A Balanced View of the Bible

Shun one-sided, one-phased views of the Bible. They almost invariably lead to fanaticism or disappointment and discouragement, or to an unbalanced character. We have examples of this in the "speaking with tongues" movement, and various faith healing cults. Both speaking with tongues and faith healing may be parts of a Bible experience; but the Book makes neither nor both prominent. God wants well-balanced men and women of well-balanced faith in the Mighty One. And His whole truth, if received, will develop just such characters as that. Gather all God's truth; balance its various parts by the equity of His complete Word.
