Make the Bible Your Final Authority
I grew up in a church where the Bible wasn’t central. Both at home and in the pews, God’s Word wasn’t our primary source of truth.
After graduating from high school, I attended a “Christian” university in a nearby city. In one of my first classes called “Judeo-Christian Life and Thought,” the professor quietly but confidently proclaimed that “God was dead” and “the Bible was filled with many errors and historical myths.”
I ditched that college after a year and traveled to New Zealand where godly people taught me about the primacy of God’s Book–the Bible. Under their wise discipleship, I made it my “Book of books.”
Fifty-years later, God’s written Word is still my truth-seeking GPS in all things.
Make the Bible your final authority.
The Zelensky Debacle: Why Character Matters
Last night President Trump made his triumphant return to speak to a joint session of Congress. The speech was combative, visionary, moving, and the longest ever by a sitting president (one hour and forty minutes).
After the dust-up in the Oval Office four days before with the president of Ukraine, President Trump told the nation he “appreciated” a letter he’d received from President Zelensky indicating he was ready to work under Trump’s “strong leadership” to achieve a lasting peace.
That’s a good first step. Zelensky’s behavior last week was “absolute idiocy” to quote a Ukrainian MP.
My thoughts on the debacle and why character matters.
