I choose to believe the Bible because it's a reliable collection of historical documents written down by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses that report to supernatural events that took place before, of specific prophecies and claim that their writings are divine rather than human in origin.

Onward - Sanctification
The last instruction Jesus left with His disciples – The Great Commission:
“And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’” Matthew 28:18-20
Just as if…
“Now we know that whatever the Law [of Moses] says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that [the excuses of] every mouth may be silenced [from protesting] and that all the world may be held accountable to God [and subject to His judgment].
“For no person will be justified [freed of guilt and declared…
Gracious Guilt
““I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members.
“Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free…
How to KNOW
“For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am of flesh, sold into bondage to sin. For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I m doing the very thing I hate. But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good.
“So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but…
Tithe-free Rue

Sweetening Disobedience

Little Red Boxes
“Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ‘Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When a man or woman makes a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to dedicate himself to the Lord, he shall abstain from wine and strong drink; he shall drink no vinegar, whether made from wine or strong drink, nor shall he drink any grape juice nor eat fresh or dried grapes. All the days of…
Validate the Bible
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.” John 1:1-3

Quail in Psalms
“Then He brought them out with silver and gold; and among His tribes there was not one who stumbled. Egypt was glad when they departed; for the dread of them had fallen upon them.
“He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to illumine by night. They asked, and He brought quail, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
“He opened the rock, and water flowed out; it ran in the dry places like…
Discontent In Excess
“Then the sons of Israel, the whole congregation, came to the wilderness of Zin in the first month; and the people stayed at Kadesh. Now Miriam died there and was buried there. There was no water for the congregation, and they assembled themselves against Moses and Aaron. The people thus contended with Moses and spoke, saying, ‘If only we had perished when our brothers perished before the Lord!
“’Why then have you brought the Lord’s assembly into…
Offer Your Best
“Juda said to his father Israel, ‘Send the land with me and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, we as well as you and our little ones. I myself will be surety for him; you may hold me responsible for him. If I do not bring him back to you, and set him before you, then let me bear the blame before you forever. For if we had not delayed, surely by now…
Are you perfect?
““By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins fort all time, sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time onward until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet.
“For by one offering He has perfected for…

Like a Flea!
“Then Saul recognised David’s voice and said, ‘Is this your voice, my son David?’ And David said, ‘It is my voice, my lord the king.’ He also said, ‘Why then is my lord pursuing his servant? For what have I done? Or what evil is in my hand?’

The ‘Complainers’
“Now the people became like those who complain of adversity in the hearing of the Lord; and when the Lord heard it, His anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp.

Pressing Olives

“’Yet gleanings will be left in it like the shaking of an olive tree, two or three olives on the topmost bough, four or…
