God's Word

The Bible is one of the most convincing historical examples of God’s over-arching providence. This study seeks to show that when God revealed the contents of the Bible to man, He selected and inspired them to write the texts. The Bible did not pop into existence like a “Jack-out-of-the-box.” It has a beginning, a continuing, and a conclusion covering about 1500 years. If we understand this we will not open the Bible and read a short isolated statement as if it were a fortune cookie with a special message for us alone. The Bible was not dropped on our doorstep like the daily newspaper. It did not flash out of the sky like a bolt of lightning. It did not mysteriously rise like early morning wisps of fog from the surface of some plaid, cosmic lake. It is not a collection of dreams or a repository of magical tricks. No. It is real, practical, and genuine.
