Two truths and a lie about the Bible. Big important topic. Is it an optional resource? Just one of many things that we can learn from. What's the lie and what are the truths? All of that on the Jesus Over Everything show today. I'm your host Lisa Whittle. And if you're new here, welcome. If you've been around, you know how this goes. Jesus, honesty, and straight talk.

Let's go.

I've been talking to you all month about Compassion International, a ministry I dearly love.

We've personally been sponsoring

a child in El Salvador named Paula since about 2011, and she's now a young woman. I got to meet her

and see her home, just an incredible experience. We've written letters back and forth through the

years. It's become a relationship of sorts. Such a blessing to us.

Lots of kids in other countries long for this.

It gives them such hope in the midst of poverty and pain to know that someone is thinking

of them, giving to them, writing them letters, a true heart connection.

I can tell you when I was over there that one of the things that was the most

compelling is seeing these kids bring out scrapbooks of letters from their sponsors and talk about

what it meant to them to know that they were remembered, to know that they were thought of.

Letters to these kids are as important as the financial piece. If you are interested in forming

a relationship like this,

the link to see the kids like Paola all over the world that are in need is in the show notes,

or go to compassion.com forward slash show. And as a thank you, we're going to send you my

bookhole as a gift. I've been seeing a trend online recently that bothers me talking about the Bible as if it's an

optional resource instead of the inspired word of God. A lot of word games that play, well, the Bible

isn't God. It is something to loosely base our life on, just some really good input.

The other day I got into a discussion about the word biblical if this was a helpful word or a

harmful one.
