Unpopular Never Means Irrelevant
The relevancy of scripture
I have a message for you from the Bible.
Yes, the Bible-the book many believe to be out of date and out of touch.
Some people call the Bible — old. Well, gravity is also old. Is gravity still relevant? I think so.
The scripture is far from out of touch
Just because the scripture is unpopular does not mean it’s irrelevant.
So here’s the message.
“Dear brothers and sisters, I close my letter with these last words: Be joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you.” (2 Corinthians 13:11, NLT)
If a counselor said, “Be joyful and encourage others, we would count that as wise.”
If your teacher said, “Grow up and live in peace with everyone, we would say that’s smart.”
But when we quote a Bible verse, the validity is questioned.
It is rather silly to question the content of this verse. The verse is on-point and clearly relevant.
Let’s break it down.
