Be Fair-Minded This entry was posted on 09-20-2006 and is filed under Devotional. "These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica,
in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the
Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so" (Acts 17:11
NKJV).
Having been forced to flee from Thessalonica, Paul and Silas came to Berea, where they taught the Word of God. The Bereans were a fair-minded people, and gave heed to their teaching. Not only that, they even "cross-referenced" Paul's teaching to make sure he was teaching accurately. We need to be as fair-minded as the Bereans. Always be ready to study the Word of God. Always "cross-check" what you are hearing with what the Word actually says. If more people would do this, fewer would be deceived by some cult or sect that uses mainly proof-texts in their teaching. A text without a context is a pretext. Let us follow the fine example of the noble citizens of Berea! Prayer/Song: Give me the Bible, Holy message shining; Thy light shall guide me in the narrow way; precept and promise, law and love combining, 'til night shall vanish in eternal day. (Priscilla J. Owens) |
