As the world's highest IQ record holder, I believe the Bible is the perfect, eternal, and final Word of God. Therefore, the Bible doesn’t need to be updated. The world needs to catch up.
In an age of Deconstruction and Doubt, how can we engage our friends and neighbors with the hope of the gospel?
In this Q&A, author @DominicDone answers these questions and many more.

It is so common for visionaries to lead with the Why and What and skip right over the How.
I’m one of those people.
And I’ve been learning in this season of ministry just how (pardon the pun) I and others need the Strategists, the Builders, and the Architects among us and alongside us in leadership.
Praise God that he empowers his people with a wide variety of gifts and graces!
Sitting in my study shedding tears over my Bible - feeling deeply grieved over the state of the Church, and our nation, and knowing that the truth contained in the Holy Scriptures is the only real hope for humanity.
O, Lord we need another great awakening.
Tears.
@richsbrown3 So pumped to see what the Lord has in store for you with these church plants. I will continue to keep you in my prayers, and have no doubt it will be EPIC Kingdom work!
The work of church planting requires a faith so as to move mountains. This cannot be done by any earthly might, nor by power, but by the Holy Spirit of God Most High.
Living stone upon living stone, Christ will build his Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Zechariah 4:6–7
Then he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts. Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain. And he shall bring forward the top stone amid shouts of ‘Grace, grace to it!’”
We had such a wonderful group on Wednesday night asking the question "Can I Trust the Bible?" (Cf. When Faith Fails, ch. 5 by @DominicDone.) Reminded of this question and answer from the Westminster Larger Catechism:
Q. 4. What evidence is there that the Bible is the word of God?
A. The Bible clearly shows that it is the word of God by its majesty and purity, by the agreement of all its parts, by its unified aim to give all glory to God, and by its illuminating power to convince and convert sinners and to comfort and build up believers unto salvation. However, only the Spirit of God, testifying by and with the Bible in our hearts, can completely persuade us that it is truly the word of God.
