Today people are looking for answers (well, actually, I think people have always been looking for answers but that’s beside the point). You only need to go to an ‘alternative’ shop and hear about the power of crystals—particularly when they have been left out during a storm—to get a glimpse of just how desperate we are getting. Well, rather than dial up the creation for answers, a better bet is going straight to the creator. The Bible is God’s Word to us and so when it comes to finding what God has to say it’s the best place to start.
The Apostle Paul tells us how useful the Bible is in 2 Timothy 3:16 “Everything in the Scriptures is God’s Word. All of it is useful for teaching and helping people and for correcting them and showing them how to live.” (CEV)
