The article discusses a recent study by Lifeway Research on American churchgoers, revealing that while 84% feel confident in defending the truth of Scripture, a considerable number also believe that some biblical truths can become obsolete. Specifically, 28% agree that “as culture changes, some biblical truths become obsolete,” while 34% accept only some truths from the Bible.
This indicates a disconnect where many churchgoers hold a confident stance on defending Scripture, yet simultaneously question its relevance in light of changing cultural perspectives. The author expresses concern over this trend, suggesting that it may reflect a lower view of Scripture among some believers.
The article emphasizes that God’s Word is not a “spiritual buffet” where one can pick and choose beliefs. Instead, it stresses the eternal truth of the Bible, highlighting its teachings as relevant and applicable across all eras and cultures. The author encourages a return to recognizing Scripture’s authority and warns against the dangers of human pride in interpreting its meaning.
