Voice of Hope

"This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck." (1 Timothy 18:19) Yesterday, I wrote about the inspiration of the Bible. I personally believe the Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God which reveals to us God's Will for mankind. I do not believe it "contains"  the Word, rather I believe it "IS" God's Word. In 2015 that somehow seems to be a shocking statement to some in the church.

For every problem we face in life, there is an answer recorded in its inspired pages.  It should be cherished, read and used as life's road map to heaven. If you are one of those ministers I am referring to, do yourself a favor.  Drop to your knees, repent before God, asking His forgiveness for our arrogant mockery of all that is holy. I believe God's Word with all of my heart.  After all, I am staking my eternal future on it.
