constantly surprised about how much Bible I can pull out of my brain on any given occasion, because I never actually went to Sunday school/religious formation. instead I spent my youth learning how to think. apparently this was preparation for being like the Bereans, who study Scripture and think on it for themselves? instead of, you know. imbibing someone else's interpretation from birth, I can read the Word in context, and I'm there because God really has called me, not because an adult decided the matter for me. only God has.

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." Acts 17:10-11, KJV "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." 1 Thessalonians 5:21, KJV "Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old." Matthew 13:52, KJV "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." John 5:39, KJV "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." 1 John 4:1, KJV "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."

Tradition or Truth?

I’ve been called a heretic more times than I can count. Not by people who know me, not by anyone who’s ever sat at my table or coached a Little League game with me. I’m called a heretic for one reason: I don’t repeat the doctrines people were raised on. I ask questions. I go back to the Scriptures themselves. And that makes some folks uncomfortable. But before you judge me, let me ask you…

Finding Confidence in Grief: Remaining in Him

Introduction: I opened 1 John 2:28-3:10 wanting to understand the difference between practicing righteousness and performing righteous acts. What does it mean that we’re known by our patterns, not our occasional actions? But as often happens I’m studying Scripture without an agenda, the Holy Spirit will had something more personal to show me. Verse 28 held my attention, “remain in him, so that…

BEREANS -- a poem and song by BBB 

#Poetry #Poem BEREANS by Bill Kochman https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry 02-13-2023 The faith of our fathers, Has become so distorted, So many false doctrines, Are commonly reported. It's been 2,000 years now, The Devil has had his way, You need to be very careful, With what some people say. Yes, do not just accept it, Is it contrary to His Book? If you are not real certain, Please take a closer look. Be like those wise Bereans, Who to Paul they gave ear, They checked the Scriptures, To make sure it was clear. But many Christians today, Have sadly become so lazy, Accepting false teachings, Tho they sound quite crazy. Deceiving & being deceived, Is this not what Paul wrote? Wolves in sheep's clothing, Of their wealth many gloat. Fleecing the Lord's flocks, They all live so very well, But the poison they preach, Comes from the pit of Hell. Thus, give due diligence, Doctrines of devils reject, Expose beliefs to the light, And then carefully inspect.
