A profound description of the nature and function of Scripture is recorded in 2 Timothy 3:16. We are simply told that Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, training, correction, and reproof. Many fundamentalists want to go beyond this description and enforce additional mandates. Some rigidly insist that inspiration means that God dictated every word of Scripture verbally. Others demand acceptance of the untenable notion that the Scriptures are somehow inerrant or infallible. Actually, only God is infallible and inerrant. Artificial man-made dogmas about Scripture violate its nature. We do well just to let it speak for itself.
Welcome!This Lenten season, the First Baptist Church of Christ will take the time to listen to the entire New Testament (days and passages are listed on the right column). Through our partnership with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, every member of the church will be offered a free MP3 recording of the New Testament. By listening to this recording for less than half an hour each day, one can hear the entire New Testament in forty days.
At this blog, you’ll be able to read some of our members’ thoughts about what they are hearing. Our contributors reflect the great diversity of our congregation. They are male and female, older and younger, some with a seminary background and some without. As you read their questions, reflections, and observations, I invite you to join the conversation by posting a comment.
