What is good? What is
normal and what is
deviant? Only the
Word of God can
supply the true answers
In its pages are revealed the
causes of today's
ills- the social problems, the
economic problems,
international problems.
Wh y?
Simply because when
most people try to read
the Bible, they try to
understand it through
to these and other
crucial questions with
which humanity ls
faced.
God, through his
written word, tells us
what we are, how to
live, and how and when
we can achieve our
ultimate human
potential. Thc Bible
spells out thc way to
peace and happiness for
all humanity- vital
knowledge that is
missing from our
schools, universities and
evcn our churches.
The Bible claims to
be God's revclation to
man of
basic
knowledge-knowledge
of laws and principies
that man is unable to
discover for himself.
The law of gravity, for
example, is not directly
revealed in the Bible.
God equipped man with
the powers and abi lities
lo discover lhe law of
gravity for himself.
But man has not been able to discover with
assurance
what
he is and
why
he was put here on
earth-whelher there is a real
purpose
for human
life or what that purpose is. Man has not been able
to discover the true way lo peace, happiness,
abundant well-being and real success.
Only in the Bible can one find this necessary basic
knowledge.

People could
understand the Bible- if
they were reaJJy willing
to study it and accept it
for whal it says. And it
doesn't say what most
people think it says. The
Bible is plain and simple.

means exactly what it
says. lf we take itas it

read personal opinions
into it- then the Bible
makes real sense. I t pre–
