Open Minded

Acts 17

11 And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth.

It takes an open mind to seek the Truth of the Scriptures. We Christians are often accused of being closed minded by the pagan culture around us. Frankly, some of that is deserved. May we be like the Bereans, and open our minds to what God has to say in His Holy Word. We should not just take man at his word whether he is claiming to speak for God or for the culture around us. Let us search the Scriptures daily and make sure that our minds are open to what they teach, letting what man has to say be judged by God’s Holy Word alone.
