There is a famine in the pulpits and in the pews. Many christians are starving for biblical truth that will feed their souls. In the mist of all of the frivolous teaching that does not assault the soul nor does it reveal the depthness of God, there must be a resurgence of biblical truth and seeking God through a proper interpretation of scripture. We must get to the truth!! but in order to get to the truth we must know how to interpret the scriptures properly in order to deduce the truth. Arthur T. Pierson in knowing the scriptures stated, “critical study is not to be discouraged; it is not only proper but helpful in its proper sphere, when conducted with a proper spirit. He further states, “A rightly conducted examination of God’s word will be found to yield not only rich results in homiletics and hermeneutics, but in apologetics. In the structure and contents of Holy Scripture may be found a triumphant answer to all assaults upon its inspiration and authority as a divine Book and the standard of doctrine and duty. The Bible is its own witness; and whoever, turning from all external defenses to the book itself, will seek to make himself master of its contents and to enter sympathetically into its spirit, will find himself lodged in an impregnable fortress where he laughs in derision at all who threaten to overthrow it…” We study to God’s glory to be infused with God’s word….Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God Col. 3:16. Let us be like david who cried out in Psalm 1:2, “but his delight is in the law of the LORD and in His law he meditates day and night.” and like Paul who commanded us in 2 tim. 2:15, “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.” Saints like us be biblical exegetes of the word of God!!! But the question is are you being fed at your church?
