The Holy Bible. Read it for yourself.

The Holy Bible. Read it for yourself. Don't listen to the critics, they ultimately offer no help, no hope. No heaven, just hell.

In the final analysis, the rejection of the authority of God’s written word by our chaotic society appears to stem from a desire to maintain human autonomy. It is idolatry and elevates man above God. It ultimately causes the chaos we see all around us.

As Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones once said, referring to Romans 3, “A very good way of testing any view that you may hold is to ask, ‘Is this view humbling to me and glorifying to God?’ If it is, it is probably right. You will not go far wrong if whatever you are holding is glorifying God and humbling man. But if your view seems to glorify you and to query God, there is no need to argue or to go into details – it is wrong.”
​
What comes from shifting authority from God to men? We only have to look at human history to see some of the fruit of undermining confidence in God and the Bible.

Way back in 1965, Lloyd-Jones noted that, "I have no hesitation in saying that the main factor in the lowering of the moral tone and life of this country has been the loss of authority of the Bible. The Bible has been riddled with criticism - there is no authority here any longer. Modern theologians have put up their own suppositions, theories and speculations."
​
Often, men and women complicate things and take things too far in their ultimately pride-driven pursuits. Like a wife constantly criticizing her husband, belittling him, ridiculing him, comparing him poorly to other men, submitting to other men, and demonstrating publicly her lack of confidence in him, so modern critical scholars have done to the Bible.

This undermining results in the children having reduced confidence in their father, and the congregations having reduced confidence that the Bible is true and can really help them. It is the children and the congregations who suffer greatly from this tragedy.
The good news is that God is sovereign. He is authoritative. He has given us his trustworthy word in the Bible. He has given us his Son, Jesus, that "whosoever believes in him has eternal life and shall not perish" (John 3:16), and he has given us his Holy Spirit to guide us.

Read the Bible for yourself. Don't listen to the critics, they ultimately offer no help, no hope. No heaven, just hell. They, along with any men or women who lead you away from God, cannot help you; they have no power to save souls, they have no power to change lives.

Trust Jesus. He alone can help you.
