The Clarity of Scripture: Understanding God’s Word
Show: Anchored in the Word with Dave Jenkins Date: October 2, 2025
Show Summary
Many people believe the Bible is too difficult or too ancient for ordinary Christians. Yet the doctrine of the
clarity of Scripture reminds us that God gave His Word to reveal truth, so His people might know Him,
trust Him, and obey Him. In this episode, Dave Jenkins teaches from Psalm 19:7–8 and
2 Timothy 3:16–17 to show that Scripture revives the soul, makes wise the simple, and equips believers
for every good work. We also consider what clarity does not mean, and how the Holy Spirit helps us read,
understand, and apply God’s Word with confidence.
