having doubts?

I took this picture of my geranium a few days ago.

There it sits on the back porch healthy, green, and gorgeous,

never minding at all that it is January 10th.

I think it is a phenomenon.

"Let us carefully hold fast

the great doctrine

of the plenary inspiration of every word of the Bible.

Let us never allow

that any writer of the Old or New Testament

could make even the slightest verbal mistake or error,

when writing as he was

'moved by the Holy Spirit.' 

2 Peter 1:21

Let it be a settled principle with us in reading the Bible,

that when we cannot understand a passage,

the fault is not in the Bible

but in ourselves.

The adoption

of this principle

will place our feet upon a rock.

To give it up is to stand upon a quicksand,

 and to fill our minds

with endless doubts and uncertainties."  (jc ryle)

So many fail in Christianity at this point.

They cannot accept the truth that the Bible is the inspired word of God.

They pick and cut at the Scriptures,

taking what they want to believe and discarding the rest.

Every single word is important to the whole

and the whole makes up the word that God gave to us....

a precious gift,

a love letter,

and instruction book

for His dear believing children.

O My God how thankful I am for your book.
