The Scriptures clearly teach that The Word of God is sufficient for every good work. But do we really act believe this?
Most true believers would quickly say, "Yes", but evidence otherwise is pervasive, especially in 21st Century American church settings. Many Christian claim to be based on the scriptures, but the question is, do they utilize the scriptures exclusively. For example, when you pick up a book from Tyndale House, are you certain the writers have a Bible-based, Christocentric mindset? When you read something from Moody Press, how do you know the teaching found therein comes directly and ONLY from the scriptures? Many may simply trust the publisher, the editors, the reputation of the organization; but I am not sure we can.
I find that normally, even mainstream evangelical Christian writers, tend to mix "truths" (please note the quotes) from Business (Marketing, Sales Tactics), Psychology, Sociology, Materialstic Science (Biology, Chemistry and Geology that leaves out God) in what they have to say about the condition of man. Rather than relying on Christ alone for their "way" of defining, analyzing and solving problems, they rely on other ways of men.
We do not need other ways to live. Jesus Christ is THE Way, THE Truth and THE Life. There is no other WAY, no other TRUTH, no other Life that is found outside of HIM.
He is the Word of God.
He is Sufficient.
He is what we need.
He is ALL we need.
Do not add to HIM
