We Know God's Truth Through God's Commandments
by Rick Warren

"All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right" (2 Timothy 3:16 NLT).

If I discover truth from the Bible, how do I know the Bible is true? There's a world of objective evidence, both external and internal, that says the Bible is true.

External evidence proves the Bible is a historical book that you can rely on. There are 5,366 copies of the Bible dating from the time it was written to just seventy years afterwards. That fact dispels the urban legend that the Bible was changed as it passed through generations and languages.

External evidence also includes many archeological discoveries. For example, historians used to say that Solomon couldn't have had the horses the Bible says he had because no one had horses at that time. But then thousands of horse stables were found in an archeological dig.

There's also the internal evidence of the Bible itself. In a court of law, a prosecutor with two or three eyewitness accounts has a good chance of making his case. The Bible is filled with eyewitness accounts. Moses was there when the Red Sea split; Joshua was there to watch Jericho fall; the disciples saw the resurrected Jesus.

The internal evidence of the Bible also includes the fact that it tells one story with consistency—though it was written over 1,500 years on three different continents by 40 different authors from every walk of life. No human being could account for that. It's an amazing example of God's abilities.

The Bible says, "There's nothing like the written Word of God for showing you the way to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another—showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God's way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us" (2 Timothy 3:15-17 MSG).

Message for the week of

March 14, 2010

Continued Blessings To You!

I thank you for coming by and sharing with me this week. The last two weeks have been kind of hard on me, since I've not been well. But I find my body is recouperating slowly and hopefully, I'll be back on my feet. I thank you all for your prayers and encouragement!

This week's chapter summary/review is the final chapter. As I've said before, It is not even a full written page. So I've decided to just post it as is, with of course my own interpretation to follow.

I thank all of you that have come these past 20 weeks to read and share with me this wonderful book by Dr. Billy Graham. And I'm encouraged that when I return with another publication in May, that you will join me again with the weekly chapter summary/review. As of yet, I'm not sure which book I will review, however, many have asked me to do "Purpose Drive Life" again. It was the first book series when I began SweetSpiritz in 2007. I will truly consider doing it again, but I'm open to any and all suggestions for the next series. Although there will be no book review until May, there will be a weekly message. So I hope that you will continue to share with me as I take some time off.

I've decided to take this rest period to attend to my health needs, as well as do some serious planning for my future, as well as the future of my family. It has been my wish to complete some issues that I've let go unattended. It is also a time to get rid of old things that I no longer have a use for. All in all, its' time to make some changes that I've put off for too long. And I prayed for God to show me the way. And HE has.

My prayers go out to all of those who are suffering from illness or who are in despair. I say to you that all is not lost. I pray that you open your hearts and minds to Jesus. Don't be too quick to judge and make assumptions on what you think you know. But be open to the guiding hand of God so you can make the right choices and walk a clear and straight path.

Until next week, I pray that you have a blessed week, and continue to give God the praise in all that you say and do...God Bless. And have a safe and happy St. Patricks' Day!

With Love,
