I build my life and ministry activities around what I know from the Bible. And that must seem incredibly strange to a lot of people who have been indoctrinated into thinking that the Bible is some kind of irrelevant relic of yester-year.
Over the years I have been bombarded with many of the claims and attacks on the Bible. At times I have even been impacted by them, confused about what to think of some parts of the Bible, embarrassed to admit that I believe in God and the Bible, and so on. However, as I have taken the time to consider the reality of the Bible and the claims of those who object to it, I have come to a sound confidence in the Bible and what it teaches. I have also seen that many of the charges against the Bible are false, deceptive and at times even ludicrous.
There are many things that could be said about the Bible and I will share some of them with you, to help you understand why I value it so much and stand by what it says with such confidence.
Consider these descriptors which I use to present what the Bible is. The Bible is the most Enduring, Authoritative, Profound, Resilient, Enlightening, Impactful, Endorsed and Significant book in all of human history.
Over the next few days I’ll elaborate on these comments for you, to help clarify in your mind, as it is in mine, that the Bible is truly the most significant book you will ever have the privilege to read.
