Effective prayer is the fruit of a relationship with God, not a technique for acquiring blessings.

The more we get to know God, the more we want to know him better.

Others have questions about how it is that God and human beings can both be speaking through the one document such that you can see and read the personalities of the human authors with their individual vocabularies and literary genres, and yet this is nevertheless the word of God. How can that be? This is quite a contrast with Islam, for example, which holds that the Koran has been dictated in Arabic by God and as a result Mohammed is nothing more than the one who memorizes the word so as to pass it on. There is nothing of human contribution.

Failure to believe stems from moral failure to recognize the truth, not from want of evidence, but from willful neglect or distortion of the evidence.

To God on whom we rely knows what suffering is all about- not merely in the way that God knows everything, but by experience.

What the Bible says is what God has disclosed and we want to approach this sacred text with cognitive reverence.

All of us would be wiser if we would resolve never to put people down, except on our prayer lists.
