*Have you ever wondered if God's Word is any more than a bunch of good stories?
The Bible comes even more alive when we realize that it's God's
scrapbook. Paging through it, you learn more about him with each turn.
It overflows with collages of pictures, stories, poems, and letters.
You'll discover a piece of music that David wrote for him and a prayer God received from Job. You'll glimpse a snapshot of God's face as he watched his Son die.
What makes the Bible a unique scrapbook is that it doesn't just
commemorate the past--it provides guidance for today and hope for
tomorrow. You can find your name and face in its pages. Next to each
Bible promise is a picture of you. The same hope, the same gifts, and
the same salvation recorded in the Bible apply to you. This scrapbook
isn't a nostalgic keepsake. It's a living, dynamic, hopeful expectation
of God's plans for the future.
All Scripture is given by God
and is useful for teaching, for showing people what is wrong in their
lives, for correcting faults, and for teaching how to live right. Using
the Scriptures, the person who serves God will be capable, having all
that is needed to do every good work.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17)
