Quotes 3....



Quotes 3.… “Are we lost, daddy?”…..

That quote is from a children’s book. I read it dozens of times. I don’t remember where it came from, and unfortunately, I don’t know what happened to it. It is out of print, so I’ve given up on having a copy again. As many times as I read it, I should be able to quote every page :)

The story was about a family going on vacation. They drove and drove, the father navigating just on the information he had HEARD about the destination and how to get there.

Soon, they began to see the same sights they had driven past already. They weren’t getting any closer to the vacation spot.

Eventually, they stopped and asked someone along the way. But the information given was incorrect. They ended up making yet another round, ending up no closer than before.

Finally, the father pulled out a map. Duh.

Are we lost? You bet.

Whose information are you basing your journey on?

Who are you asking direction from?

Ever think about pulling out the map? It’s probably laying around somewhere. It has the letters B-I-B-L-E printed on the outside.



“…the Holy Scriptures… are able to teach you how to be saved by believing in Christ Jesus. God has breathed life into all of Scripture.

It is useful for teaching us what is true.

It is useful for correcting our mistakes.

It is useful for making our lives whole again.

It is useful for training us to do what is right.

By using Scripture, a man of God can be completely prepared to do every good thing. (2 Tim. 3:15-17)
