The Bible Is From God

"Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel” (Isaiah 7:14). This prophecy, given some 700 years before it happened, was not “dually fulfilled;” did not apply to Isaiah’s own son or the serious situation at the time; but was only one-time fulfilled in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, so said God’s Holy-Spirit-inspired writer, Matthew, in Matthew 1:20-23. Only God could have prophesied such a unique, specific event, controlled its writing, preserved the prophecy for 700 years, and identified the event that completely fulfilled the original statement.  The Bible does this hundreds of times, proving that it comes only from God, but no other religion’s book does: the Hindu Rig-Veda; the Muslim Koran; or the Buddhist Tripitaka! - January 17, 2022

This and other minute thoughts of the day are published weekly in the online newspaper the Oneida Independent Herald. They are also available in Words of Wisdom Newspaper Articles.

Have a Good Heart: Mini Article Now Available

Solomon said: “He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, But whoever walks wisely will be delivered” (Proverbs 28:26).  Jeremiah wrote: "The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9); and “O LORD, I know the way of man is not in himself; It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps (Jeremiah 10:23). God’s inspired Word tells us not to depend only upon what our own heart says about our spiritual condition, but to listen to what God has said. “But ‘he who glories, let him glory in the LORD.’ For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends”              (2 Corinthians 10:17-18). Nowhere in the Bible are we told to “follow your own heart.” “A deceitful heart finds no good” (Proverbs 17:20).  - August 30, 2021
