Questions Week 12 Day 1

by David Joynt on July 16, 2017


WEEK 4

CAN THE BIBLE BE TRUSTED?

 

PSALM 138:1-8

 

The question of the Bible’s trustworthiness is important, and there are very good internal and external reasons to have confidence in its integrity and truthfulness. We will examine a few of these reasons this week. But in some ways, the Bible’s claim to reveal the character and will of the God of the universe demands a more practical and existential test. The question “can we trust the Bible” becomes another question in the end—”can we trust the God the Bible portrays?”

 

 

Do you sense that you meet God as you read His word?

 

 

Do you feel God is personally addressing you through the scriptures?

 

 

Use our Psalm today to express your trust in God.

 

 

 

FAMILY TIME—

Write a love letter to someone else in your family.

Talk about the Bible as God’s love letter to us.
