It’s Time to Pray

“All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.” II Tim. 3:16-17

This is a critical time for the church. There is a move away from commitment to the written Word of God and a rejection of its infallibility and inerrancy.

When you say the Bible is infallible, you mean it is trustworthy. The Bible is inerrant for it is entirely true. It does not merely contain truth.

The infallibility and inerrancy of the Bible are unavoidable because of its Source.

“But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.” II Peter 1:20-21

Because God is the Source, Scripture is true. Our lives must conform to His objective written Word. The eternal Word of the infinite almighty God cannot be made subject to our desires and experiences without grave consequences.

We must believe God’s Word if we hope to reach others with a message that has meaning and hope.

Pray that today Christians will devote themselves to the Word of God. Ask that God will remove from power those who deride the Bible and the truths it contains.

Recognize that the problems of accepting the Word of God is not with the Bible as much as it is with its Author.

Pray that God’s Name and His Word will be lifted up in our homes and churches throughout the country.
