Acts 4

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus...But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge.   For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” vv.13,19-20

I love this.  I love seeing how Peter and John had boldness and wisdom because they had been with Jesus.  It wasn't because they went to seminary school or because they were leaders of the people already but because they were with Jesus!  Today it seems like no one speaks up about Jesus because of intimidation around someone that went to seminary, thinking they know more or better about God and scripture.  That's so not true!  Spending time in scripture on our own we'll get more wisdom of who HE is than hearing through a third party of what He's like.  Reading scripture isn't just for the scholarly, but for everyone.  God will open your understanding of the scriptures.  Don't let Satan's lies tell you "it's not your gift" or "not important."  When we then spend time with Jesus we'll be able to say like John and Peter, "we cannot but speak the things which we've seen and hear."
