Unless we teach directly from the Scriptures, using references and direct quotations with the sources noted, at least in significant proportions, and risk sounding "churchy", pretty soon we will lose our anchor. Perhaps not by the next generation, but by the third. Our paraphrases and condensed truths will simply begin to sound like good ideas without any kind of Sovereign Authority behind them. Ideas that may be chewed on, considered, and flippantly tossed aside. As it is, Scripture is already like that. God presents us with Truth, and we have the choice to engage and adopt the ideas presented within, or reject them. And of course, their is the popular pick-and-choose strategy. But may it never be the case with us, that we lay the groundwork for future generations to walk away from truth simply because we were not diligent enough to make known the Source from which we are teaching and living.
