We have more access to sermons, teachers, books and Christian content than ever before.

But are we still reading the Word for ourselves?

In this episode, I’m challenging you to examine some of the phrases, teachings and beliefs you’ve accepted as biblical and test them against what the Bible actually says.

• How many things do you say or believe are Scripture when they are actually someone else’s interpretation?
• Could mixing Old Covenant and New Covenant teaching be creating confusion in the way you understand God and His Word?
• What happens when Scripture is taken out of context and used to control, manipulate or place demands on people that God never intended?
• Have you ever discovered that something you believed for years wasn’t actually what the Bible said?
• Are you willing to question familiar Christian language and go back to the Word to see what God actually said?

We cannot use error to correct error.

The entrance of God's Word brings light. So rather than relying only on what you have heard from a preacher, teacher, book or another person, go back to Scripture for yourself.

What Next?

• Write down some of the phrases you regularly use in prayer or conversation that you believe come from Scripture.
• Search the Bible and see what the Word actually says.
• Ask God what He intended when He said it and allow the Holy Spirit to lead you into truth.
• Share this episode with someone who needs the reminder to get back to the Word.
