2 Timothy 3:16 – Inspiration or Out-Spiration

| September 24, 2009

Breathe in, breathe out.  There…I have defined, illustrated and explained inspiration.  For some reason though, I think a further and definitely deeper explanation is needed and useful.  As words literally cannot be said without the breath of life, divine inspiration is the breath of spiritual life.  But I dare not say that such a study […]
