The importance of understanding scripture. Featuring Carrie Erikson
One of Women of Faith’s three pillars of values is SPIRITUAL STRENGTH. And one component of Spiritual Strength is knowing the Word, understanding the Word, and living by the Word.
In my episode with Carrie Erikson on the Women of Faith Show with Alita Reynolds, she shares her heart on the importance of understanding scripture.
She says, “There is a huge deficit of our culture today. People don’t know the Word or misinterpret the Word. I am kind of a nerd about words. I love finding the root of words and really understanding the context of scripture. If people are equipped and empowered to read the Word and they know what is actually in the Bible, then in the last days, we won’t be deceived. That is what the Bible says. Watch against false teachings. (2 Timothy 4:3-4)
I want people to know the Word of God. That’s why we have encouraged our church to read through the Bible this year.
We always say, ‘Don’t take our word for it! Go look it up, find it for yourselves, ask questions. People may have been hurt by the church, the misunderstanding of scripture or bad teachings.’”
When we know the Word and how to apply it in our lives, we won’t be deceived.
