Reading the Bible is a privilege. But this privilege brings the responsibility of interpreting Scripture correctly.
Listen today on @RYMRadio as @RCSproul introduces foundational rules, methods, and principles for drawing out the meaning of God’s Word.

Scripture does what psychoanalysis can't do—it pierces the heart, penetrates deep into the soul and judges the motives, the thoughts, the intentions of the heart.
To see yourself in the light of Scripture, is to see yourself as you really are.
—John MacArthur
Jonny Ardavanis responding to the question of whether a woman can teach from the pulpit of a church under the authority of her elders on a Sunday morning:
"Well, listen, the Bible either says women can preach, or they cannot...I would just encourage people, you and I are not allowed to make arbitrary decisions and say, 'You know what, we think she can teach under our authority once a month.'
A woman may be preaching under the authority of her elders, but she is most definitely not preaching under the authority of the New Testament, nor the Holy Spirit who wrote it...
You may be asking, 'Would I leave a church that has a woman preaching, even if under the authority of her elders?' Yes, I would. Yes, I would. I would ask the elders to reconsider their position. I would present to them Scripture.
And you may be asking, 'Why? What's the consequence of this?' Well, the consequence of this is just, it's disobedience. It's in the Bible. What's the consequence? Weak churches.
And when men don't lead, churches die. And when churches break down, the culture breaks down, and you're watching this in our world today. Like in the garden, when you overthrow God's design for the family and for the church, there are disastrous consequences."
@golfnpreacher@alisa_childers It was a book review. I’ve done extensive research on JMC (hours reviewing his podcasts, writings, sermons) and believe they did a great service to the body of Christ by warning about his teachings in light of Scripture. https://t.co/mYTkj5FXxX
In the best 2 min explanation of the gospel you’ll ever hear, Voddie Baucham tells us why the virgin birth was so important:
“Because if He’s born of ordinary generation, He’s born in sin … but because He’s not, He’s clean and His record is clean!”
What’s heartbreaking about those who reject Christ is that they’re turning away from the only hope that can save them. In rejecting Him, they reject the very One who’s “the way, the truth, and the life”. Outside of Christ, there’s no forgiveness, no true peace, and no eternal life, only the emptiness of trusting in what can’t save. Yet even now, His mercy’s extended to all who will repent and believe.
The film American Gospel: Christ Alone is now available to watch for free on YouTube—permanently! We pray the Lord will use this film to help people understand the Biblical gospel in contrast to the distortions in American culture. (Starts at 7:59.)

@thisisfoster Spiritual directors are part of the mystical contemplative spirituality movement. John Mark Comer, Ruth Haley Barton, Richard Rohr, and Rich Villodas are proponents. They teach things like imaginative prayer, breath prayers, listening prayers, and centering prayer.
@MilenaSchillerN@EstieMaddie What wonderful news! Grace to You (https://t.co/BHfMWfbAPH - started by John MacArthur) is an amazing resource and can help you learn as you consider finding a church 💛 https://t.co/F54lNfKD6X
Everything we need to know about God and about us and about salvation and about the future and time and eternity is contained in the Scripture. Everything is here. All that God wants us to know is here.

Does your pastor use the Bible to preach his message, or does the Bible use your pastor to preach its message?

@JustinPetersMin Yes. This is also taught in many churches today by contemplative spirituality advocates such as John Mark Comer, Ruth Haley Barton, Rich Villodas who encourage listening prayer, imaginative prayer, centering prayer, lectio divina, silence & solitude, etc in order to hear from God
Is "I Speak Jesus" biblical? How can you make sure the Christian music you're listening to or the Christian artist you're following isn't teaching you false doctrine?
