Your Word+Your Spirit=Guide to Truth

1 John 4:1 "Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world."

   Lord, this was true in John's day and is even more true, if that is possible, today with the easy and prolific access to print, radio, TV, CDs, and the internet.  More false prophets can reach more people much faster than in any time in history.  Of course the same is true for true Christians who teach the truth as well.
   Thank You again for Your Holy Spirit who guides me into all truth and alerts me of false teaching.  Thank You for Your Word in print, on the computer, and in digital form so I can have access to it almost everywhere I am.  Thank You for helping me to memorize scripture so when all of these resources are no available, I still can test the spirits with what I have hidden in my heart.  You have commanded me to be like the Bareans who tested all the things Paul said by the scriptures.  If I don't know the scriptures, I will not know truth from falsehood.  Your Word is the standard by which everything is measured for truth.
