Went to a UMC while out of town one Sunday morning and the woman pastor's sermon was on scripture, no longer needed by us today, in our new enlightened age. Jeffrey your message here today, is greatly needed in our churches.

A wider audience of Methodists needs to read this. Wonderfully stated. John Wesley himself would be pleased. You definitely “get it.”

This is really well written and well thought out/understandable. The only question that I’m led to ask is which of the following three ideas do you prefer to describe biblical authority:

The Bible is the Word of God.

The Bible is the inspired Word of God.

The Bible is inspired by God.

Thanks for writing this.
