. We must return to the Word and the understanding of those who walked closest to the apostles, the early Church.
My prayer is that this post equips you to rebuild your foundation with conviction and clarity. That it encourages you to stand firm against heresy, confusion, and cultural decay. And that it reminds you of your charge: to be ready to defend the faith (1 Peter 3:15).
Whether you are currently wrestling with questions, watching others fall away, or seeking to help loved ones through their doubts, I trust that if you’re here, the Holy Spirit has brought you here. Let’s begin.
What is Deconstruction?
The word deconstruction has gained momentum across Christian circles, especially among younger generations, exvangelicals, and influencers on social media. But what does it actually mean? And is it always bad?
At its core, deconstruction simply means pulling something apart to examine its structure. That can be healthy when done with humility, Scripture, and the goal of refinement. But increasingly, we are seeing another version, one driven by emotion, cultural rebellion, or disillusionment, where faith is not examined for truth but torn down altogether.
Paul tells the church in Corinth to do this very kind of self-examination, but with the right heart. “Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith. Examine yourselves. Or do you yourselves not recognize that Jesus Christ is in you? unless you fail the test” (2 Corinthians 13:5, CSB). He’s not encouraging doubt. He’s encouraging clarity. This kind of testing is meant to reaffirm and refine what we believe, not to destroy it.
True biblical faith invites scrutiny and discernment. In fact, Scripture commands it: “Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1, CSB). Deconstruction should never be about “breaking free” from the gospel, it should be about removing the lies, the traditions of men, and the misunderstandings that have been added to it.
Today, though, the deconstruction movement has become something else entirely. It has become a stage for prideful tearing down, often publicly, and without accountability. Proverbs 14:12 warns us: “There is a way that seems right to a person, but its end is the way to death” (CSB). Just because something feels liberating or “authentic” doesn’t mean it is aligned with God’s truth.
And that’s the heart of the problem.
Many who deconstruct are not searching for truth; they are searching for autonomy. They seek freedom, but not the kind that Christ offers. Instead of testing ideas against Scripture and early church wisdom, they lean on their own understanding (Proverbs 3:5), influenced more by TikTok soundbites than biblical doctrine.
This is why Paul warned Timothy so strongly: “For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, will multiply teachers for themselves because they have an itch to hear what they want to hear” (2 Timothy 4:3, CSB). We are living in that time.
There is a spiritual cost to walking away from truth, and sadly, many walk away from tradition without ever having been grounded in biblical theology to begin with. The writer of Hebrews lamented this kind of spiritual immaturity, saying, “Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the basic principles of God’s revelation again. You need milk, not solid food” (Hebrews 5:12, CSB).
To be clear, it is not wrong to ask questions. The problem is when we ask questions with the intent to destroy, rather than the intent to build. The devil is the great accuser, the destroyer (John 10:10). But the Spirit of Christ builds, refines, restores, and reconstructs us in truth and grace.
Deconstruction should be a refining fire, not a demolition site.
Test Test Test
We live in a world full of voices, pastors, influencers, theologians, skeptics, former Christians, cultural commentators, and TikTok “truth tellers.” The question is no longer “Are we hearing something?” but “Are we testing what we’re hearing?”
Testing is not optional for the believer. It’s essential. Scripture doesn’t say to passively absorb or emotionally react, it says to test everything.
“But test all things. Hold on to what is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21, CSB).
This command follows Paul’s instruction not to despise prophecy, but to examine it. Why? Because even well-meaning voices can be wrong and false prophets often sound convincing. The early church didn’t accept teachings blindly. The Bereans in Acts were called “noble” because they examined the Scriptures daily to see if what Paul said was true (Acts 17:11). That’s the model.
Testing begins with God’s Word and ends with God’s Word. We’re not told to test things by our emotions, or what “feels right.” We’re told to anchor our discernment in Scripture and prayer.
Jesus Himself warned in Matthew 7:15-20 that false teachers come in sheep’s clothing. That means they look and sound like us but their fruit reveals the truth. That’s why 1 John 4:1 commands us: “Test the spirits to see if they are from God” (CSB). This isn’t talking about ghosts or vague “vibes.” The word “spirit” here refers to the guiding message or disposition behind a person’s teaching. In biblical Greek, the word used is pneuma (πνεῦμα) meaning spirit, breath, or wind. It refers to something that animates a person, what’s truly driving their words and actions.
The early church didn’t just preach Christ, they tested everything by His Word and the Spirit of truth. Today, many have lost that habit. We scroll, we watch, we react but we rarely test.
