What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ. (Philippians 3:8)
It is one matter to know the Scriptures, and quite another matter to know Him who wrote the Scriptures. The Bible is not a record of men who knew the Scriptures but of men and women who knew the Lord. Sometimes religious people do not make the transition from the Scriptures to Jesus. I suppose when they go to Heaven they will become acquainted with Him then.
I do not think anyone has more respect for the Scriptures than myself. I hold them to be inerrant and unchangeable. The promises of the Scripture are going to be our guidance and strength during the coming days of moral and physical chaos in the United States.
The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. (Psalms 34:7)
He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. (Psalms 112:7)
Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. (Psalms 125:1
We are going to need these promises in the days to come. They will stand securely when everything in which we have trusted is being shaken.
