“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” – Psalms 119:105
Here’s some food for thought from my “Notes & Quotes”. This is an example of what Jesus said in Luke 16:8 “… the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.”
“After captivating an audience at Yale University, the late novelist Ayn Rand was asked by a reporter, “Whats wrong with the modern world?” Without a moment’s hesitation she replied, “Never before has the world been so desperately asking for answers to crucial questions, and never before has the world been so frantically committed to the idea that no answers are possible. To paraphrase the Bible, the modern attitude is, ‘Father, forgive us, for we know not what we are doing—and please don’t tell us.’” That’s very perceptive for an acknowledged agnostic. Many of us want a word from God, but we don’t want the Word of God. We know enough to own a Bible but not enough for the Bible to own us. We pay the Bible lip service, but we fail to give it “life service.” In a world where the only absolute is that there are no absolutes, there is little room left for the authoritative Word of God as revealed in the Bible.”
That’s well said! I am amazed that so-called “Bible believers” are so confused about the solution to our problems today. They act as though no answer can be found — although they hold it in their hands. Without the Bible we have no sure standard of right and wrong, which leaves people free to do whatever is right in their own eyes. That leads to what we’ve got today. Thankfully we do have God’s Word and it is a sure guide that both enlightens us and enables us to do as we should. Our great need is to get back to the Bible. Those who behold its worth, wonder, and work will walk in its ways. That’s the Savior’s solution to sin’s pollution. – HDS
