BIBLE Interpretation

When Martin Luther was asked to recant the writings that had sparked the Reformation, he gave a bold response:
“Unless I am convinced by Scripture and plain reason—I do not accept the authority of the popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other—my conscience is captive to the Word of God.”
In short, he said: “Unless you convince me by the Word of God and reason, I will not recant.”
This shows that Luther accepted even the authority of reason under the authority of Scripture. His stance on faith and interpretation can be supported by evidence.
Whether it is appropriate to use sources outside the Bible for interpretation is another matter. In this context, we also refer to John Wesley as a witness. His approach to teaching and interpretation is known as the Wesleyan Quadrilateral.
For Wesley, the sources of doctrine and interpretation are fourfold:
First – Scripture,
Second – Tradition,
Third – Reason,
And lastly – Experience.
In this light, it is proper for a Christian to accept these components as sources for biblical interpretation and faith formation. (In this matter, it’s worth noting that Wesley always centered his interpretations around the Bible and referred to himself as “a man of one book.”)
The other important source is reason. Being created in the image of God, our rational nature is one way God's character is revealed in us. Because of that, we cannot live our lives apart from reason.
However, even though reason is given by God, it is limited by physical evidence and emotions. Relying solely on intellect can lead us astray. Still, God desires us to use our minds. He created us to think and examine matters. He created our minds for that purpose and has also renewed and transformed them.

"Gash, what is a human being?"
"It is a divine text."
"What kind of text?"
"Unfinished Text"
"When did writing begin?"
"Fifty years ago today"
"How old are you?"
“Fifty!”

🚢🌊 1588: The Armada That Tried to Conquer England — and Failed

It was the most powerful fleet the world had ever seen.
130 ships. 30,000 men.
The goal? Invade England, crush Protestantism, and restore Catholic dominance.
But the Spanish Armada didn’t just lose. It changed the course of global history.

This is Agatha Christie.

In 1926, she pulled off one of the biggest publicity stunts in literary history.

The whole of London could not stop talking about it.

Now, nearly 100 years later, she remains the world's best-selling fiction writer.

What You Won’t Do for Love
   You’ve tried everything, yet you never gave up. Because love isn’t about comfort— It’s about commitment. A silent supporter through the storms.

When you think of love, Don’t imagine it as something that exists to serve your comfort. Life doesn’t flow that way.

Love is not a bottle of water—measured and limited. It’s a river. Always moving, always giving, impossible to empty.
