Unique Scripture


“All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching the faith and correcting error, for re-setting the direction of a man’s life and training him in good living. The Scriptures are the comprehensive equipment of the man of God, and fit him fully for all branches of his work.” Philips – The New Testament in Modern English

“For the Word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12

The Bible is unique. It is the only book of such astounding harmony written over about 1500 years, by more than 40 authors of every walk of life, who lived in different places on three continents while in different moods and in three languages. It contains no less than 14 different literary styles to address hundreds of controversial subjects (marriage, business, character development, parenting, who God is and who we are, etc.); and from Genesis through Revelation is all about one central Character and theme. Neat isn’t it?!!

Stay near God's Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene
