The older I get and more I've lived through, the more I see such universal truths in the Bible. Years ago, I would not have said this, but now I see that everything we need is in that book. It's like nothing else.

You'll get no argument from me about THESE statements!


My experience as a teacher has shown me it is a lot easier to teach folks what they DON'T know about the Bible; than to UNteach them what they are convinced is IN the Bible.

I enjoyed the book Shocked by the Bible in part for that very reason.

Interesting how the Bible has become such a source for argument and that His Church has become so divided.

How He must grieve and ache for His lost children. Was His sacrifice all in vain? How full must be His cups of Justice and Wrath.

I have come to learn that we can choose to know His Love and Peace, but sadly, foolish, proud, wretched children that we are, we appear to be in line to learn to fear His Wrath and Justice instead.
