How do I respond to my pastor who thinks the Bible is not “necessarily” God’s Word?

BibleQuestion from a reader:

My pastor doesn't think the Bible is “necessarily” God's Word. He says the Bible is a record of God's interaction and communication with humanity over centuries and that human culture is intertwined with divine words. He thinks because of such things as patriarchal oppression of women, slavery, etc. the Bible doesn't clearly and purely reflect the mind of God for all eternity. How do I respond to him?

Answer from Randy Alcorn:

I think you should do what you can to get accurate apologetic information to your pastor that shows the Bible ...

How can a Christian keep an eternal perspective in the area of conservation and natural resources?

What do you think about the field of conservation and natural resources and how a Christian should keep an eternal perspective while working in this area?

I believe we as Christians need to be good stewards of the resources God has given us. Use it, reuse it, recycle it, and don’t abuse what God has given us. We should choose to respect the environment that God created and make sure we are doing what we can to keep it healthy and in a good condition. But also we should not feel guilty for using the resources He has given ...

SECTION ONE  

Understanding the Problem of Evil and Suffering

 

Chapter One: Why is the Problem of Evil and Suffering So Important?  

 More people point to the problem of evil and suffering as their reason for not believing in God than any other—it is not merely a problem, it is the problem. You will not get far in a conversation with someone who rejects the Christian faith before the problem of evil is raised. Pulled out like the ultimate trump card, it’s supposed to silence believers and prove that the all-good ...

Books with Forewords by Randy

Why, O God?Why, O God? Suffering and Disability in the Bible and the Church

by Larry Waters and Roy Zuck

Foreword by Randy Alcorn

I have never said yes to endorsing a book, much less to writing its foreword, unless I believed in it. I anticipated Why, O God? would be good, but I am pleased to find it exceptional.

Each chapter makes a unique contribution, and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Rarely have I seen biblical and theological knowledge integrated with moving and helpful personal stories and extremely practical ministry guidance. And as a bonus, I enjoyed the beautiful art.
