Read the Bible in a Year This evening read Matthew 22:23--46 The Roots of Most Doctrinal Mistakes The Sadducees do not believe in the resurrection, and without realizing it, the roots of their unbelief are two problems. Here is what Jesus says, 29 Jesus answered and said to them, You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God (Mat. 22:29). He then goes on to explain that the Old Testament Scriptures teach the resurrection and that God has the power to raise people from the dead. If you examine carefully most doctrinal mistakes that people believe or teach, you will discover the same roots for most of them. Therefore, let us pursue zealously the knowledge of the Scriptures, so that we are not mistaken and that we shall be able to teach others. It is for this reason that in 1990 I started publishing a monthly journal called The Bible Meditator. I was amazed by the numbers of people with relationship problems, and other problems of living, and the numbers of people who believe things contrary to the Scriptures, so that I thought to myself that putting out a monthly paper that is designed to help people read and meditate on the Scriptures would be a good thing. Pulpit Press, a little publishing venture that I started, used to print the paper, now it is a joint work of the Nile Street Church of Christ in Klamath Falls, Oregon and the Savage Street Church of Christ in Grants Pass, Oregon. Subscriptions to the hard copy are $8 annually (Send checks to: The Bible Meditator, 2521 Nile Street, Klamath Falls, Oregon 97603-6913) and the computer version is free (Send a request to: SSteinless@... with PDF of TBM in the subject line).
