There are many Christian people today, it seems to me, who claim to be believers in the inspiration of the Scripture but who nevertheless quite deliberately avoid large portions of Scripture because they are difficult. But if you believe that the whole of Scripture is the Word of God, such an attitude is sinful; it is our business to face the Scriptures. One advantage in preaching through a book of the Bible, as we are proposing to do, is that it compels us to face every single statement, come what may, and stand before it, and look at it, and allow it to speak to us.