And here’s the truth: if you don’t test what you hear, you’ll fall for what you feel.
Feelings can deceive. Emotions can lead astray. But the Word of God stands unshaken.
That’s why Hebrews 5:14 says mature believers have “their senses trained to distinguish between good and evil.” Discernment isn’t automatic, it takes practice. It takes effort. It takes Scripture.
And this applies to everything, not just to big theological movements, but the small things: the Instagram post, the casual comment from a friend, the advice in a podcast, even your own inner voice. Test it. Does it align with the Word? Does it reflect the Spirit of Christ? Does it produce humility, repentance, and love, or does it stoke pride, rebellion, or self-exaltation?
If we don’t test our beliefs, we’ll build our house on sand (Matthew 7:24-27). But if we do (if we measure everything by God’s Word) we can hold fast to what is good, discard what is false, and stand firm no matter what storm comes.
What Should We Deconstruct?
If deconstruction is meant to tear down lies and rebuild on truth, then the first question we must ask is: what exactly needs to be torn down? The answer is not everything, but rather, everything that doesn’t align with the Word of God.
Jesus Himself gives us a blueprint for this. When He confronted the Pharisees, He accused them of “nullifying the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down” (Matthew 15:6, CSB). Their religious traditions looked holy on the outside, but they hollowed out God’s commands. It’s a perfect example of why we must test everything we believe (especially long-standing ideas and church practices) by the standard of Scripture, not just by historical repetition or popularity.
Paul warns us in Colossians 2:8 not to be taken captive “through philosophy and empty deceit based on human tradition, based on the elements of the world, rather than Christ.” The Greek word for “taken captive” is sylagōgeō, which refers to being kidnapped or led away as plunder. It’s a clear reminder that not all teaching that sounds deep is grounded in truth. Some ideas are clever lies dressed in religious language. We must examine what we’ve been taught, not in pride but in humility, asking: Is this from God or from man?
We should also deconstruct false gospels, messages that add to or subtract from the gospel of Christ. Paul says it plainly in Galatians 1:6-9: if anyone preaches a different gospel than what has already been given, “let him be accursed.” This includes gospels of self-help, prosperity, legalism, hyper-grace, and cultural affirmation. Each of these twists God’s Word into something more palatable (or more profitable) but not more true.
Likewise, Revelation 2:4-5 reminds us that even churches that start strong can drift. The church at Ephesus had correct doctrine, but they lost their love for Christ. Jesus calls them to repent and return to their first love or risk their lampstand being removed. This is a call not just to guard theology but to guard intimacy with Christ. If your foundation is correct doctrine without Christ at the center, you’re still building in vain.
We must also deconstruct personal and cultural idols: theologies that are shaped more by emotion, experience, or politics than by Scripture. Whether it’s nationalism, identity politics, or even Christian celebrity culture, anything that claims our loyalty above Christ must be torn down. As Paul wrote, “We demolish arguments and every proud thing that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to obey Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5, CSB). The Greek for “arguments” here is logismos, referring to reasonings, ideologies, and systems of thought that oppose the truth.
This is why healthy deconstruction must be led by the Spirit and grounded in the Bible. Jeremiah 6:16 says, “Stand by the roadways and look. Ask about the ancient paths, ‘Which is the way to what is good?’ Then take it and find rest for yourselves.” The early church didn’t need fog machines or platforms, they had Christ and His Word. We must return to that kind of clarity.
Ultimately, what should be deconstructed is not the faith itself, but every false thing that has been built on top of it.
What Should We Not Deconstruct?
While deconstruction can be healthy when it tests traditions, biases, or denominational customs against Scripture, we must be extremely cautious not to tear apart the very foundation of our faith. There are non-negotiables in Christianity, truths that are not up for debate, editing, or reinterpretation. To deconstruct these is not to refine our faith, but to walk away from it altogether.
Jude pleads with believers to “contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 1:3). This faith, the good news of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection, is not a living document we can revise; it is a revealed truth we are called to preserve. As Paul reminds us, “Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures… he was buried… and he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). These gospel truths are the immovable anchor of our hope. We don’t get to reimagine the essentials of salvation because they were never man’s to invent in the first place.
It’s also dangerous to deconstruct the authority of Scripture. Paul writes clearly that “All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16-17, CSB). Scripture is not a collection of ancient opinions to be adapted, it is God-breathed truth that shapes our minds and lives. To chip away at its authority is to place ourselves above it.
Jesus warned of those who would elevate man-made traditions above God’s Word, saying, “You have nullified the Word of God because of your tradition… This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines human commands” (Matthew 15:6-9, CSB). What we must not deconstruct is the unchanging foundation of God’s Word and His commands.
