Hello SPBers, a new phase has opened for us here with the spiritual word, a little word to help you in your spiritual life!!! Read and Enjoy:
“A deadly jungle spider has
migrated to the US and is killing people.” This was the story sent to me
and to others on my friend’s email list. The story sounded
plausible—lots of scientific names and real-life situations. But when I
checked it out on reliable websites, I found it was not true—it was an
Internet hoax. Its truth could only be verified by consulting a trusted
source.
A
group of first-century believers living in Macedonia understood the
importance of confirming what they were hearing. The folks in Berea
“received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily
to find out whether these things were so” (Acts 17:11). They were
listening to Paul, and wanted to make sure what he was saying lined up
with the teachings of the Old Testament. Perhaps he was telling them
that there was evidence in the Old Testament that the Messiah would
suffer and die for sin. They needed to verify that with the source.
When
we hear spiritual ideas that disturb us, we need to be cautious. We can
search the Scriptures for ourselves, listen to trustworthy sources, and
seek wisdom from Jesus, our Lord.
Please
give us discernment, Lord, to accept only truth that is rooted in Your
Word. We praise You for preserving the inspired Scriptures for us—now
help us to use them to seek You.
God’s truth stands any test.
