WHKW Broadcast 16 – I am a Bible Believer for Good Reasons

Introduction:

                                      Welcome to the Bible Stands with Pastor Allan McCracken. This program is brought to you by Liberty Bible Church, in Vienna, Ohio. We are an independent bible believing church that stands solely on the Word of God.
	
	For today’s message, Pastor Allan will be teaching us how we can be Bible believers based on historical evidence. The title for this sermon is, “I am a Bible Believer for Good Reasons.” How would you respond if someone told you that the bible wasn’t the Word of God? What if they said the Bible wasn’t trustworthy or that it was simply written by men & not of God? Today’s broadcast will equip you with historical evidence that points you to the truth & accuracy of the Bible. This lesson in apologetics is an essential key for Christian growth, so please stay with us as Pastor Allan reads from Romans 1:16.

                                      Today, Pastor McCracken shared some ways in which we can respond to those who doubt the Bible. He also showed us how the Bible compares to other ancient works of literature. Just by examining the historical evidence surrounding these ancient writings, it is easy to see how the Bible is trustworthy. Pastor Allan’s hope & prayer is that we all know what we believe & why we believe it. Christianity is not based on speculation or blind faith, but on the hard evidence that God has provided.

                                      We also don’t want to leave today without offering the lost sinner a chance to come to faith in Jesus Christ. If today’s message has made you aware of the absence of Jesus in your life, don’t let another minute go by without taking His free gift of salvation. Just ask Jesus to save you. This way you can fully know 100% that you are saved & that you will go to Heaven.

                                      If you’re not sure how to pray, feel free to pray along with me…Dear God, I am a sinner & I need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ shed His blood & died for my sin. I am willing to turn from my rebellious ways, & invite Christ to come into my heart to become my own personal Lord & Savior. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

                                      If you have just said this prayer, then God forgave your sins & will take you to Heaven when you die. You see, the bible says in Romans 10:13 that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved, and if you meant this with all of your heart, then you too will now have eternal life.