Paul echoes this in his letter to the Galatians: “Even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, a curse be on him!” (Galatians 1:8-9, CSB). The gospel does not evolve. It does not bend to culture or trend. If the gospel we believe has changed from the gospel Christ gave, it is no longer the gospel.
The same applies to the nature of Christ and the identity of God. Jesus declared, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6, CSB). This singular, exclusive claim is not up for reinterpretation. Any attempt to dilute the necessity of Christ or redefine the nature of God is not deconstruction, it is desertion.
Peter likewise reminded the church that “no prophecy of Scripture comes from the prophet’s own interpretation, because no prophecy ever came by the will of man; instead, men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit” (2 Peter 1:20-21, CSB). We must resist the temptation to recast Scripture through a modern lens of comfort or cultural acceptance.
Finally, Hebrews 13:8 reminds us, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” The truths of the Christian faith do not change. Our understanding may deepen, but the gospel remains unshaken. If what we are deconstructing undermines the gospel, the nature of Christ, or the authority of Scripture, we are not reconstructing, we are replacing truth with a counterfeit.
Let us not fall for what Paul calls “philosophy and empty deceit based on human tradition, based on the elements of the world, rather than Christ” (Colossians 2:8, CSB). Reconstruction done right begins with reverence for the truth that has already been revealed and trusting that what God has spoken, He meant.
How to Reconstruct
When the foundation cracks, it must be rebuilt. Not with the cheap bricks of culture or the brittle wood of emotion, but with the solid rock of Christ and His Word. Once deconstruction exposes error or weak structure in our faith, we can’t leave the space empty. We are called to rebuild, refine, and reform with clarity, maturity, and obedience.
Reconstruction begins in the mind, not with feelings. Paul writes, “Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” (Romans 12:2, CSB). This isn’t about mimicking the latest trending ideology, it’s about training our thoughts and worldview to align with God’s will. That means re-learning how to think, how to process truth, and how to reject the false gospels that often sound appealing but lead to ruin.
Jesus emphasized this when He said that the one who hears and obeys His words is like a man who built his house on rock. When the storms came, that house stood firm (Matthew 7:24-27). This isn’t just metaphor, it’s a model. If our new faith structure is built on Him and His Word, we will stand. If we reconstruct on feelings, experience, or tradition alone, we build on sand.
How do we practically begin this process? Start with the Word. Let God speak first. Paul instructs Timothy, “Be diligent to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who doesn’t need to be ashamed, correctly teaching the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15, CSB). Study isn’t a side task, it is the backbone of true reconstruction. But study with wisdom: not every argument is worth entering, and not every tradition is worth keeping. We study so we can rightly divide the truth, not so we become proud of our knowledge.
Like the Bereans, we must test everything by Scripture. Acts 17:11 praises them because they “received the word with eagerness and examined the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.” Their posture wasn’t skeptical rejection, but active testing. That is the spirit of healthy reconstruction: take nothing at face value, but bring it all before the light of Scripture.
But don’t stop at knowledge. James warns us not to become “hearers only, deceiving yourselves” (James 1:22, CSB). Reconstruction isn’t complete until it bears fruit. Faith without action is dead. As you rebuild, make sure your life reflects the truth you’ve come to know. Live it out. Walk it out. Practice what you preach.
Scripture is your lamp in this process. Psalm 119:105 reminds us, “Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light on my path.” If we reconstruct by His light, we won’t stumble. If we rely on our own feelings, we’ll end up lost in the dark.
Finally, Ephesians 4:11-14 shows us that we’re not meant to reconstruct alone. God gave the church apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers to equip us. Why? So that we will “no longer be little children, tossed by the waves and blown around by every wind of teaching.” (v. 14). Solid faith isn’t easily shaken. When rebuilt on the truth, we grow up into maturity and unity, no longer vulnerable, but steadfast.
True reconstruction isn’t flashy. It isn’t fast. It is patient, thoughtful, prayerful, and anchored in Christ. It is the rebuild that lasts.
The Dangers in Modern Deconstruction
Not all who deconstruct are seeking truth, many are seeking validation for walking away from it. Today’s digital culture rewards those who throw stones at tradition, authority, and Scripture, especially when it’s packaged with emotional storytelling and just enough half-truth to sound convincing. But not all deconstruction is created equal. Some of it is dangerous. And we need to be ready to recognize it.
