Dr. Larkin spent his adult life studying Scripture.
It wasn’t exactly his job; it was his passion, hobby, in addition to pleasure.
He was then skilled at Biblical languages that he was asked to interpret Acts for The New Living Translation. I felt blessed to accept him every bit a seminary professor. His humility in addition to kindness were show that he non exclusively knew Scripture, he lived it.
A cocky pupil ane time interrupted physician Larkin, “What translation of the Bible are yous reading? I don’t similar it.”
“I’m reading from the Greek in addition to translating every bit I read,” physician Larkin humbly answered.
This pupil represents a growing tendency alongside Christians: Arrogant ignorance.
Many Christians, despite their lack of Bible knowledge, angrily in addition to arrogantly defend books, movies, in addition to teachings which contradict Scripture. They are ofttimes the get-go to percentage their opinions in addition to the concluding to acknowledge they're wrong. (See my archive called "Debunking Twisted Scripture.")
Arrogant ignorance is a unsafe thing.
How produce nosotros avoid it? We carefully, deliberately, in addition to regularly written report God's Word (2 Timothy 2:15).
