How Firm a Foundation - Part 2

Continuing with David Powlison's study of the hymn, "How Firm a Foundation," we will discuss the lens through which we look at the Scriptures. Do we want more from the Bible than God wants to provide?

If we only had one more verse on each of the top ten questions we wrangle over! And think what he could have told us with an extra paragraph or chapter on a few of the tough topics! If only the Lord had shortened the genealogies, omitted a few villages in the land distribution, and condensed the spec sheet for the temple's dimensions, dishware, décor, and duties. Our Bible would be exactly the same length - even shorter - but the questions that rattle the church could have been anticipated and definitively answered. But somehow, God in his providence didn't choose to do that.

It comes down to what you are looking for as you read and listen.

What do you want from the Bible? What is most important to you? What is most important to God in providing wisdom to his people?

We'll conclude this series tomorrow.
