How 'bout the Bible?

Paul starts Galatians with some strong words about false teachers "even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed." 1:8

We are so blessed to have the Bible today. Complete copies of God's word are readily available in stores, online, even on our phones. Of course with all of this access to information, there is also the opportunity for false teaching, so we need to be on guard just like the early Christians.

There are tons of spiritual resources out there (commentaries, songs, sermons, books, etc.) and a lot of these are great ways for us to learn more about God. We just need to make sure we use these things to supplement our study of the Bible, not replace it. If we compare everything to the Source, we can identify false teachings and won't get turned around like the Galatians.
