The Klang Valley Bible Conference 2005
Speaker: Michael Raiter
Time: 8.15 pm
Date: 6-9 Sept
Venue: Tropicana, clubhouse
Topic: The People of the Way (exposition on Luke)
"The christian life is a journey following Jesus... By looking at people Jesus met on his travels we will learn important lessons about the ESSENTIAL FEATURES of being people of the Way"
Why is Preaching So Important in Corporate Worship?
John Piper: "... there are always two parts to true worship - there is seeing God and there is savoring God. You can't separate these. You must see him to savor him. And if you don't savor him when you see him, you insult him.
Or another pair would be this: in worship there is always understanding with the mind and there is always feeling in the heart. Understanding must always be the foundation of feeling, or all we have is baseless emotionalism. But understanding of God that doesn't give rise to feeling for God becomes mere intellectualism and deadness.
This is why the Bible continually calls us to think and consider and meditate and remember on the one hand, and to rejoice and fear and mourn and delight and hope and be glad on the other hand. Both are essential for worship."

Q: How can I reconcile my belief in the inerrancy of Scripture with comments in Bible translations that state that a particular verse is not 'in better manuscripts'?
