0:00.0	The Bible is designed to take you to a relationship, not simply to take you to information.
0:05.0	Dr. Tony Evans says knowing the Bible isn't enough if it doesn't lead you to worship the king.
0:10.0	If you don't pursue the relationship, based on the information, you can be brilliantly absent from the Savior.
0:17.0	This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the archives of Dr. Tony Evans.
0:26.3	Every Christmas season comes with its own mix of busyness, expectations, and distractions,
0:32.7	and all of it forces us to answer a simple question. What is Jesus worth to us? In Matthew 2, we learned that

2:03.6	everybody two years and under. So there is a two-year window from the time they saw the star
2:10.0	and the time they arrived at the house with the child. Every nativity scene that shows the wise men at the manger didn't come from the Bible.
