As maturing Christians, we should
find value in diverse views challenging
us to further study and to be open to
additional perspectives. While we may
not agree with all the details in each

13 How We Got Our Bible: Dr. Chuck Missler
The Bible is the single most important book of all time, selling
an estimated 5 billion copies. It has been translated into 349
languages, and 2123 languages have at least one book of the
Bible. At the same time, the Bible is scrutinized and attacked
more than any other book in the world. It has been outlawed,
confiscated and burned at different times and places in history.
It has been smuggled into jail cells and across borders...

I think it is safe to say that most people who would call themselves
Christians would consider some sort of Bible study an essential
element of their life. To that end I wish to address two basic
questions about Bible study: Why study the Bible? How should
we study the Bible?...

Eschatology is a part of theology concerned with the final events of history,
or the ultimate destiny of humanity. This concept is commonly referred to as
the “End Times” or “Last Days.”
In this field of study, there is a minefield of disinformation, misunderstandings
and myths concerning many future events:
•The Rapture
•Does the Church go through the “Great Tribulation”?
•Is there a literal “Millennium”?
•Does the Church “replace” Israel?
•What happened to the Davidic Covenant?
•Is Everyone in Heaven equal?
•Under Grace, does behavior matter?
Dr. Chuck Missler sheds light on these and some of the widely accepted
myths surrounding some of the most important events on our horizon.

DEAR FRIENDS
I
n this month’s edition of the Personal Update news journal we continue
to look at the importance of discerning what is truth, the foundation
of truth, being an ambassador of our Lord and Saviour and the
importance of studying the Word, breathed from the One that declared
the end from the beginning.
We thank you for all your support and prayers for Chuck as his health
continues to improve. Sadly, Chuck’s second son Mark Jay Missler, 54,
of Mooresville, NC, went to be with the Lord on Thursday, February 4,
2016. He was born in California to Chuck and the late Nancy Klitten
Missler. He is survived by his wife of 25 years, Lisette Missler; son,
Mason Missler; sisters, Lisa Bright and Meshell Missler.
Mark loved serving his community. He was a Realtor/Broker and a
member of the Cove Church where he played drums in the band. Mark
was a volunteer for the Lake Norman Volunteer Fire Department for
over 15 years, Captain of the Marine Unit, head of the Dive Team and a
member of the Board of Directors. He was a loving husband and father
and will be missed.
As Chuck reiterated during our weekly live
Q&A broadcast on Feb 10th (freely available
on tv.khouse.org or our YouTube channel),
while discussing Nancy and Mark’s passing,
getting though any circumstance or situation,
“It’s nothing more than a trust in Him.”
God bless you,

Bertrand Russell states, “Although truth and falsehood are properties

Truth and falsehood, rather than being inherent to the assertion,
are determined by supporting data and information. To conclude

throughout what passes for reasoning today. Legal professionals call

these facts “evidence” and enter such evidence into
the court record from which they make their case.
Many familiar books evoke this “case from evidence
structure” such as Evidence That Demands a Verdict
by Josh McDowell and The Case for Christ by
Lee Strobel. Bob Cornuke, a regular speaker at our
Strategic Perspective International Conference in
Idaho, includes the following on his website for the
BASE Institute:
“We acknowledge (the Bible) as our reliable standard
of truth. Using the Bible and other historic sources,
coupled with scholarly research supported by
archaeological evidence, BASE endeavors to dispel
the notion that the Bible is a collection of fables
and legend.” 1
BIO
Chris Corlett,
Conference Speaker
Chris and his wife of nearly
30 years host regional
events and conferences
serving primarily Northeastern United States and
South-eastern Canada.
He speaks and writes on
many topics and relies on
his background in public
education as a teacher
and curriculum writer for
much of his presentations
and publications. He
presented at the Strategic
Perspectives conferences
on the topic of “Education
as the Everyman Strategic

