Follow God, Not Man
"(All the people, even the tax collectors, when they heard Jesus' words, acknowledged that God's way was right, because they had been baptized by John. But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God's purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.)" -- Luke 7:29-30
Don't assume that someone who stands before you and proclaims God's word is telling you the truth. Sounds pretty basic but so many people just know that if a person has a pastor or minister or brother title before their name then they must be speaking the truth. Not necessarily.
Read the Bible for yourself. Pray. Ask God to surround you with godly people, then seek guidance from those who live God's Word rather than merely speak it. God is more than willing to guide our lives. We simply have to open our hearts and invite Him in.
Never forget that the Pharisees -- the religious leaders of their day -- rejected Jesus as the Messiah. Don't make the same mistake. Trust Him and His Word above all others. He'll never lead you astray.
