Without God’s self-revelation through the Holy Scriptures we call the Bible, our understanding of God from the “natural” world would be very limited. We worship a self-revealing God who wants to be known, and it is in the timeless literature of the Holy Bible that we come to know about God. From Genesis 1 to […]

Though created free beings, each is an indivisible unity of body, mind and spirit, dependent upon God for life and breath and all else. When our first parents disobeyed God, they denied their dependence […]
