Religion & Spirituality
"Gosh, I wish God would just speak to me, that He'd give me some direction here." Today we consider the second of the five solas, the heart cries of the reformation: Scripture alone, or sola Scriptura. Do you know God's Word? Do you know God? Can you know God apart from His Word? Pastor Burke Parsons of Ligonier Ministries recently tweeted that "The protestant church is in greater need of reformation today than the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century." How far have today's protestant churches drifted from Scripture? Sola Scriptura was the driving force behind the Reformation. Many gave their lives in order to translate or distribute copies of God's Word into various languages so that many could know the Lord through His Word. May our time studying this sola strengthen our love for and dependence upon God's Holy Word.
