00:00:00.000 Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request.
00:00:03.360 If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show,
00:00:06.440 would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?
00:00:09.760 This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do
00:00:12.880 to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible.
00:00:17.540 Thanks.
00:00:19.640 Jesus said,
00:00:20.760 Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:25.260 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:27.200 the word of god has limitless application rc sproul often would say that any given text of
00:00:38.400 the scripture only has one interpretation but limitless application there are many christians
00:00:46.880 today who perhaps in the setting of a bible study will get together in a home and and they'll read
00:00:52.420 a chapter of scripture together and then they'll begin to discuss its meaning and if there are 10
00:00:58.600 people in the bible study by the conclusion you'll have 10 different meanings if there are 15 people
00:01:05.560 15 different meanings what does it mean to you one might ask what does this text mean to you
00:01:11.360 and the answer rhetorically should be it doesn't matter who cares
00:01:18.020 it doesn't matter what it means to you it matters what it means to god god has determined the
00:01:25.460 meaning of his word god says a certain thing and god intends to convey a certain message by what
00:01:33.020 he has said the meaning is not up to subjective or pluralistic interpretations that said the
00:01:40.920 application is multifaceted. So one text, one doctrine has one meaning, what God means by it.
00:01:50.200 The actual meaning, the objective truth, the absolute truth. But then that truth can be applied
00:01:56.820 in multiple arenas. That truth of God's Word and what He means by it can be applied in our personal
00:02:04.060 lives, in our homes, in our churches, and in society at large, and all the varying realms
00:02:10.980 of society, economically, politically, culturally, etc.
00:02:18.200 But God cares about every facet of this world, and He has called us as His people to apply
00:02:26.140 His Word to every facet of this world.
00:02:29.360 The Christian has an answer.
00:02:31.780 We cannot merely salute the inerrancy of Scripture, that is, the infallibility and authority of God's Word, but in our actions or our lack thereof, our complacency and our compliance with tyranny, essentially saluting the inerrancy of God's Word, but in our actions or inaction denying the sufficiency of God's Word.
00:02:56.840 That's what we have occurring in the church at large today.
00:03:00.080 We have a bunch of people, a bunch of people who continue to claim to be Bible-believing Christians
00:03:04.920 saying, of course God's Word is authoritative.
00:03:06.940 And of course God's Word is pure, infallible, and perfect.
00:03:10.880 But God's Word just doesn't really speak to these things.
00:03:13.380 God doesn't really care about these things.
00:03:16.060 God doesn't really care about politics, and His Word doesn't really speak to politics.
00:03:20.160 God doesn't really have something to say about vaccines.
00:03:22.540 He doesn't really have something to say about inflation.
00:03:25.020 He doesn't really have something to say about borders, but that's an extra-biblical idea,
00:03:29.500 and that's nationalism, but not Christianity.
00:03:32.560 No, the Bible has something to say.
00:03:36.040 It's not enough to believe in the authority of Scripture while denying the sufficiency of Scripture.
00:03:41.260 The sufficiency of Scripture for what?
00:03:43.960 What is Scripture sufficient for?
00:03:45.820 For life and godliness.
00:03:48.340 Yes, Scripture is sufficient for showing us the way to salvation and those things which are eternal,
00:03:53.580 but the scripture itself testifies that it is sufficient for all of life, for life and godliness,
00:04:00.420 all of life, corporate life, social life, economic life, political life. The scripture does speak to
00:04:10.920 these things. Thanks so much for listening, but real quick, before you go, do us a small favor,
00:04:16.320 take a moment, and leave us a five-star review if you enjoyed the show. This is undoubtedly the best
00:04:22.400 way that you can help us get this biblically
00:04:24.640 faithful content to as many
00:04:26.440 people as possible. Thanks so much.
