“But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”
‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭3:14-17‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,

This stands out because Paul says, “All Scripture is breathed out by God”.  This one clause in this one verse can be very impactful in how you read the Bible. If you chose to believe it, you will wrestle with the Bible and discuss diligently how to understand the more perplexing parts, but you will also grow very close to God as you cannot rely solely on your intelligence to understand. If you chose not to believe it, I think it will be easier to be tempted. Please pray that we and our friends chose to believe it. Please pray William Curtis and the Curtis family.
