Today's Scripture: James 4:4-8
Those who discredit the Bible face serious challenges due to recent archeological discoveries. Biblical Archeology Review reported Israeli geologists have examined a stone tablet detailing King Solomon’s Temple repairs. If authenticated, it provides a rare piece of physical evidence confirming the Biblical narrative.
For nearly 2,000 years, the Bible has stood like a rock. Many seek to destroy it, disprove it, question its relevance, or weaken its power, yet it stands as firm today as when God first wrote it. But for every rising attack on the Bible, we find new evidence defending its claim as the inspired Word of God. The Bible stands. Sometimes Christians challenge God’s truth. When we participate in sinful activities, harbor an unforgiving spirit, or mock sinful behavior, we attack God’s Word.
Even when we challenge its truth, however, the Bible stands. This applies both to its promises and its warnings. We don’t need to take scientists’ and archaeologists’ words for it; it speaks for itself!
So when you sit down to watch television, when you’re offended by a Christian brother, or when you hear an off-color joke, remember your actions will be held accountable to the Bible, which stands—forever.
