Pew-sitters who think that they're being "Bereans" don't always get everything 100% right, either.
They only have a duty to attempt to be Berean (i.e. square it with the scripture). God will refine. It’s not the peanut gallery’s cheap critics’ place to do that.
And that’s why I would tend to affirm the preaching approach of the preacher of the SBC affiliated church where I go. He puts the scripture right up on the screen as we go. It’s already an exercise in Berean-ness. It’s a way of thinking about things. What does the whole bible say about this, or that, or the other? And sometimes I’ve caught important things that were omitted, and that’s fine, it doesn’t mean the preacher is an utter dork. Everybody makes mistakes. Sometimes I’m reminded of things that I have omitted from my understanding of theology too.
Amen, Brother!
I've found; as a lay bible teacher; that it's easier to teach what is in the Bible, than to un-teach what ain't!
