Proverbs 18:17
Excerpted from: Joshua's Four Miracles (Part Two)And they did not really question them enough. They did not investigate and just accepted their story, at face value. I mean, I am sure the Israelites were nice people, and they desired to help these vagabond-looking ambassadors. And they did one of two things: they took things at face value, or they just simply believed what they heard without checking into it.
And human leaders in the church do the same thing. I give them credit for their desire to help and do things well, but oftentimes in the transmission of what happened or what was going on, they take things at face value, or they believe the first person through the door is telling them what is going on. We are told in Proverbs 18:17 that you are not supposed to do that. The first person who gives his case is not to be solely believed. It should be investigated thoroughly.
