Question
I would like to know where I can find a scripture. It goes something like this: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know."
Hi Juanita,
Psalms and Proverbs contain 31 verses about trust in the Lord. The following two are probably what you have in mind. These are from the KJV. Your quote sounds like the NRSV or some other later version.
Pro. 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding.
Psa. 71:1 In you, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
There are several online Bible search engines such as Blue Letter Bible at http://www.blueletterbible.org/search.html
If you have other questions about Bible study or Christian living, feel free to ask.
Sincerely,
Mel and Guyna

Expertise
Anyone can read the Bible but sometimes it helps to have someone assist with the understanding (Acts 8:26-40). Truth comes from God through his holy spirit of truth (Jn. 16:13, 1Cor. 2:12), which is available to anyone who believes, repents and seeks God fervently and wholeheartedly, with humility, faith and persistence (Mat. 7:7, Deu. 4:29, Isa. 66:2, Jas. 4:1-10, Phil. 2:12). Truth is not limited to, or by, man’s religious organizations, church traditions, popular beliefs or personal opinions (Jn. 8:32, 14:6). We will try to help anyone who is trying to understand scripture or Christian living. [Please do not submit homework questions as they will be rejected.]
Experience
Over 40 years of personal study of the entire Bible (Deu. 8:3, Mat. 4:4, 2Tim. 3:16, Deu. 4:12, Rev. 22:18).
B.A. in Theology with continuing studies in religious history and education (2Tim 2:15, 1Ths. 5:21).
Years of informal counseling of young adults, teens, couples, and prisoners, based on scripture and on actual life experience in the world outside of classrooms and church buildings and including a long and happy marriage. After years of experience with organized religion, we are non-denominational.
Publications: http://thechurchofgodinamerica.com/index.htm; http://www.reocities.com/Athens/Forum/1611/books on God's Holy Days, Lying, the Sacred Names Doctrine; articles on Terrorism and Islam, the Gospel of Christ, Preparing Yourself for Life in the Kingdom of Christ; What Happens After Death; currently developing 70+ college-level courses for Theology and Christian Living studies.
Organizations
Organizations are of men, not God. While God may use some of them to facilitate his plan, organizations train their people to follow, not to lead. God was able to create the whole Creation, as we see it, in only six days, because he did not use a committee. Ten years after 9/11, the only thing approved for construction there was a mosque.
Education/Credentials
"If a man would teach others, he must first teach himself." - Source Unknown.
B.A. in Theology, over 50 years of personal study, the last twelve of which have been full time study and research resulting in publication of several books and many articles.
