The Bible is absolutely truth because it is impossible for God to lie.

But Dr. Tony Evans says mankind will routinely deny that.

The problem is, like a lion in a great movie, people can't handle the truth.

This is the alternative with Dr. Tony Evans, author, speaker,

senior pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, Texas, and President of the Urban Alternative.

The Bible is an unparalleled book containing both historical and future accounts of natural and supernatural events.

It gives us the amazing opportunity to know God

and to understand ourselves and others better,

but only if we allow it to.

Dr Evans recently presented a series of lectures on preaching the word of God,

and although these talks are primarily aimed at equipping pastors in their individual ministries.

The information shared will help all of us gain insight into the power and uniqueness of the Bible.

Let's listen in as he talks about unleashing the power of the word.

Your understanding of the Bible and viewed toward the Bible

will greatly affect the power of your preaching. Any discussion of biblical exposition

that does not start with the text will automatically start in the wrong

place because the Bible is in fact our foundation. The Bible is a

unique document. It was written by 40 authors from different walks of life over 1500 years.

From 1450 BC to 90 AD.

It is unique in its teaching about God, about man, about salvation. No book in history has been preserved like the Bible.

The Bible offers a curse for those who add to it or who take from it.

It's good to know that curse before you start preaching it.
