The Bible - Still Worth Reading

It is disconcerting to many to see and hear about all the different changes in the beliefs and practices of churches around us these days.  It does seem that many churches are prepared to change both belief and practices to keep up with public demand.  Belief in the doctrines of the virgin birth and the resurrection of Christ is questioned, and conduct once considered immoral is now an accepted norm, even amongst clergy.

However the Bible has not changed, nor can it, being the written word of God.  The truths and standards set are still as authoritative as they were in the time of Jesus and the apostles.

We are warned in the Bible of the dangers of men setting their own standards in religious matters.  Here are words from the apostle Paul to the Ephesians in Acts 20:

"I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.  Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things to draw away disciples after them".

Paul in his second letter to Timothy also warns that in the last days there will be "men, having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof.  From such turn away", he says.

His advice to the Ephesians is "Therefore watch, and remember that I ceased not to warn everyone, night and day with tears".  He ends by commending them to the words of God - in other words, holding on to Bible teaching.

What can we do in these days?  We suggest that one way is to read the Bible for ourselves.  Also to talk about it with others in a Bible reading group, and to pray for guidance to get the real truths of belief and of conduct, straight from the pages of God's word.
