Bible Note: Greetings Pastor Glenn Oh, I'm very aware of 2 Tim 3:16. It's one of the verses that I first point to when I'm teaching the Bible to younger people. Did you read the Rev. Spurgeon's sermon? He has a great sermon on faith, and although he has references to passages in the sermon, in the body of the sermon proper he has no actual references to specific scriptures. At the beginning of the sermon he does reference one and only one verse: John 4:48. The Rev. Spurgeon was one of the greatest preachers to ever live (IMHO), and he didn't think it was necessary to footnote every though that he spoke about. (OH, if you print that sermon, it's 25 pages long.) Your brother in Christ, Russ |
