The Bible Made Simple: Its Formation, Limitations and Ultimate Intention.

The goal of the “Simple” series is to clarify Jesus’ intention for systems and cultural ideas in which certain promoted values are against the heart of God. This week, we try to simplify the Bible by focussing on its limitations. Scripture is good in being the written word of God’s values, but we miss the point of it when the Bible is used as an end in itself for our own self-righteousness. Instead when used a means of grace, the correcting nature of scripture can reveal where we are living against God’s values, yet it cannot shield us from demonic trouble and the tension we feel when we confront areas where cultural and God’s values clash. But the encouragement is when we face our greatest resistance, there will be our greatest spiritual breakthrough.
