Imperfect as we are, God helps us transform bit by bit into the image and person he created us to be. It is a long process and on this mortal plan we will never fully achieve it. Still, God is with us and changes us-if we let Him.
The old saying goes, “I might not be perfect but at least I’m better than I was yesterday!”
What is the Christian life? What does it mean to be a Christian? Are the scriptures accurate? Are they inspired? Are they literal?
In Think Biblical Second Edition, from Crossway Books, several biblical scholars provide essays about the foundation of the Christian faith. I learned a lot-all of which strengthened my faith. John MaCarthur and Abner Chou edit the essays.
In the essays the foundations of the Christian faith are examined, how they pertain to today’s society and are to be applied to a Christian’s life.
Essays also look at how the world perceives the scriptures, how its truths have been distorted, changed and ignored and unfortunately how many churches have strayed from the Bible’s truths.
The various authors offer guidance as how to recover a Christian worldview.
As Christians we are part of the body of Christ. Christ being the head. In order for a body to function properly it must have proper nourishment, care and its various parts cooperating and working toward a common goal.
We all are given spiritual gifts to use toward the furtherance of the gospel. As each part of a physical body suffers pain when one part hurts we too must support one another, heal and work together to honor God and always, always give him the glory.
Just a few of the many subjects covered in the book include hermeneutics, creation sin, masculinity, femininity, music, mental illness, science, education, economics and so many more.
Romans 15:13 - Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
