GOD’S WORD CITES OUTSIDE SOURCES
Central Truth: Elements of truth from outside sources are found in the Bible to undergird Scripture and assist in engaging culture. Focus: Acknowledge and appreciate the fact that extra-Biblical sources lend support to Scriptural truth. Evangelism Emphasis: Christians can use extra-Biblical sources to engage in dialogue with the world to proclaim the Gospel.
Golden Text: “For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring” (Acts 17:28).
