What Does the Scripture Say?

Remember when WWJD was all the rage? What Would Jesus Do? A fairly good question for a believer grounded in the word. But it could lend itself to risks if taken apart from the Bible. The risk being that in our relativistic, feelings oriented age, many folks may simply dream of what a “Jesus” of their imagination would do. Some might dream that “Jesus” loves all and won’t send anyone to hell. Or maybe “The Jesus I believe in doesn’t condemn anyone.” “My Jesus wants me to be happy and for me that means divorce.” The wrong thoughts could go on and on.

Some have reinterpreted it to ask “Why Would Jesus Die?”, which is great for evangelistic purposes. Others have asked the question “What DID Jesus Do?” WDJD, again a better question, especially for evangelism. I’ve attached a free e-book WDJD PDF by Ray Comfort where that question is the title (I highly recommend this book). Click here to watch an episode of “The Way of the Master” which teaches you how to witness using the WDJD acronym.

Remember when folks would have WWJD bracelets? Well about that same time Christy made me a bracelet, but with the letters WDSS. She knew that one of my favorite sayings was “What Does the Scripture Say?” What I love about this question is that it is thoroughly Biblical! The Bible actually uses those exact words (at least in the NASB) in Romans 4:3 and Galatians 4:30.

I try to ask myself that question all the time, in just about any situation. What Does the Scripture Say? about giving, loving, hell, God, family, work, ethics, etc. You see the Bible is sufficient for all of life. It is not exhaustive, but it is a sufficient rule for every area of life.

So that’s why this blog is name WDSS. May we all be led by the Holy Spirit to look into His Holy Word for the answers to life’s issues.
