O how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day. (Psalm 119:97)
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. (Acts 17:11)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

The study of the word: sure antodoto against doctrinal error

Spiritual leaders must prioritize systematic education for parishioners, and believers must invest time in studying the Word of God. The Church cannot rely solely on passionate sermons or supposed supernatural experiences. The Church needs the solid food of the Word administered day by day to become a stable and blessed community. There is too much foam in the teaching that a great part of the people of God currently receive, and it results in a falsely anointed church, frequently intoxicated with the self-deception of disorderly and hysterical cults. It is necessary to maintain a biblical balance, keeping the intellect and emotions, doctrine and anointing, order and spontaneity in healthy tension. The systematic and disciplined study of the Bible leads to a healthy and sober spirituality, and it becomes a solid foundation for life and service to the Lord. We must treasure the Word and learn to love the systematic knowledge of the Scriptures. Read more...

Comments:

Enrique Meneses Muñoz : GOD will protect me from any deception, and show me the right path. Thank you my LORD.
In your comment, Enrique, you reflect a beautiful trust in God's protection and guidance. As Dr. Roberto Miranda mentions in his devotional, the systematic study of the Word of God is a sure antidote to doctrinal error and deception. Like the Bereans mentioned in Acts 17:11, it is important to search the Scriptures to discern the truth and follow the right path. May God continue to guide your steps and strengthen your faith as you immerse yourself in His Word. Blessings!
Carlos A. Borja Flores: What a great devotional for the application of the Church of our times. How good it is to read the words of a Pentecostal preacher, when he indicates "We must clarify: It is not about repressing or controlling the true movement of the Spirit: Religious formalism and modernist theology are as dangerous and sterilizing as the superficial emotionalism that is currently we see in so many sectors of the evangelical world." It is refreshing to read messages that lead us to move in the truth of the gospel.
Carlos, your reflection is very accurate. It is inspiring to see how the teaching of the Word of God, such as that mentioned by Dr. Roberto Miranda in his devotional, motivates us to maintain a balance between biblical truth and the genuine manifestation of the Holy Spirit in our lives and in the church. It is essential not to fall into extremes, whether in religious formalism or superficial emotionalism, but rather to seek that biblical balance that leads us to a solid and authentic faith. May we continue to seek the truth of the gospel and allow the Holy Spirit to guide us at all times. God bless you abundantly!

Francisco, your request for wisdom and discernment when studying the Scriptures is fundamental, as mentioned in the verse from Psalms 119:97 cited by Dr. Roberto Miranda in his devotional.

May God grant you the wisdom necessary to discern His Word and follow the path He has laid out for you. May His light and guidance be with you at all times!

Luis Alfredo Ramirez Cano: As the Pastor says, it is very necessary that the foundation of all of us be based on the knowledge, study, review of the word, it is necessary to search the Word, (John 5:39) Search the Scriptures; because it seems to you that in them you have eternal life; and they are the ones who testify about me; (2 Peter 1:3) As all things pertaining to life and godliness have been given to us by his divine power, through the knowledge of him who called us by his glory and excellence, that is, the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For everything, we must search the Word, that is, examine, inquire, we must carefully find out something and its circumstances. This will allow us to judge the prophecies that today so many pastors give indiscriminately, motivational sermons, not words that confront, rebuke, exhort, that lead us to change. Knowing the word will protect us from what 2 Peter 2:1 warns us about. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, and will even deny the Lord who rescued them, attracting upon themselves sudden destruction. 2 And many will follow their debaucheries, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.
Luis Alfredo, your reflections on the importance of basing our faith on the knowledge and deep study of the Word of God are in line with the emphasis that Dr. Roberto Miranda highlights in his devotional. You cite key Bible passages that highlight the importance of searching the Scriptures, discerning the truth, and being alert to false teachings that may lead us astray from the path of faith. As Dr. Miranda mentions, sound doctrine and biblical knowledge are essential to strengthen our faith and resist the deceptive doctrines that abound in our times. May your continued pursuit and study of the Word guide you toward a solid, grounded faith in God's truth. May His light and discernment always accompany you in your Christian walk!
Martha Eugenia Caro Montañez : Amen Amen Amen 🙇🏻‍♀️, only if we are consistent in The Word being doers and not hearers, can we shield ourselves in such strong times, May the Lord Strengthen us in His Knowledge 🙏🙏🙏
Martha Eugenia, your amen and your call to be doers of the Word, not just hearers, highlights the importance of putting into practice what we learn from the Scriptures. As you mention, by being consistent in the Word and living it, we strengthen and armor ourselves in the midst of the challenges we face. May the Lord continue to strengthen you in His knowledge and enable you to be faithful in putting His Word into practice in every aspect of your life. May His wisdom and direction always guide you in your Christian walk!
