"FOLLOWING THE LEADER"

READ:
Acts 17:1-12
"They. . . searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. --Acts 17:11)

"My wife and I were driving to church one Sunday when we came to a red traffic light, so we stopped. There was only one car in front of us. While I waited, my mind began to wander. When the car ahead started to move, I was far away in thought and absentmindedly followed right along without even glancing up at the light. Only after I had driven through the intersection did I realize that I had blindly followed the leader. If the other driver had moved ahead before the light had turned green, my following along might have caused a serious accident.

"As I reflected on my carelessness, I thought about people who blindly follow their religious leaders. Many are attracted to speakers who have dynamic personalities, the ability to communicate effectively, and an air of authority. They accept and do everything these preachers say without ever thinking for themselves. In sharp contrast, the Christians in Berea 'received the Word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so' (Acts 17:11).

"Blindly following the leader can be dangerous. That's why we must test everything by what the Bible says. Then we will know if the leader is following the truth. --RWD" (Richard W. De Haan)

"The best translation of God's Word
That we will ever read
Is found in servants of the Lord
Who live that Word in deed. --DJD"
