All of us desperately need to learn to fail forward.  The idea of failing forward is that through our personal weaknesses, shortcomings and failures that God teaches us about our need for Him, that He is sufficient in all things and that He uses our weakness to grow us.   

The idea behind inerrancy is simply that the word of God is without error.  It is reliable and has authority to guide us in all areas of life.  And so we have God's revelation to man, which is a collection of 66 books written by 40 authors over 1500 years through the direction of God's Spirit, And as many can attest throughout the ages, when a church and man gives himself over to the leading and authority of God's word, wisdom, peace and joy follow.  

What does sincere authentic love for Jesus look like?  This is an important question to see if our claim to love God is real or not.  The woman in Mark 14, who is Mary the sister of Martha and Lazarus,  is a great example in the Bible of someone who loved Jesus and demonstrated it through an outrageous act of great generosity, even though it didn’t make much sense to those around her.
