2008 Challenge


"I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil." Psalms 119:162

"I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word." Psalms 119:16

This year I would like to challenge myself and anyone who is reading this to study their Bibles - either for the first time or for veterans - more than ever before.

The Bible is the greatest book ever written. In it God Himself speaks to humankind. It is a book of divine instruction. It offers comfort in sorrow, guidance in perplexity, advice for our problems, rebuke for our sins, and daily inspiration for our every need.
The Bible is not simply one book. It is an entire library of books covering the whole range of literature. It includes history, poetry, drama, biography, prophecy, philosophy, science, and inspirational reading. Little wonder, then, that all or part of the Bible has been translated into more than 1,200 languages, and every year more copies of the Bible are sold than of any other single book.
The Bible alone truly answers the greatest questions that people of all ages have asked: "Where have I come from?" "Where am I going?" "Why am I here?" "How can I know the truth?" For the Bible reveals the truth about God, explains the origin of human beings, points out the only way to salvation and eternal life, and explains the age-old problem of sin and suffering.
