advice vs. biblical advice

If you are giving advice or receiving advice... the first and most important question to ask yourself is...

IS IT BASED ON SCRIPTURE?

If it isn't, (and is soley based on opinion, psychology, polls, secular books, or even what is best for you) then it has huge potential to be faulty advice.

Hebrews 4:12

"For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart."

2 Timothy 3:16-17

"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work."

John 17:17

"Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. "

Psalm 119:105

"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."

2 Peter 1:3-4

"seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust."

If advice has an absense of scripture - then it has potential to be dangerous.

Colossians 2:8

“See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, but according to Christ.”
