Review: Logos Week 1

The Pentecostals of Alexandria in Alexandria, Louisiana are going through a special Bible Study series called Logos.  Each week, Pastor Anthony Mangun and Larry Clark will go through a lesson from Search for Truth  Find out what happens each week here on The Way.
Lesson 1: The Word is Infallible

Pastor and Brother Larry Clark did a phenomenal job leading the two ladies they were teaching through the first lesson.  More importantly, though, they welcomed us all in as if we were participants as well.  Even though they addressed the ladies mostly, at no point in the night did I feel as if they were ignoring or excluding the audience.  If you missed it, we have a link available, but do your best to catch these studies live.  The feeling of inclusion in the moment is worth it.

As for the topic they addressed, I've never seen a study on such a simple subject come across in such a profound way.  Purposing to show the Bible is infallible, both Pastor and Brother Larry not only had us believing in the Bibles infallibility, they had us rooting for the Word of God.  They showed how, throughout history, people have ignored, dismissed and attempted to destroy God's Word.  However, through it all, The Word has stayed strong and alive.  It can't be ignored because it proves itself poignant.  It can't be dismissed because it proves itself true.  It can't be destroyed because it is the living breathing voice of God Almighty.   Nothing can defeat it or destroy it. 

Another point they proved was the importance of the Word today.  With all of the terror and immorality present in every society today, we must return to the Word for our answers.  With the days of the Antichrist not far off, now is the time to return to God and His Truth.  If we don't we'll believe the lies of the world today and the lies of the Antichrist later.  Though this point appears somber, it came across as convicting and uplifting because the answer to the problems we face are in that book.  We just have to open it up and start reading. 

Bonus Thoughts:

  1. Brother Larry made sure to point out that we can't take one scripture out of context.  If we get caught up or confused on one scripture, we should continue reading and researching the Bible on the subject until it becomes clear
  2. Brother Larry state the answer to all of life's questions and problems, from temporal to spiritual, are found in the Bible.  If you have a financial, family, faith or any other form of situation you are facing, the answer is in the Bible.
  3. Both Pastor and Brother Larry were adamant about not putting your faith in the ways of man.  This is not to say that people don't have things to offer, but even the greatest scholars must be regulated beneath what God and His Word say.  Sounds familiar to and early devotion from another series we just finished
  4. Despite all the translations of the Bible, God is big enough to ensure that what He created and breathed out would not be perverted or destroyed by man. 

We hope you enjoyed this week's review of LOGOS.  If you missed watching the lesson, you can watch it here.  There's also a handout you can download here as soon as it is uploaded. Share your thoughts below.  We look forward to hearing from you and further sharing our thoughts on LOGOS.