One common red flag is the phrase, “God told me…” followed by a statement that directly contradicts Scripture. These influencers often appeal to personal revelation or mystical experience that bypasses the Bible. But Scripture warns us, “Even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, a curse be on him!” (Galatians 1:8, CSB). God does not contradict Himself. He has spoken clearly through His Word, and no dream, emotion, or TikTok reel overrides that.
Another common tactic is emotional victimhood masquerading as spiritual awakening. You’ve probably seen it: “Did you know this verse doesn’t mean what you were taught? Here’s the truth they didn’t want you to know…” But in nearly every case, their “truth” is not rooted in historical theology or biblical exegesis, it’s based in modern ideology and a desire to justify sin. As Paul warned, “For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, will multiply teachers for themselves…” (2 Timothy 4:3, CSB). When people want a different gospel, there will always be someone willing to sell it.
A third red flag is the elevation of man-made traditions or cultural justice movements over the commands of God. Jesus Himself condemned this when He said, “You have nullified the word of God because of your tradition” (Matthew 15:6, CSB). If someone tells you that historical Christianity is oppressive and that the “real gospel” is about affirming modern identities or dismantling systems, yet they ignore personal repentance, sin, and the lordship of Christ, they’ve rebranded the gospel. And it’s no longer the gospel at all.
We also see deconstructionists redefining key doctrines like the divinity of Christ, hell, sexuality, and salvation. They’ll claim that “love wins” means no one will be judged. Or that “God is love” means He approves of all lifestyles. These are emotional slogans, not biblical theology. True love warns of the cliff ahead, it doesn’t cheer you off it. “Let no one deceive you with empty arguments,” Paul writes in Ephesians 5:6. “For God’s wrath is coming on the disobedient because of these things.”
So how do we spot dangerous deconstruction? Here are a few diagnostic questions:
– Does this teaching elevate personal experience over Scripture?
– Does it minimize or redefine sin?
– Does it suggest the Bible is flawed, outdated, or merely symbolic?
– Does it replace repentance with affirmation?
– Does it dismiss 2,000 years of Christian witness in favor of “new revelation”?
If the answer is yes to any of these, be cautious. The enemy has always twisted the truth just enough to make it feel right (Genesis 3:1). He doesn’t always attack the gospel head-on, sometimes he just slightly edits it.
We are not called to mock those who deconstruct. Many are genuinely confused, hurt, or seeking. But we are called to “test the spirits to see if they are from God” (1 John 4:1) and to “contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 1:3). If deconstruction is leading someone away from the cross instead of toward it, it’s not refining, it’s rebellion.
Discernment is not optional. And neither is truth.
Reconstruction in Scripture By Scripture
The call to reconstruct is about returning to what was never meant to be torn down. True reconstruction builds upon the foundation that was already laid in Christ and His Word. And this process isn’t just modern, it’s biblical. Scripture gives us clear examples of individuals and communities who reevaluated, corrected, and rebuilt their faith according to God’s Word, not apart from it. For this, I will break this down into sections.
Biblical Examples of Reconstruction
King Josiah (2 Kings 22-23):
When the Book of the Law was found in the temple, Josiah didn’t dismiss it as outdated. He tore his clothes in grief (2 Kings 22:11) and reoriented the entire kingdom around God’s revealed will. He removed idols, destroyed false altars, and reinstituted the Passover, all because he measured truth by Scripture, not culture or tradition. That is biblical reconstruction: recognizing where you’ve gone astray and realigning with God’s Word.
Ezra and Nehemiah (Nehemiah 8-9):
After the exile, the people of Israel gathered to hear the Law read aloud. They listened for hours, wept at their disobedience, and committed to change. Ezra and Nehemiah led not just a rebuilding of walls, but of hearts and worship. They didn’t create something new, they restored what was forgotten. “They read from the book of the law of God, clearly, and they gave the sense, so that the people understood the reading” (Nehemiah 8:8, ESV).
Peter After Denial (John 21):
Peter’s reconstruction came not after walking away from religion, but after denying Christ Himself. Yet Jesus didn’t shame him, He called him back. “Do you love me?” Jesus asked three times, paralleling Peter’s three denials. And then He gave Peter a commission: “Feed my sheep” (John 21:17). True reconstruction acknowledges failure but leads to restored purpose through grace and obedience.
Paul (Acts 9):
Saul (Paul) believed he was zealous for God, yet he was persecuting Christ. His radical encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus didn’t lead him to invent a new gospel. Instead, it redirected him to the very One he was persecuting. He spent years in study (Galatians 1:17-18), compared his gospel to the apostles (Galatians 2:1-2), and ultimately proclaimed the same truth, just with new eyes.
