In our second message on Spiritual and Emotional Health, we ask the important question, "What do we do with our feelings?" Do we allow them to control us, dictate life to us, and govern our actions? Or do we identify them, process them and give them over to God, discerning the warning lights of our soul?

In our last message of the series: How Not To Read The Bible, we ask the question, “Are there contradictions in the Bible?”  The question is of vital importance because if there are contradictions then the Bible must not be the word of God.  If God contradicts himself then he cannot be trusted.  Those who stand in opposition to the reliability of scripture are constantly arguing that the Bible is full of contradictions, but as we will discover, their statement is simply not true. 

Reading and understanding the Bible can be a challange. We put together this quick video to help you get started reading the most important collection of books you will ever hold.

When we choose to follow Jesus, he transforms every part of our lives including how we handles stress and anxiety. Jesus did not save us from sin to have us be emotionally stunted and live in constant worry. Disciples of Christ are called to emotional and spiritual wholeness.

If we are going to understand the Bible we must recognize that Jesus came to save us from our sins. Before we get to Jesus it is important to know why we need saving from sin. Did God create us broken and sinful or did something happen to corrupt humanity and now things are not as they ought to be. If our story has a villain, is he still around and wanting to destroy God's children?

There are many questions that we should have about the reliability of a document over 2000 years old. We want to have healthy skepticism that seeks the truth beyond reasonable doubt. Unhealthy skepticism seeks truth beyond a shadow of a doubt. When we examine the evidence for the reliability and trustworthiness of the Bible it more than passes the test.

In our first message on "How Not To Read The Bible," we take a look at the issue of slavery. At one time people misread the Bible and used it to claim that God supported slavery. This is a great example of how not to read the Bible. God is against slavery.

If a girl asked you out and then claimed to be the Queen of England, you should be skeptical. But if you found out that she was indeed the Queen, then that would change everything. Jesus' invitation to follow him sounds crazy unless he really was God.
