Every once in a while, there are those that question the authority and relevancy of the Word of God. Assuming the importance of such a questioning, there arises those that defend their position and those that challenge the defended position.In regards to the bible, the specific and central truth of the christian faith, there seems to be a negotiation taking place within the church itself.This negotiation however seems to be a one sided deal, where those that want to dilute the sound, clear, life-giving, sin-forgiving message seem to get the upper hand. Somehow it seems that the louder one voices his or her opinion regardless of the truth, that opinion somehow seems to be the measuring yard for truth itself. It is this sort of flawed reasoning that I find prevailing in most of our societies and much of the Church itself.
As the body of Christ, we have been entrusted with timeless truth that will influence and impact any culture, academy and society at any given time in history.
Have we forgotten that the Church of Christ, is the foundation and the pillar of truth? Are we so "diseased", that we now trade our faith for flawed reason, sound biblical revelation for human relevance and the bible for the newspaper.
It is high time we realise the importance of communicating the timeless truth we have been entrusted with,unashamedly!
