___There will be many times when people will try to convince you that something you
know is true isn’t true.....or that something bad really isn’t bad.....or that something good
is actually bad. Things like that sound silly, but they happen all the time.
___People who don’t know the Bible very well or who don’t love the Lord, very frequently try to "reshape" truth and make it more to their liking. If you ever get confused about a subject, do your own investigating--go to the Bible. The Bible is completely accurate in its original manuscripts. God’s word is packed with wisdom for how to live a healthier, happier, more successful life. It is a firm foundation against which to test everything we hear and see. The Bereans even tested what the Apostle Paul said (Acts 17:11)!
___The Bible helps us figure out what things are good that we should cling to and what things are bad that we should avoid or repent from (Rom 12:9, Lam 3:40). God’s word never changes. It is never old-fashioned, regardless of what someone may try to tell you (John 1:1, Mal 3:6, Heb 13:8-9). Especially remember this. What hurt people centuries ago, still hurts people today--the rules God designed to protect us still apply.
___The more closely you study the Bible, the more you will learn. The Bible not only offers us a wealth of survival tools, it is the one source of absolute truth about life. It tells us the answer to many mysteries, the one way to get to heaven and even what will happen in the future. So get out your magnifying glass and "search out wisdom"!
Eccl 7:25 So I turned my mind to understand, to investigate and to search out wisdom and the scheme of things and to understand the stupidity of wickedness . . .
Is 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
