How We Got Our Bible

So, how did the Bible get made? From where did it come? I heard a comedian once say, “Christians are so funny.

Old Testament Law – Me?

I’m all about getting the Bible into the hands of new Christians. When I lead a person to Christ I want them to begin reading the Bible as soon as possible. At Southern Hills we have stacks of Bibles for the sole purpose of giving away to the new comer. However, those who are given a Bible will often begin reading the Bible…at the beginning. … Continue reading Old Testament Law – Me?

Do We Have The Whole Bible?

This is a guest post by Pastor Chris Armer Have you ever wondered why we have 66 books in our Bible? Did a book get left out or possibly put in by mistake? Or how do you respond to two young men in white shirts and ties who stand at your door and invite you to read another testament of Jesus Christ? These are all … Continue reading Do We Have The Whole Bible?
