How can we trust the Bible? | John 5:31-47

Willetton Christian Church

The late Reverend Tim Keller wrote that most visitors to his church [in New York] would say that “they know there are many great stories and sayings in the Bible, but today you can’t take it literally. What they mean is that the Bible is not entirely trustworthy because some parts – maybe many or most parts – are scientifically impossible, historically unreliable, and culturally regressive”. That’s strong language and leaves the Bible with lots of holes in it, but it’s not hard to find similar sentiments here. Where do you land on the question “How can we trust the Bible?”? I’m a convinced YES man, not because the church holds to this truth (important as that is) but because of personal conviction. I humbly believe there are credible reasons why we can – and should – trust the Bible, and that will be what I’m speaking about today. You may not agree. Why not get in touch later, and we can continue the discussion together? Thanks for listening. Preacher: John de Boer
