The Sufficiency of Scripture
by Stephen Janho
The doctrine of the sufficiency of Scripture isn’t just under attack in our churches, campus lecture halls, conferences, or in the workplace. It is also under attack every day in our hearts when we fail to take God at His word, when we turn to other things, or when we trust in man-centered reasoning instead of seeking to find our refuge and strength in His all-sufficient Word. Scripture speaks of being enough (capacity) and having the means to accomplish that which God has intended it to accomplish. First, it is intended to be the means through which we can be saved (Romans 10:17),

Finish Life Well
When we consider life in its entirety, how do we want to be when we end up in eternity? How do we desire to finish life on earth and be remembered? What is the ultimate goal in life? We know that it is not wrapped up in the things of this world. Our ultimate goal is to follow the leading of our great God and what He specifically has planned and created us to do to bring Him glory. Paul wrote in Philippians 3:13–14…

Fully Loaded
The term “fully loaded” gets used by people and the marketplace to express the sufficiency or total capacity of some resourceful product or service. Sometimes you hear someone say something like this: “I just got the latest upgrade on my phone and it has every bell and whistle you can imagine. It’s fully loaded.”
Yet as we know so well, today’s “fully loaded” product or service is tomorrow’s dinosaur. There’s always a new and improved feature or accessory unveiled in the next update. So “fully loaded” doesn’t really mean “fully loaded” when there will be another enhancement.

Moments
It was a feeling I have not had in a long time. I’ve had moments like this before, but there was something different about it this time.
How did this happen so fast? Why is this moisture welling up in my eyes? I turned to look at Kim and sure enough, the tears were streaming.
You see, we were watching our last child, our little baby girl, Annabelle, as we’ve affectionally called her over the years, proudly walking across a makeshift concert stage in the end zone of Mount Tahoma High School football field. She was receiving her high school diploma from Stadium High School.
![Trust God](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a619842262382a48164e99/9af155d3-c47e-4c37-b3e2-b37a8a4048ec/thomas-fuhrer-Geg7mfhF55g-unsplash%2B%281%29.jpg)
Trust God
The African Impala can jump to a height of over 10 feet and cover a distance of greater than 30 feet. Yet these magnificent creatures can be kept in an enclosure in any zoo with a 3-foot wall. The animals will not jump if they cannot see where their feet will fall.
Faith is simply believing whatever God says is true. It’s the ability to trust God in spite of what we cannot see (Hebrews 11:1). Faith frees us from the flimsy enclosures of life that fear allows us to be entrapped by.

Remember
The research into our brain’s storage capacity is absolutely remarkable.
It has been discovered that your mental storage capacity is somewhere around 2.5 petabytes. Say what??? Well, maybe this will help: 2.5 petabytes is a million gigabytes, or enough to hold 300 years of nonstop television shows, or listening to one billion minutes of music in an MP3 format (that’s 16,666,666.6667 hours, or 69,4444.444444 days, or 22,831.025208 months or 1,902.58751903 years). Can we all agree this is a large storage capacity?
