Factchecking for Yourself
My apologies for light posting of late. The power outages really knocked me behind, and my book manuscript is due to the publisher in exactly one month—April 1.
Also, I’m planning on teaching an online Bible study on all this stuff on the next 2 Tuesdays, 8:00-8:45 PM. Mark your calendars.
When Paul and Silas show up in Berea (in Macedonia), they do what Paul always does—they first go to the synagogue to try and evangelize the Jews living in that place.
I love what Luke tells us about the Berean Jews:
“They received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.” [Acts 17:11]
It’s always amazing to me how often we just accept what people tell us without examining the scriptures for ourselves. This is one of the many reasons why I believe so strongly in daily Bible study—the more we know, the more we will be able to discern truth from falsehood in the world.
When’s the last time you investigated the scriptures for yourself?
