Be A Berean!

If this is your first exposure to The Berean Call, as the name implies, we are all about encouraging our readers to be like the Bereans of Acts:17:10-11 [10] And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. [11] 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.
See All.... They were Jews in the synagogue of the Greek city of Berea who were commended for listening to the preaching of the Apostle Paul and particularly for searching the Scriptures daily to make sure that what he was teaching was true to the Word of God.

Jesus, when asked by His disciples about the last days and the signs preceding His return, indicated that spiritual deception would be a chief characteristic (Matthew:24:3-5 [3] And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? [4] And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. [5] For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
See All...). Based on the increasing number of prophetic events being fulfilled in the world, and the widespread development of spiritual deception throughout Christendom, it seems evident that those days are upon us.

What is a believer to do in order to stand firm in the faith and be fruitful for the Lord? Be a Berean!