The “Federal Rules of Evidence”2 codify sixtyseven individual rules grouped into eleven articles
which judges and lawyers meticulously master if
they want to apply them in the courtrooms in which they practice.
Evidence must Neither this article nor this author claim this sort
of scholarship. It is enough to determine whether
be both reliable evidence is good evidence to remember this:
and relevant.
“Evidence must be both reliable and relevant.”
Dr. Missler captures this in one of his vignettes he peppers throughout
his teachings and it goes something like this – When confronted by
the claim of the remarkable accuracy of an atomic clock, he asked
the two questions which needed to be asked: “How do we know?”
and “Why do we care?” The first question explores the reliability of
the data and the second question
All scripture is given

by inspiration of God,
useful and applicable.
The Bible meets this dual test of
evidence. “All scripture is given by

for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.”3
Beyond this textual claim, its prophetic accuracy (e.g., The Seventy Weeks
of Daniel, The Virgin Birth), its heptadic structure and its historical
accuracy are among the many compelling reasons to conclude the
Bible is reliable. And Paul lists four ways – doctrine, reproof, correction
and instruction in righteousness – in which it is relevant regardless of
the century in which it is read. Isaiah asserts, “The grass withereth,
the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.”4
There is evidence for the Bible as “an integrated message system from
outside our time domain.” The Bible is itself a valuable piece of evidence
when supporting an assertion or claim.
Consider the following. Shortly after the United States Supreme
Court’s decision regarding homosexual marriage,5 I found myself in
a conversation among my office colleagues. When they asked me my
opinion on the ruling, my response went something like this. “What
you consider a contract, I call a covenant. What you consider secular,
I view as sacred. So we already diverge on the very nature of marriage.
More than anything, the Supreme Court position relies on the sufficiency
of a majority when instead my position relies on the necessity of an
Authority. And I want to enter into evidence a document to which you
will likely object. I refer to the Holy Bible.” Among these “legal eagles”
I had no better argument than one based on the evidence found in
Genesis 2:24, Mark 10:7-8 and Ephesians 5:31. “Therefore shall a man

leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they
shall be one flesh.” I wanted nothing more than to “enter into evidence”
these passages. (It is interesting to note there are (two or) three witnesses6
– Moses, Jesus and Paul!) Had the conversation been in a courtroom
instead of the break room, a judge would have addressed their objections
to my reliance on the Holy Bible as evidence. “Sustained!” “Overruled!”
Enough television shows and movies are set in courtrooms for us to be
familiar with this process even if we are not proficient. But we need
a familiarity and a functionality when we are practicing “contending
earnestly for the faith” in the courtrooms in which we find ourselves –
our workplaces, our homes, our neighborhoods and even our churches.
Let’s take a look at some simple reliability tests that you can apply
when reading an article or hearing a news clip. Is the evidence based
on eyewitness testimony or on secondhand information? The apostles

sources confirming the claim become more important. We hear of
horrific crimes on the news and these stories often cite “multiple
eyewitnesses” of the tragedy. Of course, we have no sense of the credibility
of these eyewitnesses or whether they are qualified to render relevant
testimony. In a courtroom, whether entering testimony or a document,
the court requires a foundation be laid first. Laying a foundation is “(t)
he act of demonstrating to a judge that a piece of evidence a litigant
would like to introduce meets evidence rules requirements concerning
authenticity and trustworthiness. For example, a medical report cannot
be introduced unless the physician who wrote it testifies that he wrote
it; and a photograph must be authenticated by the photographer or by
testimony that it truly reflects a particular place or event. Even after a
proper foundation is laid, however, evidence can still be excluded if, for
example, it is not relevant to the point for which it is being offered.”7
At the very least we need to insist on eyewitness testimony or multiple
testimony from sources both known and trusted.
Relevance is often in the eye of the beholder and so common is the
habit to reject as irrelevant the information which does not support
our position that this tendency is named. Confirmation bias is readily
seen by those who rely on one news source. I have friends who swear by
Fox News and others who swear at it! NPR for some of my acquaintances
stands for National Public Radio while others insist it stands for
No Point in Regarding! I suggest that information that is confirmed by
both sources is likely the most reliable and, where they differ, the “whole
truth and nothing but the truth” is likely found by combining both
sources. F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote, “The test of a first-rate intelligence
is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time,
and still retain the ability to function.”
So truth corresponds to evidence and that evidence must be both
relevant and reliable. Next time we will look at The Rhetoric on Rhetoric
and examine how to make a convincing argument supporting your
position. In the meantime, you might want to look at our featured
products. You can write to Chris Corlett at [email protected]

