Mills, discussed a strategy the Berean church exemplified with their relentless approach to the Scriptures. They received, researched, and responded to the Word of God. This ensured the proper dissecting and application of biblical doctrine (the body of essential theological truths that define and describe the biblical message).<strong><sup>1<\/sup><\/strong> Simply put, doctrine is scriptural teaching on theological truths. If you ignore this crucial investigation, then it can lead to some bad doctrines.<strong><sup>2<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Along with the careful examination of doctrine, I want to supplement an additional spiritual strategy, while growing in the discipleship process that reflects Acts 2:42. That strategy is to have a <em>teachable spirit<\/em>. Luke 11:1 says, \u201cOne day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, \u201cLord, <strong>teach<\/strong> us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.\u201d Many of us can remember, before sporting events, the \u201cLord\u2019s prayer\u201d being prefaced before the tip off, kick off, or whatever the game may be. What if that disciple (unnamed), who clearly grew up in a \u201cprayer culture,\u201d did not ask the question? If this disciple was a \u201cknow it all,\u201d then we do not have access to the most well-known and revered prayer today. It is a difficult task to \u201cGuard this Man\u201d when we think we have arrived. Jesus unlocks the best revelations to those with a \u201cteachable spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Becoming a lifelong learner means that you do not graduate with age or accomplishments. The biggest enemy to a teachable spirit is pride, and it must be uprooted to see true growth continue in the life of the disciple.<strong><sup>3<\/sup><\/strong> My prayer is that today you would examine your heart and allow the Lord to speak to you about being teachable. It may unlock something you would come to revere.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h5><em>Bible Study Tools<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblestudytools.com\/dictionary\/doctrine\/\">https:\/\/www.biblestudytools.com\/dictionary\/doctrine\/<\/a>.

El mes pasado, nuestro director, WA Mills, discuti\u00f3 una estrategia que la iglesia de Berea ejemplific\u00f3 con su enfoque implacable de las Escrituras. Ellos recibieron, investigaron y respondieron a la Palabra de Dios. Esto asegur\u00f3 la adecuada disecci\u00f3n y aplicaci\u00f3n de la doctrina b\u00edblica (el cuerpo de verdades teol\u00f3gicas esenciales que definen y describen el mensaje b\u00edblico). <strong><sup>1 En<\/sup><\/strong> pocas palabras, la doctrina es una ense\u00f1anza b\u00edblica sobre verdades teol\u00f3gicas. Si ignora esta investigaci\u00f3n crucial, entonces puede llevar a algunas malas doctrinas. <strong><sup>2<\/sup><\/strong> Junto con el examen cuidadoso de la doctrina, quiero complementar una estrategia espiritual adicional, mientras crec\u00ed en el proceso de discipulado que refleja Hechos 2:42. Esa estrategia es tener un <em>esp\u00edritu ense\u00f1able<\/em> . Lucas 11: 1 dice: \u201cUn d\u00eda, Jes\u00fas estaba orando en un lugar determinado. Cuando termin\u00f3, uno de sus disc\u00edpulos le dijo: \"Se\u00f1or, <strong>ens\u00e9\u00f1anos<\/strong> a orar, tal como Juan les ense\u00f1\u00f3 a sus disc\u00edpulos\". Muchos de nosotros podemos recordar, antes de los eventos deportivos, la \"oraci\u00f3n del Se\u00f1or\" precedida antes de la sugerencia, patada, o cualquiera que sea el juego. \u00bfQu\u00e9 pasa si ese disc\u00edpulo (sin nombre), que claramente creci\u00f3 en una \"cultura de oraci\u00f3n\", no hizo la pregunta? Si este disc\u00edpulo era un \"lo sabe todo\", entonces no tenemos acceso a la oraci\u00f3n m\u00e1s conocida y venerada hoy. Es una tarea dif\u00edcil \"proteger a este hombre\" cuando creemos que hemos llegado. Jes\u00fas revela las mejores revelaciones para aquellos con un \"esp\u00edritu de ense\u00f1anza\". Convertirse en un aprendiz de por vida significa que no te grad\u00faas con la edad o los logros. El mayor enemigo de un esp\u00edritu ense\u00f1able es el orgullo, y debe ser desarraigado para que el verdadero crecimiento contin\u00fae en la vida del disc\u00edpulo. <strong><sup>3<\/sup><\/strong> Mi oraci\u00f3n es que hoy examinar\u00edas tu coraz\u00f3n y permitir\u00edas que el Se\u00f1or te hablara acerca de ser ense\u00f1able. Puede desbloquear algo que vendr\u00edas a venerar.\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li>\r\n<h5><em>Herramientas de estudio b\u00edblico<\/em> , <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblestudytools.com\/dictionary\/doctrine\/\">https:\/\/www.biblestudytools.com\/dictionary\/doctrine\/<\/a> .
