The relevancy of God's word, part 5

Over the past few weeks we have looked at the relevancy of God's word. Despite what some may think, it is just as needed and meaningful today as when it was penned. Our world would be a much better place if everyone took the time to read study and obey God's word. It has been said that if the Bible were not true (but it is) the world would profit by following its teachings.

Recently I read an article about a 2 year old girl with an IQ of 152 and they say she is a genius. She has been invited to come on television shows and has been interviewed by scores of reporters.

Taking on the odds

For years I have heard the stories of family, friends and acquaintances tell of coming in contact with deer with their vehicles. I had been driving for 33 years and had never received that privilege. I really thought that I could go for the rest of my life without doing it. I started feeling pretty good about it to the point that I almost felt exempt. I do not know what the odds ...

The relevancy of God's word, part 3
