| 0:00.0 | Does the Bible really address my problems on this edition of Truth and Love? |
| 0:12.2 | I'm Heath Lambert and you're listening to Truth and Love, a podcast of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors, where we seek to provide biblical solutions for the problems that people face. |
| 0:23.6 | Does the Bible really address my problem is one kind of way to get at the topic of the podcast this week. |
| 0:32.1 | Another way to address that issue is by using the theological language of the sufficiency of scripture. |
| 0:38.6 | Are the scriptures sufficient to address the problems that we face in a fallen human world? |
| 0:45.0 | This is an important question that actually we want to address at our ACBC annual conference this |
| 0:52.8 | year on October 3rd, 4th, and 5th. |
| 0:55.2 | We are inviting everybody to our 40th anniversary celebration where we want to re-examine the key theological themes that have been the undergirding of ACBC for 40 years. |
| 1:08.2 | And one of the most important issues that we can address theologically |
| 1:11.4 | concerns whether the Bible really is about the problems that we're facing. And so we're |

| 1:37.1 | And with this, does the Bible stand alone, or is there something else I need to know to help me? |
| 1:41.9 | What this really gets down to is what the purpose of the |
| 1:46.6 | Bible is. What is the function of the Bible? In terms of texts, there are a million texts of |
| 1:56.4 | scripture that we could go to to try to piece together an answer to the question, what is the Bible about? |
| 2:03.7 | What's the principal purpose of the Bible? |
| 2:06.5 | But I want to say that when you boil it all down, when you read the Bible from cover to cover, |
| 2:14.2 | you are left with this strong impression that God gave us the Bible because |
| 2:20.1 | he wants to help us with our problems. If the Bible is not about God helping us with our problems, |
| 2:30.3 | then I don't know what the Bible's about. I have no idea what the Bible's about if it's not |
