Book Review: From God to Us by Geisler and Nix

This post is a review of the book, From God to Us by Geisler and Nix. A work that should be on the shelves of any serious Bible student.

Yes, that is a log in my eye, thank-you

Jesus used a humorous illustration to caution us against finding fault with our brothers. We must first remove the log from our own eye.

On the value of doctrine

Perhaps we should hit the pause button and stop to think about what kind of disciples we are making. We would do well to remember Jesus’ words in Matthew 7.

The church is not an organization that is built to eventually fail. In fact, when Jesus gave us our mission of making disciples, he also told us that he would be with us as we do it. Jesus began it, Jesus sustains it, and Jesus will complete what he started.

A great reminder about Bible reading

If I approach the text with humility and self-denial the result will be much different than if I approach it with a sense of superiority and judgment.
