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) 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.
