J U N E 8 “…when He appointed the foundations of the earth, then I was by Him, as one brought up with Him…” — Proverbs 8:29-30

Science, a Gift From Christians

In Proverbs 8:22-31, there is a creation poem. Creation is described here as something that is not accidental. The Creator is not a blind force, but rather an intelligent being. The Word has been eternally generated by the Father. His first creation was wisdom. And this of course is the wisdom by which all other things have been created. Now this contrasts marvelously with all of the heathen conceptions. In those schemes, caprice is supreme... More

J U N E 7 “I must do the works of Him who sent Me while it is day. Night is coming when no one can work.” — John 9:4

Avoiding the Will to Fail

Have you ever noticed how sometimes, just on the eve of victory, someone will sabotage his own success by doing something foolish, even if it took him a while to get to that point? He subconsciously gave in to what some psychologists call “the will to failure.” In her 1936 classic book, Wake Up & Live!, Dorothea Brande devotes a chapter to the “Will to Fail.” She talks about people who are...

J U N E 6 “As Jehudi read three or four columns, the king cut it with a scribe’s knife and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.” — Jeremiah 36:23

The Imperishable Word

In the days of Jeremiah the prophet, Jehoiakim, an evil king, did not like hearing the Word of God. So he burned it. No other writings in history have been so intensely and consistently vilified over such a period of time as have the Scriptures. Even during the Old Testament period, the evil Jewish king Manasseh attempted to destroy all of the writings of the Scriptures. Yet, twenty years later, his grandson, Josiah, found a copy of the...

J U N E 5 “The words of the Lord are pure words; they are silver tried in an earthen furnace refined seven times.” — Psalm 12:6

God Has Preserved His Word

Not only are there more manuscripts of the New Testament in existence than any other ancient writing, but the time lapse between the original writing and the oldest existing copy is shorter. Obviously, if that time span increases, there is more time for corruption to creep into the manuscripts. For example, the time that elapsed between the time that Plato wrote and the earliest extant manuscript of his writings is 1,200 years. In the case... More

J U N E 4 “I, Tertius, who wrote down this letter, greet you in the Lord.” — Romans 16:22

Like No Other Book of Antiquity

Consider, if you will, the wonder of the certainty that we may have concerning the Bible. Since no original autograph of any ancient writer is extant today, we always have to rely upon copies of copies. In many cases concerning historical writings, we cannot be absolutely certain if we have what was originally written by the author. The level of certainty primarily depends upon two factors: First, the number of manuscripts that are extant,... More

J U N E 3 “God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He spoken, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?” — Numbers 23:19

The Bible’s Amazing Unity

First there is an idea, which the author develops into an outline he can take to a publisher. When one is found, they usually work jointly to complete the manuscript, taking it through various stages of editing until the final version is ready to be printed. However, with the Scripture there was no outline, no topic assigned, no editorial committee on this earth, no plan for production, no completion or publication dates. Indeed, some 40... More

J U N E 2 “…for wisdom is better than rubies, and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.” — Proverbs 8:11

The Benefits of Wisdom

God’s wisdom is personified in Proverbs 8, calling out to the people to follow her ways. We see in this passage various excellencies of wisdom—how it is able to touch the locks and open the latches of all of the doors of wisdom and knowledge and inventions. All things open in the face of wisdom. By wisdom kings reign and princes rule, and judges judge the earth. Wisdom says, “I love those who love me, and those that seek me... More
