This I Believe: God Wrote a Book

“The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men. They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice.

2 Peter 1:20–212 Timothy 3:15–16

2 Timothy 3:16

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness

What does the bible fix? It fixes broken people

Let’s deal with one emotion in particular: Pride

  1.  Self righteousness
  2.  Self deception
  3. Self loathing
  4. Self centeredness
  5. Self confidence

When we interact with Scripture we suddenly have an objective observer in our lives.

  • 2 Timothy 3:16
  • 2 Timothy 3:17

It fixes you from the inside out.

  • Psalm 19:7–14
  • (7) It fixes you spiritually.
  • (8) It fixes you emotionally.
  • (9) It fixes your perception of life (value system and moral compass)
  • (11) It keeps your life from becoming a tragic train wreck
  • (12) It deals with you at a subconscious level
  • When we interact with Scripture we suddenly have an objective observer in our lives. It points out the unobserved obvious. Others can see it, everyone knows it. But you’re blind to your own hidden faults. “I never thought of it that way”
  • (13) It tells you that your interactions with other people aren’t always noble.
  • (14) It removes the uncertainty of spiritual growth and spiritual acceptance.
