CG7’s Whaid Rose: Get into the Bible

In the today’s issue of its The Bible Advocate, CG7-Denver has the following from its President Whaid Rose:

I’m grateful that CoG7 pioneer Gilbert Cranmer’s conviction of “My Bible and my Bible alone” is still gladly affirmed among us. But the state of the Church and our culture calls for more than verbal ascent. It requires rediscovering the Bible, as in 2 Kings 22, when during Josiah’s reign, the Book of the Law was found while repairing the temple. Its reading and application sparked Israel’s greatest revival. May we get into the Bible until the Bible gets into us, sparking renewal in CoG7 in 2011.

While Whaid Rose and I have long had our differences, I agree with him that all in the Church of God need to get into the Bible and get the word of God into us.

The Apostle Paul wrote:

16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 That the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

Since you cannot be thoroughly equipped without knowing all scripture, reading the entire Bible is something that real Christians need to do.

God inspired the writing of the Bible. Christians should read and heed it.
