The B I B L E, Yes that's the book for me

 Have you ever taken a moment to really think about the Bible - that book that you wish you spent more time with, but sometimes have a hard time prioritizing?  

Many times we have a wrong idea or a series of wrong ideas about what the Bible is.  I think that many people think that it is like a good self-help reference book.  It is not.  Some think it is a manual - it is not.  Some think it is a love letter - it is not.  Of course it has elements of all of these things but it is not any one of them.  It is a unique book.  A book that is the Word of God.  A book that was inspired by God.  A book that is written by human authors and shows their uniqueness and yet shows the reality that it is inspired by a singular God who is sovereign over all.  

This book that you hold, this book that you read is the authoritative Word of God written to many different people at many times and preserved by the will of God so that when we read it the Spirit of God can use it to teach us, and correct us, and train us in righteousness!  What a glorious gift!
