WELCOME TO KENNEDY CLASSICS

TRUTH AND DEFENDING YOUR FREEDOM.
WELCOME TO KENNEDY CLASSICS.

BIRTH TO AMERICA."

ONCE AGAIN, THAT'S 888-332-3069.
OCTOBER 31ST IS JUST A FEW DAYS AWAY FROM NOW,
AND IT MARKS THE 500TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE
PROTESTANT REFORMATION WHICH BEGAN WITH MARTIN
LUTHER NAILING HIS 95 THESES TO THE CHURCH DOOR
IN WITTENBURG, GERMANY.
AT THE TIME, EVEN LUTHER HIMSELF COULD HARDLY HAVE
KNOWN WHAT HE WAS UNLEASHING.
BECAUSE OF THE REFORMATION, THE BIBLE
BECAME WIDELY AVAILABLE TO INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS
OF THE CHURCH, AND THE TRANSFORMING POWER OF
THE WORD OF GOD CHANGED THE WORLD.
THE REFORMERS REDISCOVERED THE TRUTH THAT JESUS WAS
NOT MERELY LORD OVER SOME SEQUESTERED SPIRITUAL
REALM, BUT OVER EVERYTHING.
SO HOW DOES THAT AFFECT YOUR LIFE?
DR. D. JAMES KENNEDY GIVES US A CRYSTAL-CLEAR
PICTURE OF WHAT THE REFORMATION WAS CHIEFLY
ABOUT, AND WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A PROTESTANT, IN HIS
MESSAGE, "THE REFORMATION: THEN AND NOW."
OUR SCRIPTURE LESSON THIS MORNING IS TAKEN FROM THE
FIRST CHAPTER OF PAUL'S EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS.
ROMANS CHAPTER 1, BEGINNING WITH THE
14TH VERSE.
MAY WE HEAR THE INSPIRED WORD OF THE LIVING GOD.
AND MAY GOD SPEAK TO US TODAY THROUGH HIS HOLY
WORD AND MAY HIS NAME EVER BE PRAISED.
AMEN.
OCTOBER 31ST IS, OF COURSE, REFORMATION DAY.
IT IS THE BIRTHDAY OF PROTESTANTISM.
ARE YOU A PROTESTANT?
MANY PROTESTANTS AREN'T.
WHY THEY HAVE NO MORE IDEA WHAT THE REFORMATION WAS
ABOUT THAN THEY COULD EXPLAIN TO YOU THE SPECIAL
THEORY OF RELATIVITY.
THEY HAVE NO MORE IDEA WHAT THE GOSPEL IS THAN
THOSE THAT LIVED IN THE DEPTHS OF THE DARK AGES.
THEY ARE MEMBERS OF A CHURCH BY ACCIDENT OF
BIRTH, AND THEY ATTEND BY MERE HABIT, AND THEY WOULD
HAVE NO MORE IDEA WHEN THEY WENT INTO ONE CHURCH
WHETHER THE PREACHER WAS PREACHING THE GOSPEL OR
WHETHER HE WAS PREACHING THE ABSOLUTE ANTITHESIS
TO IT.
WHAT LUTHER REDISCOVERED WAS SIMPLY "GRACE."
AND IF ANYONE HAS THE IDEA THAT GRACE IS SOMETHING
THAT YOU EARN BY YOUR GOOD LIFE OR YOUR GOOD WORKS,
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT GRACE IS.
GRACE IS THAT WHICH IS TOTALLY UNEARNED, TOTALLY
UNDESERVED, TOTALLY UNWORKED FOR.
IT IS FREE; IT IS GIVEN TO PEOPLE WHO DESERVE THE
VERY OPPOSITE.
IT IS HEAVEN GIVEN TO PEOPLE THAT OUGHT TO
GO TO HELL.
IT IS THE ASTOUNDING, AMAZING GRACE OF GOD
WHICH IS UNLIKE ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD.
AND WE SIMPLY TURN IT AROUND AND MAKE IT INTO
SOME KIND OF MERIT OF OUR OWN.
