Read it,Know it,Pray it,and Live it

  Hello readers and blessings. What do you think? Should a person get advice about the bible from other people? Some may say sure what is the harm in that we are supposed to share the good news so what could go wrong. I will tell you what can go wrong false teaching! the person you just asked a serious biblical question to may give you the wrong idea about the particular passage and next thing you know your quoting what that person just said about the passage to some one else. It can spread that easy. A good solution to this is do not just ask the question and take the person at their word but read the scriptures yourself. Study the scriptures know them well and put the teachings of Christ in them to use. Christ taught mercy,forgiveness,and loving one another did he not? he taught charity and giving did he not use it! Let the love and light inspire you to do amazing things under his name. 

   Pray about it. If you have a question about the scriptures why not pray about it? pray for god's guidance in your life. Not saying discussing  scriptures among yourselves is bad but let god work in the conversation. Pray the scriptures even to the Lord it can be a great experience to pray and meditate upon scripture. 

    Live it! This means a church should teach the scripture and not spend an emphasis of time on a funny story or a joke from pulpits. Not saying you can not use examples scripture should be in your daily life but I do not know if you noticed or not when some people preach they will go off in to a tangent for 10 minutes about how a funny thing happened to them last week, a lot of times when stuff like this happens I feel the very spirit depart from the atmosphere during worship. Also put the teachings of mercy and caring for each other in to practice not just words. 

    Research church history about the church you join. Be careful about doctrines and play on words in doctrines. Remember eternal life with the Lord is at stake or an eternity below in the fires of the pits. The bible and scripture is serious and church doctrine should follow scriptures not a bunch of traditions. Traditions and doctrines do not save Christ saves! Believe and Rejoice in the Lord Amen!
