We receive ( Matthew 7 v 24 - 27 )

R.C.Sproul wrote the following in his book,'Can I trust the Bible',' Church councils used the Latin word recipimus  ( we receive ) in reference to the canon; they were saying'' we receive'' various books to be included in Scripture. By using the word receive, the church made it clear that .....they recognised the voice of God in Scripture and displayed  their willingness to submit to His word'.I believe the greatest enemy that ancient faced was not the Philistines, Assyrians,Babylonians,no, their greatest enemies  were the enemies within, the false prophets, and the false doctrines,they taught. It is the truth as is found in Gods word ,that alone, sets us free,depart from Gods truth you will depart from God who is truth, human flawed reason will take over, and with it,morality will slip we will not only accept the errors of today, and will even defend them.Solomon could  write .'trust in the Lord  with all your heart and lean not unto thine own understanding',( Proverbs 3 v 5) but most of his reign was lived out in disobedience to it.Remember we must believe the word of God,hold fast to the word of God,and obey the word of God.
