Receiving the Scriptures
The Bible is God-breathed, given so that we may know Him, be corrected, and be equipped.
September 1, 2026
Christians are people of a book because God has spoken. We do not worship paper. We receive the voice of the living God in the words He breathed out.
That is : not dictation that erased the writers, and not a spark of genius we may edit. Holy men spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
What the Word does
: it is living, and it cuts. A site like this can explain. It cannot replace being read by the text.
is the old picture: a lamp, not a floodlight. Enough for the next step, not a map of every curiosity.
