From the Pastor's Desk:
Last week I preached on the Bible. The Bible IS the infallible, everlasting word of God! All of it was inspired by God. All of it is true. All of it is exactly what God wants us to have. All of it is about Him revealing Himself to us ... especially through His Son Jesus Christ. None of it is false. None of it is a lie. And none of it needs a "more modern interpretation." All of that is the basis for our dependence on it ... allowing it to guide us in our everyday life.
Now, more than ever, we need to be biblically grounded. The world has become anti-Christian and anti-Bible. The worldview of Christianity has evolved into the state of relativism ... people apply only those portions of the Bible that are relative or conducive to their particular lifestyle. Secularism is dominating "post-Christian" America.
I am of the firm belief that this has happened because God's people ... Christians ... have used churches as platforms of entertainment instead of biblically based and grounded "Houses of Worship." I do not think we can change the movements of our society, but I am certain that churches and Christians can change the way they look at the Bible. We can all get better at being biblically grounded. And if we do that, I believe that the world can be drawn to the Lord.
