the bible

i got into a great discussion last week with a couple of my friends over personal beliefs about the Bible. While my complete views and beliefs about the Bible are vast and would take a long time to write down and explain, I found a quote by my boy voddie baucham that summarily explains why i believe the Bible to be true.

"I choose to believe the Bible because it is a reliable collection of historical documents, written by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses. They report supernatural events that took place in fulfillment of specific prophecies, and they claim to be divine rather than human in origin."

This quote by Spurgeon really hit me today:

"God will have you turn your eye off yourself and look unto Him. The hardest thing in the world is to turn a man's eye off himself; as long as he lives he always has a predilection to turn his eyes inside and look at himself; whereas God says, 'Look unto me. [Isaiah 45:22]' From the cross of Calvary, where the bleeding hands of Jesus drop mercy; from the garden of Gethsemane, where the bleeding pores of the Saviour sweat pardons, the cry comes, "Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth." [Isaiah 45:22]
