Never underestimate the power of people – including Christians – to perceive and believe what they want to perceive and believe …
All evidence, logic and morality to the contrary.
Which is why God gave Scripture as His external standard of truth on those issues where He wants to hold us accountable …
To Himself and each other.
And why those who reject the plenary authority of God’s written Word become stuck in existential quagmires …
From which healthy churches and healthy disciples never seem to emerge.
