Acts 17:10-12
10: And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea:
who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11: These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the
word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether
those things were so.
12: Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks,
and of men, not a few.
So many of us listen to messages from Gods messengers without verifying what is said with the Word of God.
So many of us can quote man and not scripture. So many believe the messenger because of the confidence in their talk regarding what they are saying, that they don't verify what is said with the scriptures. When a man of God speaks we should all be like the Bereans who had enough sense to verify what Paul and Silas were saying with the scriptures. They received what they had to say with a eager and ready mind, but they searched the scriptures daily for verification. That is what the Lord wants us to do today and beyond. Because the Bereans and the surrounding ears that listened to Paul and Silas verified what was said in the scriptures, they were able to believe what came out of the mouths of these men with no compromise. That is why sound doctrine is no longer sound. We tend to listen to the sound of man and not the sound of Gods Word. We tend to verify with man what comes from man without seeking God for the answers. Everyone has a different walk with God which will result in a different talk from God. We all know the saying " You have to walk the walk, to talk the talk". Well your walk determines your talk. Simple! So the next time a messenger from God speaks, receive it with an open mind, but verify with the scriptures. It is the only source of truth. Let all those who have an ear, let them hear. Thus sayeth the Lord.
Behold, Jesus Christ is coming, are you ready? - Don't take my word for it, verify it in the Word of God!
