Come close listen to the story
About a love more faithful than the morning
The Father gave his only Son just to save usThe earth was shaking in the dark
All creation felt the Fathers broken heart
Tears were filling heavens eyes
The day that true love died, the day that true love died
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn't move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day that true love died, The day that true love diedSearch your hearts you know you can't deny it
Lose your life just so you can find it
The Father gave his only son just to save usJesus is alive
He rose again
O praise Him, O praise Him
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Does God need the Bible?

"When Phillips Brooks first spoke to Helen Keller of Christ, she at once exclaimed, " Oh, I never knew His name before, but I always knew Him." She was acquainted with Him as the Christ of experience, the Universal Christ who lighteneth every man coming into the world; but she did not know Him as the Christ of history, the Christ who lived a human life in Palestine long years ago. Alas! There are many who know Him as the Christ of history who do not know Him as the Christ of experience. They know His name, but they do not know Him. They are familiar with the facts of His earthly life, they accept His system of teaching, they follow Him as an impersonal and abstract ideal, but they have not experienced the dynamic power of His living personality. They know Him as the Christ who came, but they do not know Him as the Christ who is here. The complete knowledge of Christ is possessed by those alone to whom the Christ of history has become the Christ of experience" By: James M. Campbell - From: Paul the Mystic: A Study in Apostolic Experience. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons. 1908.
If I had a small god, then I would say to you that one person could go to jail without a bible, and another could go home and read the bible on a regular basis and without exception the one that went home would grow more.
I don't want that god. I want a God that is not so easily limited. I don't want a god that was impotent until man invented the printing press. I don't want a god that is dependent on a King named James, in order to reveal Truth.
I want Helen Keller's God.
I want the God that bombards our cosmos with His Word and can only be avoided by the real blind people - those who prefer the darkness.
How many people have worked in vineyard their whole life and could not see Jesus right in front of them? For it is written "I am the vine," not "I am like the vine."
Every vine that has ever grown in the world, has preached Jesus to them that have ears.They took away what should have been my eyes
(But I remembered Milton's Paradise).They took away what should have been my ears,
(Beethoven came and wiped away my tears).They took away what should have been my tongue,
(But I had talked with God when I was young).He would not let them take away my soul -
Possessing that, I still possess the whole.-Helen Keller
The Word Creates, Reveals, and Redeems

The Bible is the written word, but even without the Bible, the Living Word would not be diminished.
How many ways are there to know that I am alive?
When I recently went to get my wisdom teeth removed (which explains alot of things) ... I was hooked up to alot of equipment that checked vital signs. One would beep, another would draw lines on a chart, another made a blue blip that went across a small screen, and to top it off the nurse took my pulse and anyone could feel the warmth of my skin. Before they knocked me out, I would have shook your hand, and if I wasn't sitting down then I could step on your toe, and all of these things would have shown you that I am alive. Each one was a witness to the same reality - though some of them appealed to the sense of hearing, sight, touch, and ... ahem ... smell.
Such is the nature of God's Word.
The Word is God's vital sign. We know God is alive, because of His Word. The Word is not merely contained as text on paper, Jesus was the Word, and indeed we are surrounded by the Word, as the whole of the universe is held together by God's Word.
Isaiah 55:11
so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.When we read the scriptures we are reading the little written chart of God's vital signs, it tells us through another method, the exact thing that Jesus tells us, and that the creation tells us, that a shake of the hand or our finger on the pulse would tell us.
The evidence for God's existence is manifold around us, all witnessing to the same reality - which is the firm conclusion that God creates, God reveals, and God redeems.
