The Bible is the single most accurate ancient document in existence today! Now that’s a big claim! Nevertheless, it’s true. The Bible is spiritually reliable, historically reliable, textually reliable, and reliable in many other ways too. In this message, I try to explain exactly why we can know it is so trustworthy.
God Wants You to Hear Him

It’s true. God really wants you to hear him. The Bible isn’t an esoteric , spiritually difficult book like many have sometimes thought. Sure, there are some editions that have ancient Shakespeare-like language, but God doesn’t speak King James English. God speaks to our hearts by speaking through his servants. God wants you to hear him!
Can You Hear Him?

This is the first message of the series. It’s just an introduction to the whole series, but in it I identify three important truths about the Bible:
- You can hear God’s voice in your Bible.
- You can understand your Bible.
- You can live by your Bible.
I also deal with this important passage:
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17
Listen up to hear how God’s Word prepares us for God’s work.

In this series of messages, I’m going to explore what it means to hear God’s voice through the pages of your Bible. We’ll talk about the specifics of how to read and understand the Bible better. We’ll talk about how we got the Bible. We’ll deal with difficult passages too.
One of the key features of this series is that we will be dealing with difficult passages and questions about the Bible submitted by people in my congregation. If you would like to get in on it, just submit a difficult passage here online, or ask me any other question about the Bible, and I’ll try to address it in one way or another.
Greetings, interesting article. There are a few people who would disagree with you, for starters take Johm MacArthur. He recently opened up his 40 year vault of messages free to the public. He has 100s of messages devoted to the 5 points of Calvinism, which he strongly supports. He also has many messages on a pre-trib rapture, which he also supports. Boice, Barnhouse, Lutzer, etc. are just a few of the well known preachers who are 5 point and pre-trib. S. Lewis Johnson, considered by some the greatest exposito of the 20th century, was also Calvinistic and believed in the rapture. So, there are a few men who have studied the scriptures far more than you and I who came to a different conclusion.
