Eat the Meat

I remember hearing this from Kris Valloton.

A lot of times we hear "eat the meat, spit out the bones" but most of the time, we don't. We need to just eat the meat. Even though Kris's context was about judging prophecy, even in teaching, we should still just "eat the meat".

What does that mean? Stop looking at the bones, and how bad the bones are, just eat the meat. If we are listening to 'dry' preaching or maybe even 'incorrect' teaching, we should not be looking at the bones and saying "well i can't eat THOSE, those are bones!". We should always honor those in authority, and you can honor them by "eating the meat", there is always something you can take from it, and when you eat the meat, you are left with bones. Just eat the meat. Don't worry about the bones, cause you won't be able to eat the bones anyway.

No one looks at a chicken, look at the bones to judge whether the meat is good or not. You just eat the meat. When we don't agree with a preacher, we honor so that we can partake in the reward that comes with honoring, and we also receive more blessing as as result if we just "eat the meat" instead of picking the bones and dwelling on them....
