Great Post: Airport Eavsdropping

Yesterday's featured article on Boundless addressed a subject that has been on my mind for the last few months. Basically, author David Barshinger discusses how more and more, even the most traditional of Evangelicals are not looking to the Bible as the ultimate authority in their lives. Instead, they base their decisions on reason, experience and tradition. David points out the fallacies of these things and shows us how important it is to take Scripture seriously.

"And if we Christians want to take the God we worship seriously, then we need to take His Word seriously too.

Taking Scripture seriously means, on one level, reading the whole thing — even the parts that may seem difficult. The gospel message is simple, but the Bible as a whole is not. No one could master it in a lifetime because its subject is the infinite God. Yet pursuing mastery is worth every minute. It will require help from commentators, pastors, small group leaders and other Christians seeking to understand it together, but will yield rewarding results."

It the past few years I have seen many Christians water down the truth of the Bible based on their own feelings, opinions and desires. When will we abandon our selfishness and actually obey what God has written?

"I will meditate on Your precepts and fix my eyes on Your ways. I will delight in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word" Psalm 119:15-16
