Glory to Glory 01: Transformed from Glory to Glory

Glory to Glory 03: A Unified Library

Even though the Bible is really a library of 66 individual books written on three continents in three different languages over a period of approximately fifteen hundred years by more than 40 authors who came from all walks of life, the Bible remains one unified book from beginning to end, without contradiction.

This unity sets the Bible apart from all other books as utterly unique and is evidence of the divine origin of the words that God moved men to record.

Anatomy of the Soul 09: The Emotional Foundation of Knowledge

The Fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom (Proverbs 1:7; 9:10). What is the relationship of emotional experience to knowledge and wisdom? It may appear to us that the two are completely unrelated, but the Bible teaches that a right emotional relationship to God is the foundational principle for knowing anything rightly. In that sense, our emotional connection to God has priority over our knowledge about him.
