Perspicuity of Scripture

Simply put, "Perspicuity of Scripture" means that our Creator has given us His Word Written to be understandable by His people. Of course this does not mean that there is no study involved, and it does mean that we are helped in our understanding by the work of the Holy Spirit. We, therefore, especially as fathers, to teach the truths of Scripture to our children and children's children. We and our children are being guided by the few whose mouths cry loud, teaching the lie of evolution, the lies of diversity, banning the Bible and the use of the word 'God' from the public place, denying the foundation of an objective and righteous Law which has made our nation great, etc. We must be, therefore, diligent in our teaching and in our example of moral growth and strength. Which begins in the home.
Let us pray for one another as the Lord writes His covenant Word upon our lives: "And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart. And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt b ind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates" [Deut. 6:6-9].
Our moral strength in our nation begins in the home. May our Lord be glorified as He writes His Word upon our hearts, to be expressed in our worship and service.
