Acts 17:11

These (the Bereans) were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.


Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

Luke is commending the Bereans for going home and studying the Scriptures to find out if what Paul had been telling them was true. We should do no less!

God Bless You!

--ANSWER TO TRIVIA QUESTION:

Q. About which two of the seven churches in Revelation did Jesus have nothing bad to say?

A. Smyrna and Philadelphia


Revelation 2:8-11 and 3:7-13

Just think, even within the lifetime of the Apostle John, there were only two out of the seven churches represented that were doing well. Very sobering, in light of the way our society and even the "church" views God today.
