Reclaiming the Sufficiency of Scripture

by Rob Rienow

Overview

Rob Rienow examines the doctrine of the sufficiency of Scripture with a lens that also sees how this impacts every matter of faith and practice. This is a concise work that will deepen your love and passion for God's Word. This is an excellent resource for all ministry staff to read as well as believers who share a commitment to the inerrancy of Scripture. Rob Rienow allows us to reexamine this vital doctrine and understand the foundation it sets for all future ministry. This book asks the reader to go beyond the knowledge of the authority of God's Word and let it shape and determine how ministry is carried out in the life of the church. Discover not only what God is calling you to do, but how He wants you to do it.

Read an Excerpt

God's words are powerful. These revealed words, in the hand of the Holy Spirit, are able to bring people to repentance and faith in Jesus! When a sermon is preached, it is not the wise or elquent words of the preacher that have the power to transform lives, rather it is when he speaks the words God has already given us. As a parent, my words do not have the power to renew the minds of my children, but God's words do! If you were Satan and the demons, what do you think one of your strategies might be to keep people from faith in Christ, and for those who have faith, to keep them from growing? You would keep them as far away from the Bible as you possibly could. His attack in the church is subtle. Maybe he can get us to read a lot of Christian books, books about the Bible, but spend only a few minutes here and there in the real thing. Most Christians I know, including myself, struggle to spend consistent time reading and studying the Bible. I believer it is because of this constand spiritual attack.
