The Bible

The sixty-six books we call the Bible are the bedrock and power of our faith. The words are life and the fountain of all wisdom and knowledge. The Bible is also one of the most significant idols in the world, and especially among religious people. It can be used to manipulate others, and it can be used to support deadly falsehoods through deception and through treacherous linguistic engineering. Even when presenting and teaching the very truth it reveals, it is often used in self righteousness.

But the two predominant thrusts of Scripture are to present Jesus Christ and draw sinners to Him, and to remake believers into the image of that same Jesus.
