\u201cNow the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.\u201d
Acts 17:11 NIV<\/b><\/p>\n


There is a tendency in the body of Christ to go from one extreme to the other in our spiritual walk. We either follow blindly behind those who lead us, or we rebel against everything that we don\u2019t want to hear. Neither approach is God-centered or Spirit-led. People of faith must know in what and in whom to place our faith. Only God and His word are infallible and altogether trust worthy. Our job is to believe that, humble ourselves, and draw near to Him through study, prayer, and worship. Christ is not bothered by our earnest, noble seeking\u2014and those whom He\u2019s called to lead us shouldn\u2019t be either.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Lord, Please remind us that we are not saved or kept by human opinions and ideologies. Give us noble hearts to listen, discern, and apply what\u2019s said, by the Spirit of truth within us. In Jesus\u2019 Name. Amen.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
