Why do you believe the Bible is real?

Thallus (c. AD 50): Perhaps the earliest secular reference, Thallus was a Samaritan historian whose work is lost but quoted by Julius Africanus. He attempted to explain away the darkness during Jesus' crucifixion as a solar eclipse.

The Tel Dan Stele (9th Century BCE): An Aramaic inscription that provides the earliest non-biblical mention of the "House of David," confirming the existence of the Davidic dynasty.

• It’s because of the all the supported facts in the Bible that I believe beyond a reasonable doubt that it is true and factual.
• I also have experienced its truths to be active in my own life.
• Though at times I loose sight of what matters most.

1. What do you do when you get off track?

Luke 15:1-7 ESV

When things of value have came up missing from your life what should you do?

• Evaluate what remains.

1. Be attentive to what you do have.
2. Treasure where you are.
3. Go after what is missing.

Luke 15:8-10

The Parable of the Lost Coin

…………….Let me ask you a question, is life about finding the valuable or the process of finding it?

• The answer is yes.
• The process aluminates your steps.

Psalm 119:105 ESV

1. Be attentive to what you do have.
2. Treasure where you are.
3. Go after what is missing.

Why is it so important to you to follow the words of the Bible?

Psalm 19:7-11 ESV

• The Bible is
• Perfect
• Reviving
• Sure
• Wisdom
• Right
• Pure
• Enlightening
• Rejoicing
• Clean
• Enduring forever
• True
• Righteous

That makes it more desirable than gold. I need this in my life by the truck loads.

By these words I’m warned.

By following them I’m greatly rewarded.
