The Basis For W P C

The Bible speaks to every issue of life. From a standpoint of logic, the God who has created us also knows how to fix our broken lives. He has given us His Word (the Bible) for a manual to live by. "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect (complete), throughly furnished unto all good works" (II Timothy 3:16-17). Furthermore, we should understand that all true counsel must agree with God's Word. "There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD" (Proverbs 21:30). If the counsel that one receives does not agree with God's Word, it will bring more harm than good. God's Word also has been tested and found to be true. "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shal preserve them from this generation for ever" (Psalm 12:6-7).
