SKEPTICS TRY TO PROVE THE BIBLE IS NOT TRUE

Skeptics use the difficulties of Scripture as an argument against the Bible; but many who tried to prove the Bible false, discovered with further examination, that it was indeed true. The Bible holds strong evidence of its Divine inspiration. If it contained a simple account of God that we could easily comprehend with our finite minds, then it wouldn’t bear the unmistakable marks of Divine authority.

Isaiah 14:27: For the LORD of hosts has planned, and who can frustrate it? And as for His stretched-out hand, who can turn it back?

WHAT JESUS IS FOR US...

Isaiah 1:18: Come now, let’s settle this, says the LORD. Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool. NLT

This truth, and all that God wants us to know, is revealed to us in His Word, though salvation in Jesus, and by what the Holy Spirit reveals to us in our spirit. This is for the believer’s benefit and blessing. Hebrews 1:3 tells us what Jesus is for us.

Hebrews 1:3: And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power when He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high…

 God’s never-ending, infinite knowledge was not passed on to us. However, He did leave us His Word and gives us vast wisdom, reasoning, memory, and intelligence, but it will never be equal to God’s. If we desire to have these attributes to a greater degree, we can ask the Holy Spirit to reveal more truth and wisdom to us. Even if we don’t ask, but regularly get into God’s Word to receive enlightenment, instead of reading it as a requirement, then we’ll glean more godly wisdom as a result. 

God delights when we ask for His good gifts. When we ask Him to fill us with His presence and power, He gives us the dominion that’s promised to those who love and serve Him. Of course, if we remain carnal and neglect our spiritual inheritance, then we remain weak and ineffective in our Christian walk and talk.  

 James 1:5: If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

 What God wants us to know is written in His Word to us. We grow stronger and wiser by staying in it. The Holy Spirit living in us, witnesses to our spirit that God’s nature is one of love and truth. When we remain in Him, we have everything we need in this life and life ever after.

 WE ARE HEIRS WITH CHRIST

 Romans 8:15-17: For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.”

 Everywhere we see wonders that are beyond our human understanding. So, we should not be surprised to find that in the spiritual world, there are mysteries that we can’t understand. Our difficulty lies solely in the weakness and limitations of our human mind, for God has given us enough evidence in Scripture of the Trinity’s Divine character. Therefore, we’re not to doubt God’s Word just because we can’t understand all the mysteries of His being.

 The Apostle Peter says in 2 Peter 3:16: …as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. ESV

HOW TO BE THE BEST AND MOST PROLIFIC CHRISTIAN AUTHOR POSSIBLE

7 WRITING TIPS FROM CHARLES HADDON SPURGEON, WHO WAS THE MOST PROLIFIC CHRISTIAN AUTHOR OF ALL-TIME!

Prior to the standardization of typewriters—let alone the development of computers—Charles Spurgeon literally penned a boatload of content. He’s considered to be the most widely read preacher and he produced more written material than any other Christian in history. Here’s a sampling of his production:

• Wrote over 140 books
• Penned up to 500 personal letters per week
• Published a monthly magazine called The Sword and the Trowel
• Transcribed his weekly sermons that today fill 63 volumes and total between 20–25 million words
  

Charles Spurgeon’s work has been translated into multiple languages and has sold millions of copies worldwide.

He can make you laugh, cry, and become awestruck with God with the stroke of his pen and eloquent prose. Here are seven writing tips taken from his life for aspiring writers.

1. Write to Help others

“We are very mistaken, if our work does not prove to be of the utmost value to purchasers of books…no object in view but the benefit of our brethren…it will be remuneration enough to have aided the ministers of God in the study of his word” (Sword & Trowel, March 1876).

2. Write Short

“Long visits, long stories, long essays, long exhortations, and long prayers, seldom profit those who have to do with them. Life is short. Time is short.…Moments are precious. Learn to condense, abridge, and intensify…In making a statement, lop off branches; stick to the main facts in your case. If you pray, ask for what you believe you will receive, and get through; if you speak, tell your message and hold your peace; if you write, boil down two sentences into one, and three words into two. Always when practicable avoid lengthiness — learn to be short” (Sword & Trowel, September 1871).

3. Write for God

“Courteous reader, throughout another year we have endeavored, month by month, to provide for your entertainment and edification. For both, because the first is to the most of men needful to produce the second, and also because God hath joined them together, and no man should put them asunder” (Sword & Trowel, Preface, 1875).

4. Write Clearly

“So I gathered that my sermons were clear enough to be understood by anybody who was not so conceited as to darken his own mind with pride. Now, if boys read The Sword and the Trowel it cannot be said to shoot over people’s heads, nor can it be said to be very dull and dreary” (Sword & Trowell, November 1874).

5. Write to Compel

“It was an ill day when religion became so decorous as to call dullness her companion, and mirth became so frivolous as to demand the divorce of instruction from amusement. It is not needful that magazines for Christian reading should be made up of pious platitudes, heavy discourses, and dreary biographies of nobodies: the Sabbath literature of our families might be as vivacious and attractive as the best of amusing serials, and yet as deeply earnest and profitable as the soundest of divines would desire” (Sword & Trowel, Preface, 1875).

“If the writer had possessed genius and literary ability, this might have been a highly interesting work; but as the writers’ sole qualification is his honesty of purpose, the work is most reliable and dull” (Sword & Trowel, November 1882).

6. Write, Write, & Write

“Many of our hours of pain and weakness have been lightened by preparing the first volume of our book on the Psalms for the press. If we could not preach we could write, and we pray that this form of service may be accepted of the Lord” (Sword & Trowel, January 1870).

7. Read to Write

“Read good authors, that you may know what English is, you will find it to be a language very rarely written nowadays, and yet the grandest of all human tongues” (Sword & Trowel, August 1871).
