Most people who have never really opened a Bible before would truly be surprised by what’s inside if they did. The word “Bible” refers to a “library” – and in a sense, that’s exactly what it is! There are many exciting and fascinating things about the Bible – who wrote it, where and when it was written, and what types of books and other writings form the 66 “books” in total that line up from cover to cover. Are you curious to know more about how the Bible came about, what it’s comprised of and how to start reading it? Watch this video, and head over to [https://www.adventist.org/holy-scriptures/understanding-the-bible/] for a short series of articles on getting the very most from this most excellent book of books that not only introduces you to history and stories of people in the past, but the God who created and loves them all – even you!

We often hear the saying, “to see is to believe.” But can we establish our beliefs on what we see? In this episode, Pastor Ted Wilson talks about the great delusion of the end time. He shares how we can survive it and stand for truth. In art, specifically in drawings and paintings, there is what we call “optical illusion.” For instance, the famous German artist Edgar Mueller’s “Crevasse” seems to show a vast glacial drop in the pavement. Then, there is a person dangerously teetering on the edge of the precipice. Though the artwork is merely on a completely flat surface, it gives an illusion of three dimensions. Indeed, illusions are amazing. But for them to work, they must distort reality to appear realistic from the person’s viewpoint. In relation, Proverbs 14:12 says, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” We, humans, tend to think we know what is right. Little do we know we are often victims of distorted truths. However, Proverbs 9:10 reminds us that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Also, “the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” But how can we have the “Holy One” and know God? In John 17:3, Jesus mentioned, “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ Whom You have sent.” In verse 8, He continued, “For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from you; and they have believed that You sent Me.” Continuing in verse 14, Jesus spoke, “I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.” In verse 17, He prayed, “Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.” Finally, in verses 20 and 21, Jesus prayed for us. “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one…” As we can see, God’s Word is the theme of Jesus’ prayer. Moreover, according to 2 Timothy 3:16, 17, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God.” It is “profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” Now, as we near the end of time approaching eternity, we will face great deceptions. An error will be presented as truth, and the truth will be condemned as an error. As such, we need to be prepared. We have to stand firm in defense of God’s commandments. With faith in God’s Word, let us connect with Him daily through prayer and reading of the Scriptures, guided by the Holy Spirit. 00:00 Greetings

In Christian witnessing, what kind of drinks can we offer to others? Can we provide the same spiritual drink that Jesus provided to the dehydrated soul of a Samaritan woman? Many people are thirsty for living water. Many are ethically, morally, and spiritually blind for a long time. Help Jesus to set them free. Respond to the challenge of being a Christian. Ask the Holy Spirit to make us a blessing to others. Reach out to the souls that are dehydrated for the truth. Take the initiative to share the living water of Christ. Let us follow His excellent example. In the virtual global campmeeting, with Dr. Barry Black, Chaplain United Sante States, allow God to empower you to say, "Yes, i will go!" empowering dehydrated souls. Drink the living water from the inspiring message of God through Dr. Black. Know the significance of breaking down barriers to make disciples of all nations because God wants us to impact the community service.

Worried about what God’s will is for your life? The Bible has powerful guidance for how to live. It reveals the values we should embrace. These are more important than the career path we choose. Ultimately, God wants us to live like Jesus. To love others as Jesus does. This is a lifelong challenge. Blog: https://www.ibelievebible.com/live-free-love-free/ ___

As Christians, we believe the Biblical view of sex is the best way. But in the past, have we always communicated this is the healthiest way to our teens–especially our young girls? This week on ANN In-Depth we talk to Erica Jones, associate director of Women’s Ministries for the Adventist Church in North America and writer Ruth Hodge, about Purity Culture.
