About Through the Lens of Scripture
Through the lens of Scripture comes from my understanding as a Christ-follower that the Bible is our FINAL authority on every issue. God’s opinion found in the Bible outweighs our own and anyone else’s opinion.
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17*
As Christ-followers we are faced with situations that tempt us to trust our own desires and follow our emotions. If we understand that God’s opinion is what matters, then obeying His Word becomes our desire.
Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You. Psalm 119:11
We will be looking through the lens of Scripture to determine what God’s Word says about how we view people, relationships, issues, circumstances and events. In order to do that, we must read, study, meditate upon and memorize God’s Word.
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15
I will meditate on Your precepts And regard Your ways. I shall delight in Your statutes; I shall not forget Your word. Psalm 119:15-16

I look forward to sharing with all of you!
