Scripture has brought us light in darkness, strength in weakness, comfort in sadness. It isn’t difficult to endorse the Psalmist’s experience that the words of God are ‘more precious than gold… sweeter than honey’.
So it’s distressing to watch the Bible being dislodged from its position of authority, not only in our nation but also in the church.
Here we focus on the urgent need to continue in, respond to, interpret and expound God’s Word.
