We continue our series on 'Core Christianity: 15 essential doctrines of the Christian Faith, and how they change our daily life.' We've reached the 9th message in this series, and it's on the Bible, and the role of the Scriptures in our lives as Christians. What exactly IS the Bible? It’s easily, far and away, the best-selling book of all time. But is it just some ancient words of wisdom? A collection of myths and legends? The writings of spiritual mystics, trying to understand God and the universe? No other book has been as hated, as misunderstood, and as criticized as the Bible. People have tried to ban it, tried to burn it, tried to dismiss it, and tried to ‘update it for modern times’ … and yet, the Bible is still here and still transforming lives around the world. It’s just like Jesus predicted… “Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.” (Mark 13:31) Is it possible that this book is, as it claims to be, the actual Words of God? If it is God’s Word to us humans – then what does that mean for how we live our daily lives?
