Our culture is big on the value of self-esteem. We’re encouraged to see ourselves as beautiful, intelligent, and perfect. But the Bible doesn’t concede to such dishonest self- flattery. Instead, God’s Word delivers a true appraisal of our shortcomings before a holy God. On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez turns to a passage from Colossians that should encourage us not because it bolsters our self-image, but rather because it details how God loves us in spite of our flaws.
There are many in our world that will say the Bible is made up; it's just a bunch of stories with no historical foundation. Why should anyone believe any of it? But when we look at the archaeological evidence from the ancient Holy Lands, we find that their world confirms the truths of the Bible...it continually proves the Bible to be true. Be sure to request the book The Essential Archaeological Guide to the Bible Lands with your generous donation this month.
