The sufficiency of Scripture is frequently mentioned and easily misunderstood. But because it touches on so many key areas of the Christian life—where to go to church, what gets preached in the pulpit, and how to deal with matters of personal conscience—it’s really important that we get this doctrine right. The sufficiency of Scripture means the Bible has all the divine words we need for salvation, sanctification, and service. It doesn’t mean Christians never need medicine or counselling.

PP228 Spiritual But Not Religious (GNFY #7)

Gospel, Spirituality, Word of God

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 29:02 — 53.2MB)

More and more people are claiming to be spiritual but not religious. It offers an attractive alternative to the bleakness of atheism and the dogma of religion. After all, you get to come up with your own customized, bespoke approach to connecting with a higher power. But it also comes with some haunting questions: “How real is this spiritual connection I have? And is it personal enough to satisfy me?” Maybe it’s time to give historic Christianity another look. Because it’s only in Jesus Christ that we can experience a spiritual connection real enough to satisfy our minds and personal enough to satisfy our hearts.

The hap-happiest season of all can also be the hardest. But then, that’s what Christmas is all about. The whole reason Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem was to help us in our suffering. The Son of God took on flesh to be our Saviour of Christmas Past, Saviour of Christmas Present, and Saviour of Christmas Yet to Come. Christmas isn’t just for the kids. It’s also for the crushed.

God sometimes leads his children into deep waters, but he walks through those waters with us. And from their experience in those deep waters, some of God’s children have used of the Lord to give us precious spiritual truth written in beautiful poetic form. In our second installment on hymn writers and their hymns, we consider the life behind one famous and one not-so-famous Christian hymn.
