Bible Note: God's day to you, CheriD and welcome to the SBF, I too hope you stay around. It would help if you entered info in your profile. While forums are good, I pray you seek a wise older Christian woamn - both in age and the Lord, to disciple you. You'll be able to see her in the flesh and she can give you step-by-step direction in your growth. She and the SBF can address questions you have. No matter what you see, read or hear, always check it out angainst Scripture (Acts 17:11). If you think something is amiss, ask the source for to show in the Bible there reason and ask another wise Chistian. As you grow, be willing to change what you believe based on what you read in the Bible. I have made adjustments to my beliefs on certain things as I grow in the Lord. As I teach, I know I have a higher standard, as James writes in this verse. It is because those younger in the Lord are listening. Searcher |
