The Scriptures should challenge us. GOD Gospel Life Kingdom Living Reflecting Christ

The Scriptures should challenge us. Challenge Threat Opportunity for growth

The Scriptures should challenge our culture.  Won’t put up with sound doctrine (v. 3a)  Listen for what they want to hear (v. 3b)  Find teachers who won’t challenge (v. 3c)  Choose lies over listening to truth (v. 4) Are we falling into these patterns or allowing God—through the Scriptures—to challenge us and our culture?

The Scriptures should challenge our culture.

Practical Tips  Read SLOWLY and multiple times  Engage your mind and heart  Think about what the text is really saying  Practice CONFESSION  In what ways am I not living out the text?  Where do I need God to transform me?  “Search me, O LORD, and know my heart, Test me, and know my anxious thoughts, See if there is any offensive way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.” PSALM 139:23-24

Proverbs 12:1
