Thought for December 25

[Thompson, Darryl]

   Disguise it as they may, the real cause of doubt and skepticism, in
most cases, is the love of sin. The teachings and restrictions of God's
word are not welcome to the proud, sin-loving heart, and those who are
unwilling to obey its requirements are ready to doubt its authority. In
order to arrive at truth, we must have a sincere desire to know the
truth and a willingness of heart to obey it. And all who come in this
spirit to the study of the Bible will find abundant evidence that it is
God's word, and they may gain an understanding of its truths that will
make them wise unto salvation. Steps to Christ, p. 111
