A FEW THOUGHTS ON TODAYS READING... 

Those who choose to ignore the Word of God don't know it and due to this ignorance don't see it as the source of truth that it is.

Skepticism is nothing new. We read in John 18:37, when Pilate is interrogating Jesus, Pilate asks Jesus, "...What is truth?...". We read of truth in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." In similar fashion we read in 2 Peter 1:20-21, "know this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." So, acceptance that God's Word is just that, and not the words of men is the first step. Next Paul's advice in 2 Timothy 2:15, "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." The Golden Rule of Biblical interpretation is, "When the plain sense of Scripture makes common sense, seek no other sense, lest it result in nonsense." Armed with the truth, Paul concludes in 2 Timothy 4:1-4, "I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the Word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables."

Whether it be in the classroom, in the universities, or through preachers who have compromised the truth as conveyed in God's Word for whatever reason: filling their churches by becoming more "relevant", etc. many have attempted to compromise the authority and the truth behind the entirety of Scripture. At face value, this might seem harmless enough, but once you compromise the truth of His Word in the eyes of this relativistic philosophy, everything crumbles like a house of cards. Once you have made a decision to discredit the supernatural, instead trying to give a natural interpretation to Scripture, one must take out the eraser. The overwhelming majority of churches stay away from prophecy (though it comprises close to 25% of Scripture) and any discussion of end times since it makes people uncomfortable. By doing so you have eliminated even more of the Bible. The Bible is not and never will be another "self-help" book. It is God's Word. When people have made the decision as to what is relevant and what is not, in the Bible, they have elevated their own opinions over those of God. In so doing they have made themselves, whether they want to admit it or not demi-gods. The danger in this cannot be minimized. His story is the only history that really matters. Unless we relegate all of Scripture to the prominent truth that it deserves it is impossible to really know Him.

THIS WEEKS MEMORY VERSE

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear. ~1 Peter 3:15

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

God’s word must be the guide of your desires and the ground of your expectations in prayer; nor can you expect that He should give a gracious ear to what you say to Him if you turn a deaf ear to what He saith to you.