the Bible into English. Every week, millions of Christians gather to
discuss its words, even as “higher” critics attempt to explain it through
the lens of metaphysical naturalism. What we believe about the Bible
can be the most important, central issue in our lives, threading its way
into the very fabric of who we are and how we live each day.
Where did the Bible come from? Why do we believe its origin is
supernatural? Who defined the canon of Scripture? Most importantly,
is the Bible the Word of God? You and I are gambling our eternity on
the answer to that last question. Why do we believe God is the author of
the Bible, and can each one of us defend that belief? Dark times are on
the horizon, and it is increasingly important that we learn to live by faith.
Where we place our faith fully depends on how we view the Scriptures.
Over the past 50 years, I have been privileged to travel around the
world and talk to people about the Word of God and the saving power
of Jesus Christ. Of course, I always get a lot of questions about the Bible.
People ask me: “Chuck, how do I know the Bible is the Word of God?”
“How do I know the Bible is true and accurate?” “How did we even
get the Bible we have today?” “Which version of the Bible is the best?”
The purpose of our briefing pack How We Got Our Bible, now available
in book format, is to deal with these
questions and to assure its readers
that the Bible is reliable, accurate,
and applicable to the world today.
Through it’s pages, we will explore
some lesser-known facts about the
Bible and take common knowledge
about its pages to a deeper level.
We will defend the authenticity of
the Bible as the Word of God so that
you, dear reader, might equip others
to do the same. The Word of God is
a miracle the Lord has given to us
so that we may know Him better
and live our lives according to Truth.

The Nature of Reality
Within recent years,
many members of Protestant
denominational churches
and the Roman Catholic
Church have turned away
from the Bible as the fully
inspired Word of God.
We hear arguments that
the Bible contradicts itself
or that it contradicts the
“truths” of modern culture
and science. Many people
say the Bible contains the
Word of God, but cannot
be relied on to be the Word
of God in all its entirety.
This is a key issue. Is the
Bible really true?
Two World Views
Ultimately, there are two basic world views we can hold. One
view regards everything we experience as the result of some cosmic
accident. “In the Beginning there was nothing, and then it exploded.”
The other view is that everything we experience is the deliberate result
of a Creator. Of course, there are numerous variations on each of these
views, but each of us must decide where we will place our trust. Each of
these world views holds possible solutions to the biggest puzzles of life:
• Who am I?
• Where did I come from?
• Where am I going?
• To whom am I accountable?
It is ultimately important that we find the true answers to
these questions.

Rejection of Authority
You and I live in a time of rebellion and self-worship. Parental and
marital authority are challenged in the homes and courts. Political,
academic and ecclesiastical authority are challenged across the land.
Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which
the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath
God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Genesis 3:1
Here, near the very beginning, we are introduced to Satan, the serpent,
our adversary, and the first thing we see him do is question God’s Word.
“Yea, hath God said?”
His next step is to slander God’s character with straight denial.
“Ye shall not surely die,” (Gen 3:4). Thus, Satan encouraged the rejection
of God’s authority at the very beginning, while humanity was yet in its
infancy. Eve failed to trust God, Adam followed her in directly disobeying
what God had told him, and humankind lost everything as a result.
We find the same pattern today. A number of social indicators
deteriorate rapidly after 1963 in the United States. There were fewer than
10 births per 1000 unmarried teen women (ages 15-19) prior to 1947,
and between 1955 and 1964, the number remained steadily between 15
and 16.1 After 1964, however, the numbers of teenagers giving birth out
of wedlock climbed steadily during the next 30 years to more than 46
births per 1000 teen women in 1994.2 Divorce rates escalated, families
broke up, crime rates rose, and the acceptance of homosexuality became
commonplace. As of 2015, more than 58 million unborn children
have been murdered in the United States because they were considered
inconvenient. Fifty-eight million. That is nearly ten times the number
of Jewish victims in the Holocaust.
It’s noteworthy that in 1963, as a result of the combined court cases
Abington School District v. Schempp and Murray v. Curlett, the U.S.
Supreme Court banned school-led reading of the Bible and recital of
the Lord’s Prayer. These court cases alleged to uphold the principles of

