Everything recorded in the Bible is truthfully reported, but not every statement spoken by people in Scripture should be accepted as doctrine. The book of Job demonstrates this principle. Job and his friends made many sincere statements about God, yet God later rebuked their words as lacking understanding. By comparing Job's statements with the broader teaching of Scripture, we discover that Satan is the one who steals, kills, and destroys, while God is the giver of life, healing, mercy, and restoration. Job serves as an example of why biblical doctrine must be established from the whole counsel of Scripture rather than from isolated verses.

In this excerpt from office hours, Pastor Amos suggests that entrepreneurs should go "straight at" their main vision rather than getting bogged down in smaller, secondary projects that require just as much energy as their primary business.

Biblical truth is found by studying all of Scripture rather than building doctrine from a few isolated verses. At times, certain passages may seem to support an idea when read alone, but a broader study often reveals a different conclusion. The Bible's teaching on slavery illustrates this principle. While some passages instruct slaves on how to live within their circumstances, other passages reveal God's condemnation of man stealing, His desire for freedom, and His view of believers as brothers and sisters in Christ. By examining the full counsel of Scripture, we can better understand God's heart and avoid drawing conclusions based on only a portion of His Word.
