Good morning. Do we ever hear a good sermon and take it at face value or do we go back and search the scriptures for ourselves? The Bible declares; my people perish for a lack of knowledge. We all like good preaching but we should demand truthful preaching of the word. That’s why it’s important for us to know the word and study the word for ourselves, so that when someone gets up to preach we will know exactly what they’re talking about. The Bible declares; study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. The Bible also declares that all scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. We don’t have time for someone to tickle our ears and entertain us, we need the truth of the word of God.
Acts 17:11
And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing
