    Contributed by Carl Allen on Apr 20, 2009
    based on 8 ratings
     | 7,012 views

    Why did God give us the Bible? Why did He feel that He needed to inspire man to write the words that lay before us. These are just a few of the questions that I believe are answered in the text for today.

    God’s Perfect Word The Purpose of the Scriptures 2 Timothy 3:14-17 Intro: In our text tonight, Timothy is challenged to maintain a close relationship with the Word of God. Paul tells him of the benefits that come from such a relationship. He is reminded that it is the Scriptures which have taught ...read more

    The Witness Of Scriptures Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jun 9, 2008
    based on 54 ratings
     | 31,235 views

    Openness to God precedes the reception of Scripture truth. We are not to guide Scriptures, they are to guide us...to God. We are not to make Scriptures say what we think or want them to say, but let them say what God desires to reveal.

    JOHN 5: 39-47 THE WITNESS OF THE SCRIPTURES [Luke 24: 25-27, 44-49 / Luke 16: 19-31] The previous passage tried to teach us that openness to belief must precede the reception of truth. Now John affirms that openness to God precedes the reception ...read more

    Defending the trustworthy character of the Bible

     Can anyone tell me what the first recorded words of the devil are? (Yea, hath God said) What do you suppose his intent was in posing this question? There was a course I took in Bible School called Biblical Hermeneutics. The course exposed us to a number of principles used in ...read more

    The 4th Article of Faith for the Church of the Nazarene.

    I believe that it is important to state what we believe up front and with full disclosure. Watch out for places of worship where they are unwilling to tell you what they actually believe.
