What’s Your Reference Point?

How do we know we’re hearing the right thing from the Word of God?  It depends on our reference point.  Our reference point must be the truth.  It must start and end with God.  God’s voice, not our emotions; God’s will, not ours.  
Scripture:  Luke 8:40-48, 2 Peter 2:4-9, 2 Kings 2:1-12, John 8:12-13, John 6:25-32
