5. We will not be people
who turn to the wisdom of the world
and ignore the wisdom of God.

6. 1. WE DON’T UNDERSTAND ITS POWER.
5 common mistakes we make
that undervalue the Bible:

7. “But understand this, that in the last days there
will come times of difficulty. For people will be
lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant,
abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful,
unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous,
without self-control, brutal, not loving good,
treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit…

8. …lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
having the appearance of godliness, but denying
its power. Avoid such people. For among them
are those who creep into households and capture
weak women, burdened with sins and led astray
by various passions, always learning and never
able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.”
— 2 Timothy 3:1-7

11. We do not reject the Bible because it contradicts itself,

12. “For the word of God is living and active, sharper
than any two-edged sword, piercing to the
division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of
marrow, and discerning the thoughts and
intentions of the heart.”

13. 3. WE SEE IT AS A BURDEN.
5 common mistakes we make
that undervalue the Bible:

Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover
your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk
with me and work with me—watch how I do it.
Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay
anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company
with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
—Matthew 11:28 (MSG)

16. 4. WE DON’T LIKE WHAT IT HAS TO SAY.
5 common mistakes we make
that undervalue the Bible:

17. “For they are a rebellious people, lying children,
children unwilling to hear the instruction of the
LORD; who say to the seers, “Do not see,” and to the
prophets, “Do not prophesy to us what is right; speak
to us smooth things, prophesy illusions, leave the
way, turn aside from the path, let us hear no more
about the Holy One of Israel.”