BUT CHRIST, IN THE EFFULGENCE OF HIS GLORY
AND THE WONDER OF HIS GRACE, DIED ON THE CROSS
AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD AND OFFERS SALVATION FREELY,
GRATUITOUSLY, GRACIOUSLY TO EVERY UNDESERVING,
UNWORTHY SINNER WHO WILL BELIEVE IN HIS CROSS.
UNDESERVED, UNEARNED- THAT IS GRACE.
AND IN 1483 IN THE HUMBLE HOME OF A WOODCUTTER, A
LITTLE CHILD WAS BORN NAMED MARTIN LUTHER.
MARTIN LUTHER NEVER SET OUT TO DO ANYTHING GREAT.
HIS ONLY DESIRE WAS THE SALVATION OF HIS OWN SOUL.
YET, AS THE GREAT WRITER CARLYLE SAID, LUTHER WAS
GREAT NOT IN THE SENSE OF SOMEBODY WHO SET OUT TO
ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING, BUT GREAT AS A MOUNTAIN IS
GREAT- JUST BY STANDING THERE.
AND THAT MOUNTAIN CHANGED THE COURSE OF HISTORY, AS
GOD IN HIS MARVELOUS PROVIDENCE REVEALED TO HIM
SOMETHING THAT WAS NOT GOING TO REMAIN WITH HIM
FOR LONG.
AND SO LUTHER GREW UP, WENT TO COLLEGE.
HE WAS GOING OFF TO LAW SCHOOL TO STUDY LAW, AND
HE AND A FRIEND WERE WALKING BACK TO THE
UNIVERSITY AND THE SKY BECAME GLOWERING AND IT
DARKENED.
THE CLOUDS GATHERED AND THE RAIN BEGAN TO DESCEND.
THEY WEREN'T PARTICULARLY INTERESTED, HARDY FOLKS
THOSE, UNTIL SUDDENLY THERE WAS A FLASH OF
BRIGHTNESS THAT ALMOST BLINDED LUTHER, AND A
THUNDEROUS SOUND AS LIGHTNING STRUCK HIS
FRIEND RIGHT AT HIS SIDE, KILLING HIM INSTANTLY,
THROWING LUTHER ONTO HIS FACE IN THE MUD, FILLING
HIS HEART WITH TERROR.
HE WAS ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN ANOTHER BOLT WAS GOING TO
FALL AND HIT HIM, AND HE LIFTED UP HIS MUDDY FACE
AND HIS DIRTIED HAND TO HEAVEN AND SAID, "HELP,
ST. ANNA, AND I WILL ENTER A MONASTERY."
AND SO HE SET OUT TO DO HIS GOOD DEEDS TO EARN HIS
MERIT, TO GET ALL OF THE MERIT BADGES HE COULD TO
SAVE HIS SOUL.
AND WHEN HE ENTERED INTO THOSE DOORS OF THE
AUGUSTINIAN MONASTERY IN ERFURT, GERMANY, AND THOSE
GREAT DOORS CLANGED CLOSED BEHIND HIM, MARTIN LUTHER
WAS DEAD TO THE WORLD.
STAUPITZ, THE HEAD OF THE MONASTERY, ONE OF THOSE
FEW PEOPLE THAT REALLY HAD GRASPED THE GOSPEL IN THE
MIDST OF THOSE DARK AGES, SET HIM TO TEACHING THE
SCRIPTURES.
AND TOLD HIM TO TEACH THE BOOK OF ROMANS, FROM WHICH
I READ TODAY.
AND LUTHER CAME ACROSS THAT PASSAGE IN ROMANS
1:17, WHICH IS CALLED THE "BIRTH TEXT" OF
PROTESTANTISM.
IT IS CARVED INTO THIS PULPIT IN FRONT OF YOU:
"AS IT IS WRITTEN, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH"
ROMANS 1:17.
AND LUTHER CAME ACROSS THAT VERSE AND HE COULD
NOT UNDERSTAND IT.
STAUPITZ DECIDED ABOUT THIS TIME TO SEND HIM AS
AN EMISSARY TO ROME, HOPING THAT THAT MIGHT DO
SOME GOOD FOR HIS SOUL.
NOW, MARTIN LUTHER WAS THOROUGHLY CONVINCED THAT
THE CITY OF ROME WAS INHABITED BY ANGELS AND
SAINTS.
