The Bible
stand all tests.
When Billy Graham was a young man
he found himself lured by the intellectual appeal of compromise.
A number of scholars he knew were promoting the theory that much
of the Bible could be explained away, and that one had to be
selective about what to use and what to take with a grain of
salt.
Finally one day he took the Bible
and placed it solidly on a tree stump before him. He then turned
to the Lord and told the Lord that from that moment on he would
take the whole Bible as the inspired Word of God.
We don't ooze into commitment.
Even Christians who have grown up with the best teaching and
the most fervent of parents, must come to places of conscious
choice about these things.
Do our children understand that
our lives are based on what the Bible says?
Do they understand that in order to understand
it they must have the Writer explain it to them supernaturally?
Do they understand that smart people
don't have more ability to know the Lord than retarded people?
Have they watched parents go to
the Word when there is a question about what to do?
"Thy Word is a Lamp
unto my feet and a light unto my path. . ."
