EVERYONE

HAS QUESTIONS

No cow has ever pulled its head up from the grass and asked, "What's the point of it all?" They don't need an answer. But we do. In fact, when we lack a sense of direction to our lives, we begin to fall apart. We become depressed, unmotivated, joyless. We need a sense of purpose.

But where can we find it?

People are always trying to say things that might somehow take away the pain. "It could be worse." "Don't worry, this will turn out for good. There's always a silver lining."

Do those "answers" ever help? What if there's a different and much better way of dealing with suffering than simply trying to figure it all out?

Many of us believe that the Bible is in some way a sacred book and yet haven't read it. Why?

The dozens of people whose writings comprise the Bible shared a clear conviction: that what they were writing was truthful, and it was from God. That leaves us with a decision. Are they liars? Or are they careless with the facts? Or is the Bible the truthful Word of God?

Facts about God and the Bible are easy to debate. And statements like "Smile, God loves you," are as easy to dismiss as they are to say.

But here's the question that really matters, the question that makes all the difference. Even if we want to know God, does God want to know us? Does the God of the universe, who sees everything about us, actually want a relationship with us?

Yes.
