We live in a changing world that is full of questions, and the answers must come from the unchanging truth of God's word.

Today we look into Scripture with Scott Pauli to discover what the Bible says.

Ask the Lord to speak to you and to give you truth to share with others.

What is the Bible? Where did it come from? How can we be sure that it is accurate? Can it be trusted?

in the world we live in today. Where do you find the answers? We believe that the Bible is the

very word of the living God and that you can trust the word of God because you can trust the God

of the Word. Now, the term Bible is an

interesting term. Where does it come from? Well, it actually comes from a word that means role or book.

Now, book, we understand. Role is a reference to the way in ancient civilization that they would write.

I remember many years ago being in Cairo, Egypt, and they gave

scrolls. They took reeds that grew along the Nile River, and they would cut them into strips,
