I was channel surfing today and caught a sermon on the radio by James McDonald. He tends to have some pretty good things to say usually, so I listened to his whole message.
Anyway, he mentioned something off the top of his head that I had never considered. I could tell by the way he addressed the topic that it's something he had spoken about in more detail to his congregation before. But it was something I had never considered. I'm not sure whether I agree or disagree, so I thought I'd run it by you guys.
In his sermon, he was teaching a biblical principle, and used several scriptures to support his teaching. When he got to a scripture verse from Proverbs, he made a statement that caught my ear. Here's what he said (about the Book of Proverbs), in a nutshell.
Although the scripture from Proverbs supported the biblical principle he was teaching, he gave a disclaimer. Basically he said that Proverbs were not promises from God. Rather they're words of wisdom that portray how things will typically work out if you do thus and so. (paraphrase).
What are your thoughts?