freedom and human dignity, yet the end result of turning our backs on
God has been destruction and misery. As we choose our own way over
God’s way, we’re losing everything. There is little dignity in divorce or
high crime rates.
It is ironic that the elements we most desire in life are rarely attained
through our own weak wisdom and fleshly desires. After trying our own
methods, over and over again we have had to learn that we experience
human dignity and true freedom only through moral obedience and
accountability to the Creator who fashioned human beings for a high
spiritual destiny.
Facing the Skeptics
Skeptics have brutally attacked the Bible throughout history, and
during the past century it has become popular among intellectuals to
regard the Bible as merely a conglomeration of Jewish writings. It’s
considered respectable to dispute the authorship of the books of the
Bible and to disregard fulfilled prophecy as events reported after-the-fact.

In 1898, Hermann Schultz, professor of Theology at the University
of Gottingen, declared:
Of the legendary character of the pre-Mosaic narrators, the time
of which they treat is a sufficient proof. It was a time prior to all
knowledge of writing, a time separated by an interval of more than
four hundred years, of which there is absolutely no history.3
Yet, the patriarchal accounts in the Bible have been corroborated
by archeological evidence.4 The information we have of Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob matches the culture we know of that time in history.5 Job,
the contemporary of Abraham, had the ability to write.6 Sumerian
cuneiform writing certainly predates Moses by much more than 400
years; Ira Spar at the Metropolitan Museum of Art notes that, “By the
middle of the third millennium B.C., cuneiform primarily written on
clay tablets was used for a vast array of economic, religious, political,
literary, and scholarly documents.”7 The old criticism that no written
language existed in Moses’ day has been proven to be false.8 The theories
that the Gospels and the Epistles were written in the second century,
over a hundred years after the fact, have been shredded and refuted by
archeological discoveries, documentary discoveries and competent analysis.9
The common skeptical assertions
thrown about in “academic” circles can The old criticism that

As we read the Bible, we find there are a number of highly significant
verses found at the address “3:16.”
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

God dwelleth in you?
1 Corinthians 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2 Timothy 3:16

2 Timothy 3:16 is one of these significant “3:16” verses – a little
fact that makes it easy to remember its address. This particular verse
gives us a foundational message, and we should read it carefully and
take it to heart:
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God…” Note this verse says,
“All Scripture” – not just certain passages that we might select because
we like them best. If we accept only those parts of the Bible that suit us
and reject the others, then we are believing in ourselves and our own
(unreliable) judgment rather than in the Scripture.
The word “inspiration” in the Greek, θεόπνευστος - theopneustos means “God-breathed.” That is, the Scriptures were not just influenced
by good ideas about God; they were actually infused into human beings
by the Spirit of God, who breathed into the hearts and minds of the
Bible’s authors.
All Scripture “is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction.”
Doctrine is about teaching correct understanding while reproof is
involved in addressing wrong conduct and correction deals with wrong
understanding. As we study the epistles of Paul, for example, we discover
that while Romans is a doctrinal statement of Soteriology (the study
of salvation), 1 Corinthians was sent to reprove wrong conduct and
Galatians to correct wrong doctrine. Again, Ephesians presents the
doctrine of Ecclesiology (the study of this mystical thing we call the
“Church”), while Philippians then presents the reproof and Colossians
presents the correction for the Church. 1 and 2 Thessalonians present
the doctrine of Eschatology (the study of the last things), and 1 and
2 Peter and Revelation continue that theme.
The more we study the Bible, the more we discover that it’s very well
organized specifically for its purposes.
This excerpt is from Dr. Chuck Missler’s book How We Got Our Bible, available
in print and eBook from https://resources.khouse.org. Also available in Kindle
format from Amazon. May God bless each one of us as we absorb this material
and press onward to live it out every day.

