"Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." (Eph. 5:10-11) "...That you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." (Rom. 12:2)

After a particular department store had taken in several counterfeit bills, law officials asked the manager if he was willing to go to Washington on an all-expense-paid trip for a two week study on counterfeit. After the manager had gone to Washington, taken the course, and returned home, his friends asked him, "How much counterfeit did they show you?" He answered, "None. The entire course consisted of a detailed study of the real money." He added, "The teachers worked on the principle that people could easily spot a counterfeit if they knew the genuine well."

Today, there are a host of different churches teaching conflicting and contradictory doctrines. To find the truth within this maze of confusion, one must know the genuine well. With a thorough knowledge of the New Testament, one can easily identify the Lord's church. Without it, invariably, he will accept a counterfeit.
