2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
In a world of wavering truths we must be reminded ofthat which is true.
“The Lord said, the Lord spoke, and God said, is mentioned 3,800 times throughout the word of God.”
The English word, Bible, is from the Latin word biblia, which means “books.” It has been referred to as the “Book of books.”
