I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches. Psalm 119:14
What a remarkable book is the Bible! It’s just the right length–long enough to tell us all that God wants us to know, yet short enough to carry in our hands. Its verses are deep enough to puzzle scholars, yet simple enough for children to memorize. It’s the food of the soul.
The Bible is infallible in telling us about fallible people. It’s as high as the highest heavens, but as down to earth as David’s adultery, Noah’s drunkenness, or Paul’s argument with Barnabas. Without sugarcoating its heroes, it shows us how to live extraordinary lives as pilgrims in this world.
Though timeless, it’s timely. Though written over a span of ages, its message is consistent and cohesive. It’s without error, but it shows us our errors and helps us correct them. It reveals to us the holiness of God, the mercy of Christ, the power of Calvary, the way to heaven, and the life that wins. It contains all the answers we need even when we don’t always understand the questions.

Christ and the Bible are the two impregnable forces upon which Christianity stands or falls. (By Robert Lightner)
