Once again, I am sharing a sermon on Psalm 119 today. This one is from Steve Lawson and is an introductory sermon to the Psalm. He has many others as he walks through this chapter, and I will likely be sharing more of them as I work through them. It is audio only.

I wanted to share a quote that he shares from John MacArthur regarding the sufficiency of Scripture. It is from MacArthur’s book entitled, Sola Scriptura: The Protestant Position on the Bible
“Sola Scriptura simply means that all truth necessary for our salvation and spiritual life is taught either explicitly or implicitly in Scripture. It is not a claim that all truth of every kind is found in Scripture. The most ardent defender of Sola Scriptura will concede, for example, that Scripture has little or nothing to say about DNA structures, microbiology, the rules of Chinese grammar, or rocket science. There are many important questions on which Scripture is silent. Sola Scriptura makes no claim to the contrary, nor does Sola Scriptura claim that everything Jesus or the apostles taught is preserved in Scripture. It only means that everything necessary, everything binding on our consciences, and everything God requires of us is given in Scripture. Furthermore, we are forbidden to add to or take away from Scripture. To do so is to lay upon people’s shoulders a burden God himself does not intend for them to bear. Scripture is therefore the perfect and only standard of spiritual truth revealing infallibly all that we must believe in order to be saved and all that we must do in order to glorify God. That – no more, no less – is what Sola Scriptura means.”
John MacArthur, Sola Scriptura: The Protestant Position on the Bible
Be blessed.
Sola Deo Gloria!
