From the Elder's Pen "Why I Believe The Bible" 5/19/02 Past/Future Articles

 I believe the Bible to be the Word of God:
 Because it is the champion of human liberties.
 Because it is founded upon justice and mercy.
 Because it fills men with desire to help others.
 Because it presents the divine-human Person-Christ
 Because it points out the Way from sin to salvation.
 Because it brings peace and comfort to heart and mind.
 Because no other book has been so loved and hated.
 Because it’s life stories have a perennial, universal charm.
 Because it reveals the only indispensable Man-Christ Jesus.
 Because its influence is rapidly traveling to the whole world.
 Because after two thousand years of publication, it is still the  world’s best seller.
 Because it records the only authentic history of the human race.
 Because its benefits are not limited to any race, color, or condition.
 Because, when accepted, men immediately seek for better things.
 Because it provides the only real consolation for men dying in war.
 Because its messages of hope have saved many from self-destruction.
 Because it recognizes and upholds the dignity and individuality of every person.
 Because those who would destroy it have not furnished any substitute of value.
 I believe the Bible to be the Word of God:
 Because it reveals the only Way out of this present evil world into a better one.
