How Do You Know You Can Trust Your Bible Teachers?

These days, anyone can go online for next to nothing and becoming a talking head, so-called Bible teacher. To get a large following, all you need is your smart phone, a laptop a nice looking backdrop, a glib tongue and some fancy editing software whether you know what you’re talking about or not. You may be a false teacher, a person of bad moral character, a shameless merchandiser and know little or nothing about the Bible, but this doesn’t stop people from preaching and teaching—and peddling their slickly packaged merchadise. So how do you know if you can trust the talking head blabbering from your screen or headphones? The Bible gives us some excellent guidelines on how to separate the wheat from the chaff in this dicey and landmine infested arena of information overload.
