4: The Role of the Bible — Singing with Inspiration
Growing in a Relationship With God has many wonderful steps in it. There are several beautiful hymns from which to choose as a theme due to all the changes that come along when we grow in our relationship with God. On page 31 we see that “the most powerful weapon is prayer” to help us through our growing times. Therefore, we will wish to sing
Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus – Hymn 290 to keep learning every minute of the day in our journey. To help with this journey, Lord,
Give Me The Bible – Hymn 272 to instruct even more with the Holy Spirit encouraging along the way:
Hover O’er Me, Holy Spirit – Hymn 260.
All of this week’s lesson study time brings us solidly to one of our theme hymns, 
Give Me The Bible – Hymn 272. Sabbath afternoon teaches us that our Creator is seeking to draw us closer to Him:
Hymn 306 – Draw Me Nearer and Hymn 310 –
I Would Draw Nearer To Jesus.
The Bible text we are asked questions on in Lamentations (Sunday), shows us Great Is Thy Faithfulness – Hymn 100.
We are encouraged on Monday to keep “trusting that God will reveal what we need to hear when we need to hear it”:
Hymn 510 – If You But Trust In God To Guide You.
Hymn 510 – If You But Trust In God To Guide You.
Thursday clearly gives us instructions on
Open My Eyes, That I May See – Hymn 326 and continues with opening our ears as well. The title for this study “State Of The Heart” can then help us to close our singing in prayer with
Hymn 667 – Lord, Bless Thy Word To Every Heart.
Open My Eyes, That I May See – Hymn 326 and continues with opening our ears as well. The title for this study “State Of The Heart” can then help us to close our singing in prayer with
Hymn 667 – Lord, Bless Thy Word To Every Heart.
Please continue to search the scriptures this week to be blessed, and to bless others.

Tuesday: Bible Truth
Daily Lesson for Tuesday 21st of April 2026
A trend among some liberal theologians in the 1960s was to write God out of the field of theology. In 2017, a cover story of Time magazine featured the headline “Is Truth Dead?” It’s interesting because this trend illustrates the position of our society today. The very idea of “truth” itself is decaying to such an extent that no one knows what truth is anymore. According to popular culture, there is no measuring stick, no foundation that remains constant that can be depended upon to endure the test of time. Contrary to this, Jesus said, “ ‘I am the . . . truth’ ” (John 14:6). His Word testifies about Him as truth in complete purity.
Read the following verses slowly, and then read them again a second time. What do you notice about these messages?
- John 17:17
- Proverbs 30:5-6
- Psalms 12:6

The Bible declares that basic truth, Jesus Himself, doesn’t change (Hebrews 13:8). At the same time, as we read God’s Word, our understanding of God and His truth can grow. “There are mines of truth yet to be discovered by the earnest seeker.”—Ellen G. White, Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5, p. 704. In speaking of “truth,” Ellen G. White always referred to truth as given by God through His Word. We can search for additional light in the Bible because God’s Word never contradicts past truths but instead builds on them.
Read 1 Thessalonians 2:13; Psalms 33:4-5; and Ephesians 1:13. What is the message found in these texts?
In the end, the Bible, and the Bible alone, must be the foundational source of what we understand as truth. All other sources must be tried and tested by the Word of God. Even what we deem “reason” needs to be tested by God’s Word!

Some people want to argue that there is no truth. Why is that statement self-contradictory? That is, why is making the claim that there is no truth an attempt to proclaim truth, and thus self-refuting? |
