We know the Bible is the Spirit-breathed, infallible, sufficient Word of God. We know it is eternal truth. But does it give us every answer to every question we might have about life? What about 'matters of conscience'? Do we read things into the Bible in order to maintain our own beliefs? Do we try to look righteous like the legalists and Pharisees of Jesus' time? Do we ignore or discount principles clearly stated in Scripture to justify our sin like the Gnostics or today's emergents?
Pastor Randy White (no, not the ex-spouse to Paula White!) joins us this morning to discuss these important questions. And in our final segment we look at the problem of having celebrities in our churches, exemplified by a recent statement by Justin Bieber saying his church, Hillsong, welcomes open homosexuals to attend their church. What is meant by a "welcoming church" these days? Sure, you can "come just as you are," but Jesus said to repent, not to stay in sin - whatever the sin.
