The Bible and Its Worth

Lately, my mind was set on finishing my message for our worship this sunday that's why I could not focus on posting a new entry. I just thought of posting here the outline of the message I gave last tuesday on a youth camp. The title of this message is, "The Bible and its worth". I hope that as you read you will love the Bible more. Enjoy

Introduction:

Ang Celphone at ang Bibliya

Ang cellphone laging hawak at ipinapakita,

Ang Bible laging nakatago at ayaw ipakita.

Ang cellphone binibili kahit libo-libong halaga,

Ang Bible ayaw bilhin, kahit

isang daan ang halaga!

Ang cellphone laging pinapalitan ng case,

Ang Bible hindi man lang mabilhan ng case.

Ang cellphone ay ayaw magasgasan,_

Ang Bible hinahayaang maalikabukan.

Ang cellphone bihirang makaligtaan

kung saan iniwan,

Ang Bible madaling makaligtaan

kung saan naiwan.

Ang cellphone mahirap ipahiram, baka masira,

Ang Bible madaling ipahiram, kahit mawala.

Ang cellphone laging binabasa

kung may bagong message,

Ang Bible hindi binabasa

kaya hindi makita ang message.

Ang cellphone message masarap i-share,

Ang Bible verse nakakalimutang i-share.

Ang cellphone pinapakita ang lifestyle ng tao,

Ang Bible nagpapabago ng lifestyle ng tao.

Ang cellphone mabilis maluma,

Ang Bible hindi naluluma;

Ang cellphone message kung minsan ay late,

Ang Bible laging on time ang message.

Ang cellphone kailangan magload

para mag-message,

Ang Bible laging fully loaded ang message.

Ang cellphone ay mahalagang gamit ng tao,

pero ang Bible ay mas mahalaga

kung gagamitin ng tao.

Is the Bible worth our time?

1. BUILDS up our FAITH in GOD

Romans 10:17-”Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.”

I Peter 1:23-”For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.”

2. INSTRUCTS us how to Live life at its BEST

2 Timothy 3:16-17

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

3.BRINGS us to an INTIMACY with GOD

Psalm 119:9

“How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word

4.LEADS us to the RIGHT PATH

Psalm 119:108

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.”

5.EXAMINES our HEART’s CONDITION

Hebrews 4:12-

“For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”

Conclusion:

The Bible is number one

n literary publication and sales

It is number one in numbers of translations.

It is even number one in terms of criticisms.

But is it number one in your life?