BUT HE WAS IN FOR A VERY DISAPPOINTING SHOCK.
WHEN HE GOT THERE HE RAN LIKE A CRAZED PILGRIM, HE
SAID, FROM ONE CHURCH TO ANOTHER, FROM ONE SHRINE
TO ANOTHER, FROM ONE RELIC TO ANOTHER, SAYING ALL OF
THE PRESCRIBED PRAYERS AND ADDING UP THE NUMBER OF
DAYS OF INDULGENCES THAT HE HAD EARNED, UNTIL AT
LAST HE CAME TO THE SCALA SANCTA.
THOSE WERE THE ACTUAL STAIRS UPON WHICH CHRIST
HAD STOOD 1,500 YEARS BEFORE THAT, THAT LED UP
TO PONTIUS PILATE'S PALACE WHERE HIS SEAT WAS, WHERE
HE PASSED JUDGMENT.
AND THEY HAD BEEN BROUGHT 300 YEARS AFTER THAT BY
THE MOTHER OF CONSTANTINE INTO THE CITY OF ROME.
AND NOW THE PILGRIMS WENT UP THESE STAIRS ON THEIR
KNEES PRAYING THE VARIOUS PRAYERS ON EACH STEP.
AND HE GOT PART OF THE WAY UP WHEN HE THOUGHT THAT HE
HEARD A VOICE.
IT WAS BUT A WHISPER, BUT IT SAID, "OH MARTIN, THE
JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH."
BUT HE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT.
AND HE WENT UP SEVERAL MORE STEPS AND SAID THE
APPROPRIATE PRAYERS, AND THAT VOICE, WHICH WAS BUT
PIANISSIMO, HE HEARD AGAIN- THIS TIME FORTE:
"THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH."
AND HE SAID MORE PRAYERS AND WENT UP SEVERAL MORE
STEPS, AND THEN THE VOICE CAME AGAIN- THIS TIME IT
WAS THUNDERING, AS IF IT FILLED THE ENTIRE
CATHEDRAL.
THIS TIME IT WAS FORTISSIMO: THE JUST SHALL
LIVE BY FAITH!
SUDDENLY, LUTHER LEAPED TO HIS FEET.
HE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT EVERYBODY IN THE
PLACE DID NOT HEAR THIS VOICE.
HE LOOKED AROUND AND IT SEEMED THAT SCALES HAD
FALLEN FROM HIS EYES, AND SUDDENLY HE UNDERSTOOD
THAT WE ARE JUSTIFIED BY FAITH.
IN FACT, THE GREEK TEXT ACTUALLY SAYS:
THOSE JUSTIFIED BY FAITH SHALL LIVE.
AND CONSEQUENTLY, THOSE WHO SEEK TO BE JUSTIFIED
IN ANY OTHER WAY SHALL NOT LIVE.
AND HE RAN DOWN THE STAIRS AND OUT OF THE CITY AND
BACK TO WITTENBERG, AND HE BEGAN TO PREACH THE GLAD
TIDINGS OF THE GOSPEL OF THE FREE GRACE OF GOD.
AND THE GOSPEL CONTINUED TO GROW THERE IN
WITTENBERG UNTIL, AT LENGTH, A MAN BY THE NAME
OF TETZEL CAME HAWKING INDULGENCES.
INDULGENCES WERE SOMETHING THAT IN THAT DAY THEY
BOUGHT TO PAY TO GET LOVED ONES OUT OF PURGATORY.
AND LUTHER WAS UPSET BY THIS.
HE STUMBLED OVER A MAN LYING IN THE GUTTER AS HE
WAS GOING HOME, AND THE MAN HAD A PIECE OF PAPER
THAT WAS SIGNED BY THE POPE THAT SAID THAT ALL OF
HIS SINS HAD BEEN FORGIVEN WHEN HE PURCHASED THIS.
AS TETZEL SAID, "WHEN THE COIN FALLS INTO THE
BUCKET, THE SOUL RISES UP OUT OF PURGATORY."
AND LUTHER, KNOWING THAT THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS
THIS IN THE BIBLE, SAT DOWN AND WROTE 95 THESES,
STATEMENTS WHY THIS WAS CONTRARY TO THE TEACHING
OF THE BIBLE.
