Becoming a Berean

Read the following verses from Acts Chapter 17;
Acts 17:10 ¶ The brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
Acts 17:11 Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.

We all need to be very careful when we listen to others who preach and teach the word. Especially those who have a flair to communicate and influence us with their speech. Therefore I am dedicating part of my blog this week to those in the church "universal" who seem to have some of the greatest influence.

My point is that we all must be like the Bereans when hearing the message. Take what is said and examine it under the "light" of the Scriptures.
