The Inconvenient Holiness of the Word of God
Oct. 29, 2015
The Bible is brimming with passages that can make Christians blush, squirm, and reel with embarrassment—stories and passages that can make us feel uncomfortable. In response, many have opted for a feel-good faith by embracing only the socially-acceptable and non-offensive passages in Scripture. But if we really believe that the Scriptures are God-breathed, holy, and essential for faith and life then we cannot shy away from these passages and recognize that they ultimately point to the holiness of God. May we not be ashamed of the gospel and dare to embrace the entire Bible for a healthy, holy, and joy-filled faith.