AND ON OCTOBER 31ST, 1517, HE WALKED ABOUT A MILE
FROM HIS HOME TO THE CASTLE CHURCH IN
WITTENBERG AND NAILED THOSE THESES TO THE DOOR.
THEY WERE WRITTEN IN LATIN.
THE PURPOSE FOR THEM WAS TO HAVE A DEBATE BETWEEN
OTHER SCHOLARS AND THEOLOGIANS ABOUT THAT.
BUT PRINTING HAD ONLY RECENTLY BEEN DISCOVERED.
THE THESES WERE TRANSLATED INTO LATIN AND THEN INTO
GERMAN AND THEN OTHER LANGUAGES, AND SOON THEY
SPREAD ALL OVER EUROPE, AND THE WHOLE CONTINENT
WAS ABLAZE WITH THIS.
ECK, DR. ECK, THE GREATEST DEBATER IN EUROPE,
CHALLENGED HIM TO DEBATE.
LUTHER WAS BUT A HUMBLE MONK, BUT HE ACCEPTED IT.
AND BASED UPON THE SCRIPTURES, PEOPLE WERE
ASTONISHED TO FIND THAT HE HAD BACKED ECK RIGHT UP
AGAINST THE WALL.
SO NOW IT WAS DEMANDED THAT HE COME TO THE DIET
OF WORMS.
I REMEMBER A STUDENT IN SCHOOL SAID THAT LUTHER
WENT TO A COUNCIL WHERE ALL THEY ATE WAS WORMS.
NO, THE DIET OF WORMS, AS IT IS PRONOUNCED, IS NOT A
DIET OF WORMS; IT WAS A GREAT CONVENTION OF BOTH
THE AUTHORITIES IN STATE AND CHURCH THAT MET TO
CONSIDER THIS NOW VERY CONTROVERSIAL ISSUE OF
WHAT WAS THE GOSPEL.
AND LUTHER WAS TOLD NOT TO GO.
"REMEMBER JOHN HUS," HE WAS WARNED.
A HUNDRED YEARS BEFORE THAT JOHN HUS, WHO WAS A
PROFESSOR IN BOHEMIA WHO HAD MADE THE SAME
DISCOVERY, WAS INVITED TO COME TO THE COUNCIL OF
CONSTANCE.
HE WAS GIVEN SAFE CONDUCT THERE AND BACK, BUT WHEN
THEY GOT THERE THEY DECLARED HIM TO BE A
HERETIC, CANCELED HIS SAFE CONDUCT, SAID THERE WOULD
BE NO DEBATE, AND BURNED HIM AT THE STAKE.
"REMEMBER JOHN HUS," THEY SAID OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
"DON'T GO TO WORMS."
LUTHER SAID, "THOUGH THE DEVILS BE AS THICK AS THE
TILES ON THE ROOF, I GO TO WORMS."
HE WAS CONVINCED THAT THEY WOULD ALLOW A DEBATE.
AND SO, IN A LARGE WAGON PULLED BY A COUPLE OF OXEN
HE SLOWLY WOUND HIS WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRYSIDE
OF GERMANY TO THE CITY OF WORMS.
AND TO HIS AMAZEMENT THERE WERE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE GATHERED THERE.
HE WENT INTO THIS GIGANTIC HALL, LARGER THAN THIS,
WHERE THERE WERE 5,000 PEOPLE INSIDE, AND THERE
AT THE HEAD, SEATED UPON A GREAT THRONE CHAIR, WAS
THE NEWLY CROWNED AND ELECTED EMPEROR OF THE
HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE, THE SPANIARD, CHARLES V-
JUST A VERY, VERY YOUNG MAN HIMSELF.
AND BESIDE HIM WERE THE ELECTORS FROM THE VATICAN;
ALEXANDER, AND ECK.
IN ADDITION THERE WERE ARCHBISHOPS AND BISHOPS;
AND THERE WERE DUKES AND COUNTS AND PRINCES; THE
FIVE ELECTORS OF THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE, INCLUDING
FREDERICK THE WISE, WHO WAS LUTHER'S ELECTOR, WERE
ALL THERE.
THIS WAS AN ISSUE OF GREAT IMPORTANCE.
