Scripture Alone by James R. White

How do we know Scripture is authoritative and reliable? How do we know the Bible is sufficient (i.e. enough) for us to know how to be saved and how live a godly life pleasing to the Lord? Do we do need further revelation or some other person or group of people to interpret it for us accurately so we might “truly” understand its meaning? These kinds of questions are among the most important issues every true Christian faces—the unique authority and unrivaled supremacy and truth of the Word of God. With the aid of a classic and very well written book by James R. White we will walk through this vital matter learning and growing together. James R. White is a longtime faithful Christian husband, father, grandfather, pastor, apologist, author, scholar, and debater who has blessed the militant church for decades now. From the back cover: “A denial of the sufficiency of Scripture is at the core of almost every form of opposition to the Christian faith today. Scripture Alone is written to instill a passionate love for and understanding of the Bible. In this defense of God's inspired Word, readers will comprehend what "God's Word"is, the nature of Scripture, the relationship of the Bible to tradition, how to apply Scripture to today's issues, and much more. Included is a faith-inspiring study of the canon--what it is and where it came from.”

We will learn and enjoy meaningful fellowship together around and in God’s Word, read and discuss Scripture and scenarios about Scripture together, and all throughout be equipped to learn how to defend the true faith once delivered together (see the book of Jude in God’s Word). Books are provided for you free of charge and we have more coming if you want one (we highly recommend it).Join us and be blessed!

Please note: children’s ministry runs at the same time, and children, usually 13 and older, are welcome to join the young and old adults for Following Jesus. We will defer to your judgment on these parents, and we trust you on this. Some older children may want to help with children’s ministry, and if you desire this, please speak to Pam M. about this. Thank you! Soli Deo Gloria.