Behold a White Horse: The Coming World Leader
The final world dictator seeking global domination will also be an
“Assyrian,” who is here characterized by a bow and riding a white horse.
It is interesting how many confuse this counterfeit with the rider of the
white horse in Revelation 19.
Behold a White Horse explores the career of the first of these “Four Horsemen” who seems to
have at least 33 titles in the Old Testament and 13 in the New Testament and the common
term “AntiChrist” really isn’t one of them. We also explore the only physical description of him
in the Scripture!
Behold a Red Horse: Wars and Rumors of Wars
Dr. Chuck Missler, an honor graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, with an
international background including three decade’s experience in the board rooms of the defense
industry, reviews the major Biblical references to warfare, the trends in modern weapons
technology, and some of the current preparations for war among the major powers.
Behold a Black Horse: Economic Upheaval and Famine
Most famines are the direct results of government’s deliberate decisions. Germany sank into
the most severe hyperinflationary period in recorded history after printing 1.3 trillion marks:
that translates to about 4 trillion in today’s dollars. Ironically, that is almost exactly the same
amount of money the United States government has printed since 2008.
Behold a Livid Horse: Emergent Diseases and Biochemical Warfare
Why are previously conquered diseases now making a comeback? How real is the threat of
biological terrorism? Why is it more dangerous than chemical terrorism? Was the AIDS virus
deliberately designed? By whom? And why? Is there any truth behind an agenda to control
(and reduce) the world’s population? By whom? And why? Who are the two riders associated
with the Livid Horse? How do they differ?

RADICAL RESURRECTION
i Everyone! This year, on March 27th, Christians all over the world will
be celebrating Resurrection Sunday, the day our Lord and Savior
after being crucified on the cross was dead in the grave for three
days and nights and miraculously came back to life!
Believing in the resurrection of Christ is essential to the Christian
faith. The Apostle Paul says it best in 1 Corinthians 15:14-15, “If Christ
has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in
vain. We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified
about God that he raised Christ…”
The same power that resurrected Jesus is the same power given
to every believer by the Holy Spirit at his new birth—it is part of the
Life of God that He has instilled and sealed in our hearts. That I may
know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His
sufferings, being made conformable unto His death” (Philippians 3:10).
So as Christians, how does believing and understanding Christ’s
resurrection power affect our daily life? How is His resurrection power
significant in our marriages, our families, our jobs? How does it affect
our busy and crazy lifestyles?
Understanding this supernatural power which resides in every
Christian is explained in detail in “The Kingdom, Power and Glory”
teaching series.
Beloved, the power of the resurrection is that Jesus is alive—
HE breathes into us His new Spirit, empowering us as His witnesses.
This year, let’s make 2016 a year where we are
participating, partaking and sharing God’s
resurrection power with our fellow believers and
those who haven’t come to the saving knowledge
of Jesus Christ.
En Agape,

Clearly, the idea of the Rapture can be considered
the most preposterous belief in Biblical Christianity.
The situation regarding the doctrine of the Rapture is
painfully similar to the famous quote by Dr. Richard
Feynman, speaking of quantum physics:
I think it is safe to say that no one understands quantum
mechanics... in fact, it is often stated of all the theories
proposed in this century, the silliest is quantum theory.
Some say that the only thing that quantum theory has
going for it, in fact, is that it is unquestionably correct.

END-TIMES
SURVIVAL GUIDE
n the February edition of Personal Update News Journal I pointed out that
Jesus warned in His Olivet Discourse saying, “Then many false prophets
will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the
love of many will grow cold.1 In both his letter to Timothy and the
Thessalonians the apostle Paul warns them
“in latter times
that “in latter times some will depart from the
some will depart
faith,” 2 and “that Day will not come unless the
from the faith,”
falling away comes first.” 3 In both references
Paul is writing about apostasy.
BIO
The Antidote for Apostasy
I listed four simple steps to survive in this age of
deceit you need to:
1) Stay Connected
2) Stay Sharp
3) Stay on Target
4) Stay in God’s Word
I think it is safe to say that most people who
would call themselves Christians would consider some
sort of Bible study an essential element of their life.
To that end I wish to address two basic questions
about Bible study:
1) Why study the Bible?
2) How should we study the Bible?

