The purpose of the Bible is to bring men to Christ, to make them holy and prepare them for heaven.

"Which they . . . wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction." (2 Peter 3:16)

I believe that everything in the Bible is true, but to attempt to make the Bible a textbook for science is to misunderstand it completely and tragically!

It has become a fairly popular practice for Bible teachers to claim to find in the Scriptures confirmation of almost every recent discovery made by science. Apparently no one noticed that the scientist had to find it before the Bible teacher could, and it never seemed to occur to anyone to wonder why, if it was there in the Bible in such plain sight, it took several thousand years and the help of science before anyone saw it.

In recent years, the Bible has been “recommended” for many other purposes from the one for which it was written. The purpose of the Bible is to bring men to Christ, to make them holy and prepare them for heaven. Any manipulation of the Scriptures to make them speak peace to the natural man is evil and can only lead to ruin!

Thank You, Lord, for providing -- and preserving -- the Word of God through successive generations. I pray that it will get more exposure in our churches and through creative media formats reach more people.
