Just over a year ago I launched a you tube video devotional ministry. Since then I have posted 19 video devotionals viewed 1,762 times by viewers in 12 countries. I am grateful to God for that. I have since had quintuple by pass surgery and I had to take a hiatus from those video shoots.
However, my health has improved and next week I will be resuming the videos with new devotionals being posted as I have time to study and produce them.
I am asking for my friends to pray for a meaningful experience as these new productions are posted. Specifically, I am praying that God will lead me to just the right Biblical lessons that will be helpful to those viewing them.

The Inerrancy of Scripture
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works” (II Timothy 3:16,17).
Recently a FB friend wrote and suggested that our God is a God of tolerance. His point was that Christians should be tolerant of everyones view (and behaviors) however liberal it may be deemed and that they should allow for it. His comments were in the context of "don't take the Bible to seriously"
It would seem that this more liberal position does not allow for teaching (imposition) of doctrine, correction, reproof, and instruction in righteousness.
For me this notion of tolerance is a liberal construct designed to give equal weight to all belief systems and validate most, if not all, behaviors.
I appreciate everyones view, even tolerate it. That, however, does not allow me to ignore what God lays on my heart. Either the above quoted scripture means what it says or we can have little faith in anything scripture says. Forgive my simplistic views.
Is our God intentionally ambiguous or does He say what He means? I accept that we do not have all of the answers to the mystery of scripture but surely God has given us some of those answers. If the great issues of life are not clear in it's pages, then why follow it at all?
