You’ve probably heard ever since you were a kid: you need to read your Bible. But, why? Out of all the books that are out there, why is this the one Christians gravitate toward? How can a book that is thousands of years old have any impact on my life today in a culture that seems so far removed from when it was written? In this week’s episode, Cameron and Dr. J have a conversation on the importance of Scripture in our daily lives. You need the Bible, but if you’re unsure as to why, you’ll want to join us in this conversation.

02:28— How did we come to get the Bible that we know today?

06:31— Why do the Catholic Bibles and Protestant Bibles have a different number of books within them?

07:58 — How can we call the Bible the Word of God when it was penned by men? What makes these words the Word of God?

13:03 — Why does it sometimes feel like we’re unable to do what God is expecting of us?

16:04 — How do we effectively apply the Bible to our lives?

18:49 — Paul says we are dead to the Law. Does this mean that the Old Testament no longer applies to us?

20:35 — What does it mean that there’s no longer condemnation for those in Christ?

23:36 — What are some signs that we might be living a life under the Law rather than a life in the Spirit?

25:16 — What should I do if I’m reading my Bible, but I feel like I’m not getting much out of it?

28:29 — How do I move from just reading the Bible to allowing the Word of God to come alive in me?
