So many folks ignore reading the Bible, or, if they should browse its pages, they find so much to be unfathomable, not knowing even where to begin. That really shouldn't be such a surprise since so much of it deals with God who is invisible and unknowable to our natural disposition. What's more, we know that even in things of this world, knowledge doesn't always come easy. Who ever accomplished anything significant without a dedicated desire and willingness to learn? But folks often think they should understand spiritual truth in five minutes. The real problem is that most people aren't interested or are even defiant. Not only does the Bible confirm this, but it is evident to honest observation. So if you've wanting answers to the issues of life, you should count yourself blessed. At least that's what Jesus said in the sermon on the mount, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst, for they shall be filled." He also said we must be born again. We must get honest. We must acknowledge our own helplessness and unworthiness before God and place our hope in a miraculous God who can change our lives. 

It might help to know that the Bible speaks of TWO creations--this one with which we are so familiar, and God's spiritual creation that existed even before he formed the heavens and the earth. We can know quite a bit about this present world by means of our natural senses and intellect. We can see some good. We can see some bad. We should see--though we avoid it--that this creation is temporary. Things wear out. The things we so prize end up in the trash heap or junk yard. Our bodies suffer, die and end up in the grave. We wonder about it all, most often without any clue. The wisdom of this world is useless. The Bible says the gospel truth is foolishness to the world. We remain in the dark until we enter into truth God's way. He has given us the answers but they come only by faith. How else could God who is invisible reveal Himself than by a man like as us, one with whom we can identify?  In Missouri it's said, "Seeing is believing." With God, it's just the opposite--believe and then you will see. The purpose of this website is to encourage you to do that. 

You got questions? God has answers!

You’ll find them in His Book--who He is, His plan for creation, why you see both good and evil in the world, how you can know Him for sure.

Since the Bible deals with God, it is often misunderstood and discounted by many. Yet its truth is proved by prophesy. Do you know that centuries before Christ lived, his birth, life, death and resurrection were spelled out in detail by some 300 prophesies? Could anyone but God know the future? Could He not inspire men to reveal his thoughts? 

This book gives us the history of civilization and foretells our future. Our nation and the world is in trouble because it is ignored. Find out what it says for yourself.

The problem and the solution

First, the Bible reveals we’re born with a disposition that ignores God. Only by receiving His Spirit will we understand. “The natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” As Jesus told Nicodemus, “You must be born again,” that is, spiritually. He said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst  for they shall be satisfied..”    

Also, we must have faith, not pumped up “positive thinking” but an attitude of simple trust in Him and what He declares. “Without faith it is impossible to please Him.” We need to quit trying to figure Him out. He is invisible, Holy, unknowable by natural ability.

Last, to be born anew is one thing; to grow up is another. We must come to know what He says and hold Him to His promises. In the trials of life, we will trust Him regardless of how things look, not by our feelings. His word is truth, the only lasting reality.

What do you think of all this?

Has God created this world without giving us a clue about why? Are you willing to check out what he says rather than settle for hearsay?

You may already believe in God, but if so, exactly what is He like? Just about everyone believes in God, each with his own perception, so there is no end of dissension about who He really is. Do we not in our minds create idols of Him, making God in our own image? The Bible warns us that “even the demons believe--and tremble!” The apostle Paul cautions, “For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth . . . yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ.”

The Bible repeatedly emphasizes that the words of the men by whom God revealed Himself are inspired by God, literally “God-breathed.” True or not? If not, the Bible must be a lie, a travesty deceiving all of mankind. Many infer that is so. What do you say?

What this can mean to you

God in His perfection must be opposed to whatever is not true of Him. Do you want Him to be less than perfect? He loves us but hates sin and must punish it. He did that 2,000 years ago, bruising His only Son who suffered for our sins on the Cross.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

We can’t help being born separated from God. We inherited that from Adam. Neither can we merit the approval of God. We can, however, accept the gift He offers. To spurn that is to choose hell; God will not violate our will.

Check out what He says. Read your Bible daily. He offers a life “out of this world,” an adventure leading to a personal knowledge and enjoyment of the One who made and loves you. Will it be quick and easy? No, but worth it all.
