In my last posting I set out the dangers to the lack of knowledge.
This a starting point whether you are a newcomer or veteran.
The words Paul said to the Philippians were words of encouragement, and those words hold true for us, today, too. And it's a message for every body.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things.
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Thinking precedes action. If people would lets their minds dwell upon honesty, justice, purity, loveliness, virtue, things that of good report, and Godly praise, there would be a notable decrease in swearing, lying, killing, stealing, committing adultery, blood toucheth blood. (incest)
And if the teachers let their minds dwell on honesty, justice, purity, loveliness, virtue, things that of good report, and Godly praise, there would be less need for caution when choosing a teacher. But we live in an imperfect world, and even the best of up make missteps.
Set your mind on these things, and choose a teacher who holds these things dear. And be mindful of the last sentence.
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
