Simply Come and AskHave you ever doubted the power or the willingness of God to heal? This is a doubt we may have about our own circumstances, if we’re going through a severe trial of body or even of soul. And it’s certainly a question we have when we see people we love suffering. There’s an amazing story about someone who was struggling to believe in God’s power to heal. It’s told in the Gospel of Mark 9, and it’s about a man who was very concerned for his son, who had been ailing since childhood.

The meaning of the Bible is clear enough, and deep down we know that this is a credible book that has the ring of truth to it. What we should do as we’re studying the Bible and asking for God’s help is also just put into practice what the Bible says. We may become more convinced of its trustworthiness the more we try to walk with God and follow the teaching of Scripture. Do you ever doubt whether the Bible is really true?

God’s Word Is TrueIt is so easy for girls—young or old—to believe worldly lies about beauty. The world will tell us that our beauty is found in the way that we look, and we better look a certain way. The world will tell us that our greatness is found in what we can achieve. And the world will tell us to rely on people and their affirmation for our self-worth. God’s Word tells us quite the opposite of those things.

Responding to DoubtDo you ever doubt whether the Bible is really true? If the Bible is true, it’s amazing because our sins are forgiven, we have the hope of eternal life, we’ve got guidance for everyday life. But what if the Bible isn’t true? What if you can’t trust biblical history? What if the Bible contradicts the true findings of science? What if the Bible really can’t be trusted on matters of sexuality, race, justice, and all the really important issues we’re struggling with in the world today?

Introduction When I was a kid, I was awestruck by the Apollo space missions. President Kennedy had set this audacious mission of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to earth by the end of the 1960s. It was an audacious, difficult, and dangerous mission. In January 1967, the crew of Apollo 1 was inside the capsule on the launch pad, running a test with the plan that in the following month they would blast off and be the first three-man mission to orbit around the earth.
