Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
The Bereans 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 17:11
We should establish the truth by Bible.
When we hear a preacher or another person speak a spiritual concept, we should develop a habit of going home and looking at that scripture and considering other scripture as the Holy Spirit brings that also to our minds.
It is not that we are trying to prove the preacher to be right or wrong. We are just establishing the doctrine through the Bible by the leading of the Spirit of God.
Much deception comes in the days before Jesus returns, according to Bible. Matthew 24; II Timothy 3.
Paul says: Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. I Thessalonians 5:21
I provide, in writing, these scriptures which I share with you so you can examine each scripture and pray and allow God to establish your thinking. I hope you will do that.
And I hope you will do this anytime you hear a preacher or anyone else speak Bible or doctrine.
