I am in the midst of teaching our church some foundational truths that are Biblically sound. There seems to be so many opinions, ideas, philosophies, theories, and certainly traditions that are promoted and believed in more than the actual words of God.

When you read (Acts 17) and interesting principle is revealed when Paul and Silas went into Berea. The Bible says in (Acts 17:11) that the Bereans were "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." Did you catch that? The people who listened to Paul and Silas did two things with what they heard: one, they received the WORD with all readiness of mind, and two, they searched THE SCRIPTURES daily to see if they were true! If people would just read the WORD (NOT a book about the WORD, but THE WORD) with an open mind to let it say EXACTLY what it SAYS, and NOT drag their opinion, their next door neighbor's opinion, their momma's opinion, the TV Evangelists opinion, they might not be so confused. Also, by reading the WORD, and studying the WORD daily and not some "other" book about the WORD, you'd be able to see whether what "the preacher" was saying is found in the WORD and therefore, true!

This series of lessons should not be believed on because I taught them. This series of lessons should be believed because the Bible declares these truths to be so. I'm NOT attempting to pass out "the Kool-aid" or "brainwash" anybody. This series is about teaching those who will receive the WORD with a ready mind and search the WORD daily to make sure they're on The Foundation!

I will post each week's lesson notes as a separate Blog entry.

May God impart understanding and His Spirit bring Revelation to those who are hungry,