Early Church Fathers on Returning to Scripture
Irenaeus of Lyons (c. 180 AD) argued strongly against Gnostic distortions of Christianity by anchoring his theology in the teachings passed down from the apostles. In Against Heresies, he didn’t encourage reinvention, he called believers back to “what was handed down” and proclaimed universally in the churches.
Athanasius (296-373 AD) fought for the divinity of Christ against the Arian heresy, not by crafting new doctrines, but by defending what Scripture revealed from the beginning. His words in On the Incarnation affirm that any reconstruction must stay rooted in the unchanging nature of Christ and Scripture: “The Scriptures are sufficient of themselves for the preaching of the truth.”
Tertullian (155-220 AD) warned against mixing philosophy with Scripture, stating: “What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?” a reminder that Christian truth must be reconstructed from God’s Word, not worldly ideas.
Building on the Rock, Not the Sand
Reconstruction must be done with Scripture, by Scripture, and through Scripture. Jesus said plainly: “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock” (Matthew 7:24, ESV). He did not say to reinvent the foundation, He said to build on His words. Paul echoes this: “Let each one take care how he builds upon it. For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 3:10–11, ESV).
The Word of God isn’t a wreckage site, it’s the blueprint. Real reconstruction doesn’t result in a faith that “feels better.” It produces one that is tested, refined, and aligned with Christ.
Don’t be Discouraged!
Let’s be honest, this journey isn’t easy. Deconstruction is often painful, and reconstruction can be slow. It may feel like everything is crumbling. You might even feel like a failure for not “getting it right” sooner. But Scripture and history tell a different story: God isn’t done with you, and this refining process is not the end, it’s evidence that your faith is being made real. As the same way I once stood prideful in my knowledge I now bend a knee before Christ and say I am nothing and know nothing without Christ.
Throughout the Bible, some of the most faithful servants experienced moments of crisis, doubt, or collapse before they stood strong in the truth. Peter denied Christ, Thomas doubted His resurrection, and Elijah, after witnessing miraculous victories, still begged God to let him die in despair (1 Kings 19:4). But in each case, God met them with patience, correction, and renewal. The breaking wasn’t the end, it was the beginning of a deeper faith.
The author of Hebrews reminds us: “No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it” (Hebrews 12:11, CSB). Let your hardship produce fruit, not bitterness.
If you’re wrestling, if you’re refining, if you’re rebuilding, remember that you’re not the only one. This isn’t a solo act. Christ walks with us in the fire, just as He stood with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the furnace (Daniel 3:25). You don’t have to be perfect to be loved by God, you just have to keep seeking Him.
Paul tells the church in Galatia: “Let us not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up” (Galatians 6:9, CSB). And James affirms: “Blessed is the one who endures trials, because when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life” (James 1:12, CSB). The promise is not to those who never waver, it’s to those who endure till the end and return to Christ.
Jesus never said, “Follow me only when you understand everything.” He said, “Follow me” (Matthew 4:19). That invitation still stands. The enemy wants to shame you into giving up. He’ll say, “You’re too far gone,” or “You’ve doubted too much.” But Christ says, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28, CSB).
Reconstruction is not about getting all the answers perfectly, it’s about getting back to the truth that Jesus is still enough. Your faith doesn’t have to look like someone else’s timeline. What matters is that your roots are growing deeper in the right soil: Scripture, prayer, fellowship, and obedience. Even mustard-seed faith can move mountains (Matthew 17:20).
Conclusion
Deconstruction is not the enemy, destruction is. We were never called to blindly follow tradition or culture, but to test everything, hold onto what is good, and build our lives on the solid foundation of Christ and His Word (1 Thessalonians 5:21; Matthew 7:24–27). The process of deconstructing unhealthy or unbiblical beliefs can be holy, when done through Scripture, prayer, and guidance from the Spirit, not from pride, rebellion, or emotion.
This journey isn’t just about identifying lies, it’s about returning to truth. It’s about filtering every doctrine, tradition, and spiritual experience through the lens of God’s Word, not through the lens of trauma, culture, or modern trend. The early church didn’t guess at truth, they clung to the gospel that was once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 1:3), and so should we.
If you’ve torn something down, rebuild it in Christ. If your foundation is cracked, strengthen it with Scripture. If you feel alone or weary, remember: the Holy Spirit is with you, and the Church (the true Church) is here for you.
Reconstruction isn’t about finding your truth, it’s about returning to the Truth.
Let this be a call not to walk away, but to walk deeper. With that, I pray that this post helps you brother or sister to grow, learn, and follow Christ. With much love – Jason Cooper