AND OUT IN FRONT OF THE THRONE CHAIR WERE SEVERAL
LONG TABLES COVERED WITH BOOKS, AND HE WAS TOLD,
WHEN HE WAS BROUGHT OUT INTO THE ROOM, CLOTHED IN
THE HUMBLE GARMENTS OF A MONK, THAT HE WAS NOT TO
SPEAK UNLESS HE WAS SPOKEN TO.
AND HE WAS ONLY TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS PLACED TO
HIM, AND HE WAS TO ANSWER THEM FIRST IN LATIN AND
THEN IN GERMAN.
AND ECK ASKED THE QUESTION: "ARE THESE YOUR BOOKS?"
HE WALKED UP ONE SIDE OF THE TABLE AND DOWN THE
OTHER AND SAID, IN LATIN AND GERMAN, "YES, THEY ARE."
HE ASKED HIM THE SECOND QUESTION, "WILL YOU RECANT?"
IT WAS AS IF A SPEAR PIERCED HIS HEART.
SUDDENLY HE SAW IN HIS MIND'S EYE THE FLAMES
CONSUMING THE FLESH OFF OF HUS.
HE COULD NOT BELIEVE THEY WERE DOING IT AGAIN.
IT WAS RECANT OR BURN, AND LUTHER WAS STUNNED.
HIS KNEES GREW WEAK; HE ALMOST COLLAPSED ON THE
FLOOR.
AND HE SAID, "SINCE THIS IS A MATTER OF SUCH GREAT
IMPORTANCE, THE ETERNAL SALVATION OF HUMAN SOULS,
I ASK FOR SOME TIME TO CONSIDER MY ANSWER."
THEY BOOED AND HISSED, LAUGHED, AND HE WAS GIVEN
TWENTY-FOUR HOURS.
THEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT HE SPENT THAT NIGHT ON HIS
KNEES PRAYING TO GOD FOR STRENGTH FOR WHAT HE KNEW
LAY AHEAD.
THE NEXT DAY HE WAS LED OUT AGAIN.
"WILL YOU RECANT?"
LUTHER SAID, "SINCE SOME OF THESE BOOKS DEAL WITH
THINGS SUCH AS THE LORD'S PRAYER AND OTHER THINGS
THAT WE ALL AGREE ON, HOW CAN I RECANT ON THESE
THINGS?"
AND ECK SAID, "I WANT A CLEAR ANSWER DEVOID OF
HORNS OR HOOFS.
WILL YOU OR WILL YOU NOT RECANT?"
AND HE SAID, "SINCE YOU DEMAND SUCH, I WILL GIVE
YOU AN ANSWER WITHOUT HORNS OR WITHOUT HOOFS.
SINCE MY CONSCIENCE IS BOUND BY THE WORD OF GOD,
UNLESS I AM REFUTED BY CLEAR TESTIMONY OR
ARGUMENTS FROM THE HOLY SCRIPTURE, AND SINCE IT IS
UNWISE TO GO AGAINST CONSCIENCE, SINCE IT IS
OBVIOUS THAT SYNODS AND POPES HAVE BOTH ERRED, I
CANNOT AND I WILL NOT RECANT ANYTHING."
THERE WAS A HUGE UPROAR FROM THE 5,000 PEOPLE THERE.
"HERETIC! BURN HIM. BURN HIM."
AND THEN LUTHER PRONOUNCED THOSE FINAL WORDS THAT
HAVE EVER ETCHED THEMSELVES INTO THE MINDS
OF MEN WHO LOVE LIBERTY.
HE SAID, AND HERE RELIGIOUS LIBERTY WAS BORN
FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER: "HERE I STAND.
I CANNOT DO OTHERWISE.
GOD HELP ME.
AMEN."
HE WAS CONDEMNED TO BE BURNED AT THE STAKE, GIVEN
20 DAYS TO CHANGE HIS MIND, AND HE MADE HIS WAY
SLOWLY BACK, AND THERE WAS THE THUNDER OF HORSE'S
HOOVES, AND A GREAT GROUP OF MEN CAME GALLOPING DOWN
BESIDE HIM.
HE THOUGHT THEY HAD CHANGED THEIR MIND AND
WERE GOING TO KILL HIM RIGHT THERE.
