Is the Eternal, Almighty God capable of communicating his mind to his creatures? This is one of the things at stake when we consider the doctrine of the clarity of Scripture.

They also provide a few principles to bear in mind when we disagree on the interpretation of a passage of Scripture.

The sufficiency of Scripture is frequently mentioned and easily misunderstood. But because it touches on so many key areas of the Christian life—where to go to church, what gets preached in the pulpit, and how to deal with matters of personal conscience—it’s really important that we get this doctrine right. The sufficiency of Scripture means the Bible has all the divine words we need for salvation, sanctification, and service. It doesn’t mean Christians never need medicine or counselling.

More and more people are claiming to be spiritual but not religious. It offers an attractive alternative to the bleakness of atheism and the dogma of religion. After all, you get to come up with your own customized, bespoke approach to connecting with a higher power. But it also comes with some haunting questions: “How real is this spiritual connection I have? And is it personal enough to satisfy me?” Maybe it’s time to give historic Christianity another look. Because it’s only in Jesus Christ that we can experience a spiritual connection real enough to satisfy our minds and personal enough to satisfy our hearts.
