On the Word of God
Manage episode 324598344 series 2945711
What is the “Word of God?” Can the Bible be trusted? Is preaching important? What do “inerrancy” mean? Infallibility? Inspiration of scripture? Does the Bible even still matter?
On this episode of The Podechesis Podcast, the guys talk about questions 89-90 in John Wesley’s Revision of the Westminster Shorter Catechism. The guys will talk about how the Word is living and active, the power of interpretation, the necessity of preaching, and how the Bible is to be read for formation as well as information.
Oh--and a deep discussion about Wordle (ha!) starts things off.
