We are negligent to ourselves when we do not take responsibility for educating ourselves and only depend on what we are exposed to through the blazing and blaring media
We are subject to much disinformation even in the church due to its selling out in the 50's and also due to various heresies. So beware, make sure Jesus is your shepherd.
The need to rightfully divide the word is essential - otherwise you will teach a gospel of works ie repentance which is also poorly defined word to boot
Life answers are not what we need sometimes from God, sometimes the solution is built from the questions that drive us to God and help us develop closer relations with Him.
