In the Beginning, the Word

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." John 1:1, 14

Jesus is the Word! That's why the writer of Hebrews says that the Word of God is "living and powerful". I don't know about you, but I am passionate about getting closer to God. I desire an intimate relationship with Jesus and thankfully I've been given a gift to help me accomplish just that - the Word! The Bible is a unique and absolutely remarkable book. It is actually a library of 66 books written over a span of 1,500 years, by 40 different authors from every walk of life. We all know that people from different walks of life have different perspectives on life. Yet the Bible was written by: Kings, Servants, Philosophers, Fishermen, Poets, Doctors, Military Leaders, Herdsman, and even a First Century IRS agent. The authors of the Bible wrote from a variety of places like deserts, dungeons, palaces, islands, battlefields, hillsides, and prison cells. They wrote on 3 different continents (Europe, Asia, and Africa) in 16 different countries in 3 different languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek). Their writings cover hundreds of controversial subjects yet they speak in perfect unity. This can't be explained by coincidence.

Think about it; if we brought up one controversial subject like the war in Iraq and all of us were to write a couple of pages on that subject, do you think we would all have total unity in our opinions? Absolutely not! Yet the Bible, which was written by 40 different people, with various backgrounds, living in diverse places, spoke with perfect unity on a broad range of controversial subjects. The Bible is a unified story of how God worked throughout history to restore His relationship with the human race.

This book is just as relevant today as it was the day it was written. It will give you timeless answers for raising your kids. There is no better way to improve your marriage than applying the principles from His Word. This book will help you manage your emotions, your money, and help you break bad habits. Finding fulfillment in life is found in the Word of God. But the greatest of all is experiencing God's forgiveness and receiving eternal life through Jesus Christ - the living Word!

Get in the Word and let it change you.
