Few questions shape our confidence in the Bible more than this one: Has God actually preserved His words for us today? Most Christians readily affirm that Scripture was inspired in the beginning—but far fewer have considered what it means for God to preserve His word through history. In this episode, we explore the doctrine of preservation by looking at the Bible’s own testimony about its endurance, the process by which Scripture was written, copied, and transmitted through generations, and why this issue ultimately forces every believer to make a decision about the authority of the Bible they hold in their hands. If God promised to preserve His words, where can they be found—and what does that mean for the church?

 
Pastor Troy Stogsdill of First Baptist Church of New Philadelphia recently completed a thoughtful and challenging sermon series titled The Promise of Preservation.  Today he and I will explore the central ideas of the series and why it remains a vital issue for the certainty and authority of the word of God today.

In this episode of the Ps+ we look at what the Bible says about God preserving his Word, as well as discuss a faith-based view of scripture.

In this episode, we begin a three-part series on why the King James is God’s preserved word. Dr. Alan Shelby, Dean of Living Faith Bible Institute, discusses with us the doctrine of inspiration and preservation in order to better understand God’s character and purposes as it concerns scripture. In part 1 of our series, we address when inspiration occurred, why scripture goes beyond the original autographs, the problems with textual criticism, why we can trust God oversaw the process of transcription and translation, and much more.
