We currently live in a society that no longer believes in the Bible as the revelation of the Word of God. People today deny its inspiration, its inerrancy, its eternality, its sufficiency and its authority. There was a time in our land where intelligent and inquiring minds would want to know what God had to say about an issue. But that time has long gone because we have raised two generations of people who are biblically illiterate. We have failed to teach this generation the Bible and we have failed to live out its truths in front of them.
The Bible has been attacked from all sides. From the classroom to the court room to the halls of Congress and to the court houses. Nobody dares to even ask “what says the Word of God?” We have become our own authority, our own inspiration, our own little gods and our own sufficiency. We are smarter than God. We are wiser than God. We are more intelligent than God.
We know what is best for ourselves.
We do not need any help from the Bible.
It is too old and outdated and antiquated and irrelevant.
We can do just fine on our own. Thank you very much.
That is --- until we get ready to die! Until Momma dies and Daddy dies and sister dies and brother dies and precious dies. THEN, we want to know:
Is there life after death?
Is there really a heaven or hell?
Will I see my loved ones again?
Is this it?
Or is there more?
Hey, smarty pants! The only place you can find answers to those questions is in that old book we called the BIBLE!
