THE BIBLE-A Textbook for Living

"THE word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword . . . and is able to discern thoughts and intentions of the heart."  (Hebrews 4:12)  This description of what God's Word can accomplish surely stamps the Bible as more than just a good book.

"Its message is as vital to our lives as our next breath," one religion writer put it succinctly.  Then he added:  "When you take the issue of our longing and need for healing today and read the Bible in that light, astonishing results follow."  Like a lamp that burns brightly, the Bible sheds light on the many complex issues and problems of modern-day living. -Psalm 119:105.

Indeed, the wisdom expressed in the Bible has the power to mold our thinking, help us solve problems, improve the quality of our life and equip us with the skills to cope with those situations that we cannot change.  Most important, the Bible enables us to get to know and love God.
