So I was reading another of my favorite blogs (the JesusFreakHideout blog...check out their website) and a guy on there said that sometimes we are deceived by "the world" AND "the church" and that rocked me. I had never thought about it like that, but we really are aren't we? Sometimes we accept what "the church" tells us as truth without checking up on it, and are deceived into thinking something that might not be true. Now I'm not saying that all churches lie, but no ones perfect. Sometimes we let tradition, personal feelings, and other things bias what we believe.
I know I've said this before, but we got to go back to what we KNOW is the Truth, The Bible. It is 100% true, no lies, no deception, no contradiction. If you want to know what to believe, take a look in there. What I've gotten in the habit of doing is after I hear a sermon or teaching I go back to what I know is absolutely true, the Bible, and compare what I heard and what I read. 98% of the time they agree, but sometimes I will find stuff that makes me think and have to dig a little deeper. Regardless of the outcome, you end up spending more time in the Word and learn more and more about God and His Will in your life.

I agree. Like sometimes if I am feeling down or confused I read the Bible for guidance because I trust in it. I've never thought to compare teachings and sermons to the script in the Bible but that's a good idea.
