We live in a time where there is a eroding credibility of the Bible. We see this in the education field, popular media, and even in government. With what we are seeing today, it’s hard to imagine that in 1854 The United States Congress said, “The Congress of the United States recommends and approves the Holy Bible for use in our schools.”We've never needed God’s Word in our lives more than we do today.I was thinking today about the power of the stories we find in the Word of God. These stories are included to build our faith and to teach us of the faithfulness of God.“For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.” (Romans 15:4)Many Bible readers today only read the New Testament. In fact, one man told me he didn’t like the God of the Old Testament. He liked the God of the New Testament a lot better.If we don’t read the Old Testament, then we are not reading the Bible of Jesus, Paul, and the other apostles. The Old Testament was the only Bible that they knew. The teaching of Jesus and the apostles is built on the Old Testament. They assumed that those they taught were familiar with its stories and teaching. If we don’t have a basic grasp of the Old Testament, we cannot adequately understand the New Testament.
