Summary
The sermon concludes a series on big questions, presenting evidence for biblical reliability through prophecy, healing, authorship, resurrection, and manuscript preservation. It then applies scripture to three final questions: whether tongues and prophecy continue today (yes, in orderly ways), the limited but real role of demons in Christian life, and the resolution of predestination and free will as a mysterious antinomy held in tension.
Highlights
Your life is a living bulletproof apologetic for the truths of the scripture.
The finite cannot comprehend the infinite. We can't fathom or reason it, but that doesn't mean that it's not so.
What role do demons play in our lives? Much. What role does God play in our lives? Infinitely more.