SUDDENLY HE WAS LIFTED OUT OF THE WAGON ONTO ONE OF
THE HORSES.
THESE WERE THE MEN OF FREDERICK THE WISE, WHO
TOOK HIM TO THE TEMPLE IN THE THURINGIAN FOREST, TO
THE FORTRESS RATHER, AND THERE IN THAT FORTRESS HE
WAS UNDER GUARD FOR ONE YEAR, DURING WHICH TIME HE
TRANSLATED THE WHOLE BIBLE FROM THE HEBREW AND THE
GREEK INTO GERMAN- A BOOK WHICH TOTALLY DETERMINED
THE GERMAN LANGUAGE FROM THAT TIME FORWARD.
AND THE REFORMATION SPREAD.
THE GOSPEL OF GRACE WAS HEARD AGAIN, AND PEOPLES
LIVES WERE CHANGED.
SALVATION IS BY GRACE.
IT IS UNEARNED, UNDESERVED, UNMERITED.
IT IS PROVIDED BY CHRIST ALONE, AND IT IS RECEIVED
BY A SIMPLE TRUST IN HIM.
MAY WE PRAY.
LORD JESUS CHRIST, MAY SOME SAY TODAY, PERHAPS
FOR THE FIRST TIME, "LORD JESUS, BE THOU
MY RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND MAY MY SIN BE THINE.
IN THY NAME.
AMEN.
AS DR. KENNEDY SAID, "SALVATION IS BY GRACE.
IT IS UNEARNED, UNDESERVED, UNMERITED.
IT IS PROVIDED BY CHRIST ALONE, AND IT IS RECEIVED
BY A SIMPLE TRUST IN HIM."
HAVE YOU PLACED YOUR TRUST IN JESUS CHRIST OR ARE YOU
STILL TRUSTING IN YOUR OWN EFFORTS TO GET TO HEAVEN?
I URGE YOU- DON'T WAIT- ACCEPT THE FREE GIFT OF
ETERNAL LIFE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS OFFERING EVEN
NOW.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT, WE CAN GO TOGETHER
TO GOD IN PRAYER.
SIMPLY PRAY THIS PRAYER WITH ME, "LORD, JESUS
CHRIST, I KNOW THAT I AM A SINNER AND I REPENT AND
ASK YOU TO FORGIVE ME FOR MY SINS.
I PLACE MY TRUST IN YOU ALONE KNOWING THAT I COULD
NEVER BE GOOD ENOUGH TO GO TO HEAVEN BASED UPON MY
OWN MERIT.
THANK YOU FOR THE FREE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE.
IN YOUR NAME I PRAY, AMEN."
I HOPE YOU PRAYED THAT PRAYER JUST NOW.
AND IF YOU DID, WE HAVE A BOOK THAT WE'D LIKE TO
SEND YOU ENTITLED, BEGINNING AGAIN, WHICH IS
PRECISELY WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
IN THESE PAGES, YOU'LL LEARN HOW TO READ AND
STUDY THE BIBLE AND SO MUCH MORE.
TO RECEIVE YOUR COPY OF BEGINNING AGAIN, JUST
WRITE TO OUR ADDRESS OR CALL OUR TOLL-FREE NUMBER.
GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU DO.
AS DR. KENNEDY EXPLAINED TODAY, THE HEART AND SOUL
OF THE GOSPEL IS THAT WE CAN BE JUSTIFIED BEFORE A
HOLY GOD THROUGH FAITH ALONE IN JESUS CHRIST'S
WORK ON OUR BEHALF.
AND THAT TRUTH WAS REDISCOVERED BY MARTIN
LUTHER AND OTHERS AS THEY PUT ASIDE THE ERRORS OF
MEN THAT HAD CREPT INTO THE CHURCH'S THEOLOGY AND
WENT BACK TO THE SCRIPTURES ALONE.
THE WORD OF GOD IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR
LIVES.
IT HAS HELPED BUILD THE WORLD WE LIVE IN, AND
CONTINUES TO TRANSFORM LIVES AND CULTURES DAILY.

THE WORD OF CHRIST THROUGH THE SCRIPTURES, AND THAT'S
