Drop your concepts

I was reading the 4th message of Galatians life study and it says 15 times to "drop your concepts". It says another 6 times the word "concepts", like, "I'm worried that you hold on to concepts." So 21 times in a message he pushes the ideas of letting go of concepts. Another 5 times he uses the word "drop", like "drop the veils".

He says, "As we review our past experience, we shall have to admit that in our reading of the Bible we did not see much of Christ."

It seems as if he is de-legitimizing previous experiences as void. He is wiping away the slate. But, his ideas and teachings are not concepts but revelations. Previous understandings of scripture are imperiled; eventually the Bible itself can be held to be "concepts" of "fallen men".
