[Manna - August 18]
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 1 Thessalonians 5:21
HOWEVER much they should ever come to respect
prophesying, or public speaking, the Lord's people
should learn proportionately not to receive what they
might hear without proper examination and criticism:
they should prove all things that they hear, should
exercise discrimination of mind, as to what is logically
and scripturally supported, and what is mere conjecture
and possibly sophistry.
They should prove what
they hear with a view to holding fast everything that
stands the test of the divine Word, and shows itself
to be in accordance with the Holy Spirit; and they
should as promptly reject whatever will not stand
these tests. Z.'03-26 R3137:4