Why Study the Bible?
1. We learn how to please God.
Psalm 119:9-16 tells us, “How can a young man cleanse his way?
By taking heed according to Your word. With my whole heart I
have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!
Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin
against You. Blessed are You, O LORD! Teach me Your statutes.
With my lips I have declared all the judgments of Your mouth.
I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, as much as in all
riches. I will meditate on Your precepts, and contemplate Your
ways. I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget
Your word.”
Notice the full package of God’s instructions:
• Statutes
= God’s Commandment
• Judgments
= God’s Rewards
• Testimonies
= Biblical Examples
• Precepts
= Doctrines
• Ways
= Direction
• Statutes (Will) = Protection
• Word
= Instruction
2. We learn about Jesus
From cover to cover, the Bible ultimately teaches
us about Jesus Christ. Quoting from Psalm 40:7 the
writer to the Hebrews says, “Then I said, ‘Behold, I
have come - In the volume of the book it is written of
Me - To do Your will, O God.’” 4 Jesus said, “Search the
scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and
they are they which testify of me.” 5
4 Hebrews 10:7

3. We learn how to combat deception
The apostle Paul warn Timothy, “I charge you therefore before
God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and
the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word!
Be ready in season and out
For the time will come
of season. Convince, rebuke,
when they will not
exhort, with all longsuffering
endure sound doctrine,
and teaching. For the time
will come when they will
but according to their
not endure sound doctrine,
own desires, because
but according to their own they have itching ears...
desires, because they have
itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will
turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.”6
How Should We Study the Bible?
There are many different methods being practised and many different
models to follow. The apostle Paul gave us an example of his style of
teaching. There are three major forms of Bible teaching:
1. Teaching FROM the Bible
This is the most common form of Bible study found in the
church today. It is generally topical or thematic. This is also
the basis of Systematic Theology. Here the Bible is used as a
resource library to find references that present a particular point
of view. They start with a statement (or topic) and search the
Scriptures to back up their presupposed position. The danger
here is that you can specialize on only those subjects you wish
to hear about and miss the whole counsel of God.
2. Teaching ABOUT the Bible
Generally these are historic surveys where the Bible is treated
like any other book in the world. During these types of Bible
studies they examine the “stories” of the Bible without teaching
6 2 Timothy 4:1-4
VOLUME 26 | ISSUE 3 |
31
COVER
CONTENTS ORDER
Personal UPDATE | MARCH 2016
the “truths” of the Bible. The danger here is you no longer see
the Bible as anything other than a cherished religious book
which is comparable to many other religious writings.
3. Teaching THE Bible
This is a holistic approach to understanding the Bible. After
Israel returned from their captivity in Babylon, Israel’s revival
under Ezra began by reading the whole Word of God.7
Before the Ephesian elders Paul states, “…You know, from the
first day that I came to Asia, in what manner I always lived among
you, serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears and trials
which happened to me by the plotting of the Jews; how I kept back
nothing that was helpful, but proclaimed it to you, and taught you
publicly and from house to house, testifying to Jews, and also to
Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus
Christ. Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of
the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare to you the
whole counsel of God.”8
Today we would understand that to mean verse-by-verse,
chapter-by-chapter, book-by-book study of the entire Bible.
Isaiah’s Indictment of Israel gives us a strong clue as to the
best way to gain real spiritual insight. “Whom will He teach
knowledge? And whom will He make to understand the message?
Those just weaned from milk? For precept must be upon precept,
precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little,
there a little.” 9
The advantages to this type of Bible study are many:
• It is the only logical way to read a letter or book.
• It keeps the Text within its Context. Remember, “A Text
without a Context is a Pretext.”
7 Nehemiah 8:1-7
8 Acts 20:18-27
9 Isaiah 28:9, 10
32
| VOLUME 26 | ISSUE 3
COVER CONTENTS ORDER
MARCH 2016 | Personal UPDATE
• It demands Exegesis (reading FROM the Word) rather
than Eisegesis (reading INTO the Word). In other words,
you let the text within its context speak for itself.
• It prevents “Hobby Horse” type Bible study. This is a real
problem with false teachers that twist the Scriptures to
achieve their own goals.
• It forces the Bible student to examine ALL of the doctrines
in Scripture.
• It gives a balanced view of God’s Word.
May you be truly fruitful in your study of God’s Word.
