If you grew up Christian, sometimes you can find yourself believing things that you learned when you were very young without questioning them. Things your parents taught you, or maybe things that you learned in Sunday School. Probably most of what you learned was true, but the point is that you just too their word for it. But have you ever questioned if some of those facts were true?
The Berean Christians, in Acts 17:10-11, listened to Paul preach. And after hearing him, they examined the scriptures to see if he was speaking the truth. It wasn’t as if they didn’t trust Paul, they just knew they shouldn’t except a teaching without examining it.
Have you ever been pondering something you knew was true, and then wondered where it was found in the Bible? I have.
So, I have decided to make a contest. I have written a truth at the end of this post. Take a week to study the scriptures, and then post a comment with as many scriptures as you can find to back up that truth. Or maybe you disagree with it, than back that up instead.
Who is the winner? Anyone who completes this contest. What is the prize? A better knowledge of God’s word.
I hope you can take some time out of your week to do this.
I'll try to post another truth every other week
God is everywhere.

Now that I have you

hey,just found ur blog and was reading. nice post..there's a lot of things that we've been told that r in the Bible and well 'believed' but in some cases they're not in the Bible. (I.E.) like we all assume Jesus had a beard (well he prob. did..but) u know we all assume it says in the Bible he had a beard and it was plucked off. Recently doing some research it nowhere says that his beard was plucked off..or cleary he had a beard...lol..i hope this makes since.:) I'll be back,
God Bless,
