Gods Love For Sinners – Sermon – February 12 2012

If the Holy Spirit inspired the Saints/Authors of the Bible to write the scriptures, why did God see fit ro record so carefully for us in the scriptures the many sins of the saints, even the all-star famous saints of the Bible?   If mere men wrote the Bible, and tried to put forth a religion of their own making, they’d have wanted to share only the good points and highlights of their heroes, right?  How does God seek to grow our faith and encourage us by this sharing of the Sins of the Great Saints of the Bible?
