Bringing the Bible into Ancient Times, not modern times

"'You've got to bring the bible into modern times.' That's exactly the opposite of what you should do. You never want to bring the Bible into modern times. You want to bring people back into ancient times. When you teach the Word of God, you want to recreate the setting so the person is there, so the Bible comes through with its divine message in its original context. Anything less is robbing Scriptures, snatching verses here and there to make it mean whatever they want" (John MacArthur).

Do you teach the Bible in a way that does not rob the Scriptures, but instead returns glory to God?

Spurgeon on Visions & the Church

"Visions and such things belong to the infancy of the church. Nobody thinks of putting a post to support an apple tree which has been there for the last fifty years. In fact, it could hold the stake rather than borrow support from it. When a ship leaves the docks and passes down the river, you will see it towed out till it reaches the sea. But that same vessel will soon spread all her sails, and with a heavenly breeze to bear her along, she will need no tug to tow her to the desired haven. The church of God today is a tree that needs no support of miracle or vision, a vessel that has braved two thousand years the battle and the breeze, and will still, till Christ comes, outride every storm. You have the Word of God, which is better than visions."

C.H. Spurgeon

I couldn't agree more.

Is the Word of God ALONE the greatest truth in your life?
