Well-intended Bad Advice Acts 21:1-16
from bpchurch Sermons · host Pastor Bob Carlson
Have you ever had a friend tell you what they planned to do because their counselor said to, but the plan didn't quite ring true? We all benefit from sound advice, as Proverbs 11:14 says, "Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety." But how can you know if the advice you're given (or are giving) is godly or worldly? How can you know if your plans are true spiritual wisdom or just common sense? In Acts 21:1-16, Paul is given well-intended but faulty advice. God has recorded this incident for us, to help us recognize the true standard by which we can direct our steps.
