Why I choose to believe the Bible by Voddie Baucham- MUST SEE!

For my Christian friends who like myself in times past have defended their belief in accuracy of God's Word with answers like:" It's what I was raised to believe" or "God changed my life, so I know He is real and the Bible is true" I challenge you to take 45 minutes to watch this series of videos http://youtu.be/EPNraxxxRO8 (part 1 here, watch parts 1 to 5) and see the failure to connect with any unsaved person based on such illogical answers. This message challenged me a lot, and I also suggest Jason Lisle's Ultimate Proof of Creation to further educate us on this issue. We will never reach the lost for Christ using illogical, emotional, irrational answers. 

I thank God that we have truth of God's Word that stands up to any challenge, and to quote brother Baucham, “The Bible is a reliable collection of historical documents written down by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses that reports supernatural events that took place in fulfillment of specific prophecies and claim that their writings are divine writings rather than human in origin.”

Watch the video and be challenged, encouraged, and blessed. Thank you!

The Lord's Day

As our family sat around the table at breakfast this morning, it was great to see everyone got a good night's sleep. Yesterday, we had about 17 people at our home for our Thanksgiving meal. Some family members had to work on Thursday while my oldest son and I laid new flooring at my wife's parents house. After a long week of hard work, it was good to have much of our family and friends gathered around the table to enjoy the Lord's provision and bless Him for all He has done. 

Today, we took it easy and just enjoyed our time together for the early morning, taking our day of rest. Soon, we will be watching Voddie Baucham's message "Why I Choose To Believe The Bible" on Youtube. We are glad to have such great teaching and preaching available in our modern age and consider it a great privilege to have this kind of access to the teaching of faithful men of God.

Later on we hope to work through the "Catastrophe" portion of AIG's "Hiking through History" which works through the Gospel in a clear and concise chronological approach. The books were graciously given to us by a brother in Christ from West Virginia some time ago and are finally being put to use. I am amazed that sometimes we let good material sit around the house some times, but I also consider it a blessing that we have this type of abundance and are able to use things like this on a cold windy day (though the kids played outside for quite a while)and that we can talk about the Lord's salvation again by making use of resources that rely on God's Word for its authority. 

Grace and peace to you all in the Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ the Righteous.
