Is the Bible too Old for the Modern World?

Shadows of the past become concrete reflections of today’s reality.

Yet To Be #198


The Bible is a collection of books authored by many and inspired by God.
God is behind every word, idea, and theme of this marvelous book.
Although it charts the story of man, God is the center and heart of the passages written therein.
The stories within the Bible are historical and full of years yet are relatable for the present times.
Shadows of the past become concrete reflections of today’s reality.
The people of the Old Testament and New Testament foreshadow the actions of us today who are under grace and are no longer identified by earthly origin but now are called children of God.
Stories of faith, endurance, encouragement, social and economic depression, health and sickness, death, and dying are all present in this book.

There is no concern left unturned.


All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine (beliefs and teachings), for reproof (rebuke, reprimand, and criticism), correction (changing to make right), for instruction in righteousness (teaching to live right). 2 Timothy 3 verse 16.


Life is a journey of learning and the Bible is an excellent guidebook.
